Brief Summary

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

This is a single-center prospective pilot study of PureWick used as a management for nocturia and reduction of nighttime falls associated with going to the bathroom. Subjects are followed up to 3 months after the intervention. As a pilot study, it is expected that a 3-month follow-up will adequately capture urinary and sleep outcomes data and any adverse events related or unrelated to the study device.

Detailed Description

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

Nocturia is a highly prevalent condition among older adults, significantly affecting the quality of life as well as putting them at an increased risk of falls and fractures. In those 65 and older, accidental falls are identified as the leading cause of injury and death. The chance of falling increases from 30% to 50% with age greater than 85 years.

A study identified that in 1508 ambulatory men and women, nighttime urination of 2 times at night is associated with increased risk of falls (OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.05-3.22), with significantly higher risks when it increased to 3 or more times at night (OR=2.15, CI 95% -1.04-4.44). Incontinence management that reduces the need to get out of bed will lead to reduced risk of falls and unintentional injury fatalities.

The PureWick Urine Collection System is intended for non-invasive urine output management. It pulls urine through tubing that is connected to a collection canister for proper disposal. It is designed to be used by patients, caregivers, or healthcare professionals in both home environments and professional care facilities.

The PureWick System allows individuals to void while still in bed, demonstrating the potential to reduce the risks of falls associated with nighttime voids in men and women with nocturia. We hypothesize that this will also improve sleep quality and overall quality of life.
