ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how quickly urine flows when using two different types of female catheters. The study will compare the "14 Fr Two Eyelet Coloplast Female SpeediCath Urinary Catheter" with the "14 Fr Coloplast Micro Zone Luja Female Catheter." The goal is to see which catheter works better for women who use intermittent catheters to empty their bladders.

To participate, you need to be a woman aged 18 or older who has been using intermittent catheters for at least a month. You shouldn't have any serious urinary tract issues, allergies to the catheters, or recent surgeries, and you should not be pregnant or breastfeeding. If you decide to join, you'll attend one visit that lasts about an hour, where you'll use the catheters, and then you'll have a follow-up phone call about a week later. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it may be a good opportunity for women looking for ways to improve their bladder care.
