Urinary tract infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia are among the healthcare-associated infections. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is caused by urinary catheters that are placed to drain urine from the bladder. CAUTI is one of the most common infections among UTIs acquired in the hospital. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report published in 2020, approximately 75% of infections are associated with a urinary catheter during their hospital stays. Prolonged discomfort, longer hospital stays, increased treatment expenses, and even mortalities are the complications associated with CAUTI. As per CDC, nearly 13,000 deaths annually are associated with UTIs. Thus, increasing incidences of CAUTI, stokes the demand for coated medical devices, thereby driving the South America medical device coating market.
