Testing a catheter device to stop bleeding after TURP surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing a new device that uses a catheter to help stop bleeding after a prostate surgery called TURP. It's looking for healthcare professionals who are experienced with catheters to help evaluate whether the device works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during TURP surgery for an enlarged prostate. It is only for men aged 50+ who are already scheduled for this operation and are not at high risk for blood clots or other complications.
This study tests whether a special education program can help men who had prostate surgery and are going home with a urinary catheter feel less anxious and have better attitudes about preventing catheter infections. If you qualify, you would learn about how to care for your catheter to reduce your risk of infection.
This trial compares two surgeries for men with an enlarged prostate who have trouble urinating and need a catheter. It helps find out which procedure works better for getting patients back to normal urination.
This study tests whether a TENS machine (a device that uses mild electrical pulses) can reduce pain and improve comfort for people who have a urinary catheter after bladder or prostate surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
This trial tests whether using real-time ultrasound during endoscopic prostate surgery helps surgeons remove prostate tissue more completely and safely. Men aged 50-80 with an enlarged prostate who are scheduled for certain types of prostate surgery may be eligible.
