Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study comparing a 10 cm catheter with a 7 cm catheter in a group of female patients who, on a routine bases, empty their bladder using urinary catheters, by measuring residual urine after intermittent catheterization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study personnel will conduct three bladder scans after each catheterization in order to obtain the mean residual urine volume. Each patient will catheterize herself two times with each product, i.e. a total of four catheterizations.

Diagnosis and BMI will be collected at visit 1 to assess whether the residual urine volume differs between these subgroups.

The hypothesis that the mean residual volumes were equal when using the 7 and the 10 centimeter catheters was tested by means of the Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The study was designed as a randomised, single blind, cross-over study to eliminate bias.

Every subject was catheterisized with both 7 cm and 10 cm long catheters.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors
The subjects were handed out numbered boxes with the catheter randomised to be used and then cathererisized by herself.

The investigator was blinded to which catheter was used.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AABB

A=Coloplast SpeediCath Compact catheter, 7 cm B=Astra Tech POBE catheter, 10 cm 7 cm then 7 cm then 10 cm then 10 cm

Four catheterizations in total, two catheterizations with each study product in a randomized order.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

A=SpeediCath Compact 7 cm and B=POBE 10 cm

Intervention Type DEVICE

Catheterization should resemble the daily use as far as possible and at least 2 hours had to pass between 2 catheterizations.The study centre decided whether the subject performed all four catheterizations on one or several days.
