Urinary Incontinence
Conditions
Brief summary
This investigation is a randomized, single-blinded, parallel, single-center investigation. In total, up to 50 subjects (40 completers) were included and each subject had two test visits overseen by the Principal Investigator (PI), or designee. Each subject were enrolled in the investigation, which lasted up to 3 days (if Day 0 and Day 1 were not on same day). The subjects were randomly assigned to test either the prototype product or the comparator product, with at least 20 subjects assigned to each product.
Detailed description
This investigation was a randomized, single-blinded, parallel, single-center investigation. Up to 50 subjects (40 completers) will be included and each subject will have two test visits overseen by the Principal Investigator (PI), or designee. Each subject will be enrolled in the investigation, which can be up to 3 days (if Day 0 and Day 1 are not on same day). The subjects will be randomly assigned to test either the prototype product or the comparator product, with at least 20 subjects assigned to each product. The subjects will undergo cystoscopy and catheterization.
Interventions
The test product is a urinary catheter for bladder drainage through the urethra. The product is for intermittent use.
The comparator is a urinary catheter for bladder drainage through the urethra.
