Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CGH) bladder instillations in an outpatient setting at the time of suprapubic catheter (SPC) exchange in patients with history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). The main questions are:

1. is instillation of 150mL of CGH for five-minute duration at the time of SPC exchange feasible in an outpatient setting and tolerable for patients.
2. does this protocol decrease the rate of unplanned health care visits and improve patient quality of life.

Patients will undergo the treatment protocol during their routine suprapubic catheter exchanges.
