Hospital-acquired infections remain one of the biggest challenges in modern healthcare — and among them, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) continue to have a significant clinical and financial impact.
According to the CDC’s 2023 National and State Healthcare-Associated Infection Report, CAUTIs increased by 8% compared to 2022. 

Up to 75% of hospital-acquired urinary infections are linked to catheter use, adding $758–$10,000 in costs per patient and extending hospital stays unnecessarily.
