Testing a new intermittent catheter for men
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study asks men who use a specific type of catheter (hydrophilic, size 14 French, 40 cm long) at least three times a day to try a new catheter and share their experience through online questionnaires. The goal is to see how well the new catheter works for daily use.
