Comparison of Urinary Flow Speed Using 14 Fr Two Eyelet Coloplast Female SpeediCath Catheter Versus 14 Fr Coloplast Micro Zone Luja Catheter in Female Patients Using Intermittent Catheters

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare the urinary flow speeds of two different female catheters in women who use intermittent catheters to empty their bladder. The study focuses on evaluating the "14 Fr Two Eyelet Coloplast Female SpeediCath Urinary Catheter" against the "14 Fr Coloplast Micro Zone Luja Female Catheter" to understand differences in flow speed and patient satisfaction. Participants will be women who regularly use intermittent catheters and are at least 18 years old. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in a crossover design. One group will first use the Luja catheter, then have their bladder backfilled with sterile fluid equal to the urine volume collected, and then use the SpeediCath catheter. The other group will perform the same steps but start with the SpeediCath catheter first. These procedures will be done during one study visit, and outcomes will be measured using an office uroflow device. Each participant will take part in a single study visit lasting about an hour, followed by a telephone call approximately one week later. During the visit, researchers will measure various urinary flow parameters such as flow duration, peak flow rate, and total urine volume. Patient satisfaction with each catheter type will also be assessed. This study does not include long-term follow-up or additional treatment periods.
