Spigot Guard is a revolutionary new CAUTI defense device that is extremely easy to use and inexpensive, but it can help to reduce CAUTIs dramatically. Its mechanism of action involves disinfecting and protecting the drainage port of a urine collection bag, and it provides effective elimination of 99.99% of the leading urinary pathogens associated with CAUTIs including:
- Proteus Klebsiella
- Escherichia coli
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus saprophyticus
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Each Spigot Guard cap is a disposable, one-time use device that is designed to remain in place over the drainage port between each handling, creating an effective antimicrobial barrier against the microorganisms responsible for catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).
The Spigot Guard packaging enables you to hang several caps from the drainage collection bag to make it easier to replace the old cap with a new one each time the bag is drained.

Spigot Guard is designed to protect the catheter lumen from intraluminal contamination. This model estimates the annual financial impact of reducing intraluminal CAUTIs in a 500-bed acute-care hospital, using current CAUTI benchmarks and published research on intraluminal infection.
