Summary

This study compares how fast urine flows through two different catheters designed for women who regularly use catheters to empty their bladder. Seventeen women will test both catheters during one visit, and answer questions about satisfaction a week later. The goal is to see if one catheter allows faster drainage, which could make catheter use more efficient and comfortable.

What this could lead to: If one catheter works better, it could help women empty their bladder faster and more comfortably.
What could go wrong: This is a very small study (17 people) comparing two similar devices, so results may not apply to everyone. It only measures flow speed, not long-term safety or effectiveness.
