Traditional catheter traction methods to control bleeding-such as fixing the catheter to the thigh or abdomen or using weights-have limitations, including restricted patient mobility, inconsistent pressure, and risk of infection or irritation. This study aims to develop an innovative urethral catheter traction device that provides effective and stable pressure, is easy to apply, and minimizes potential complications.

The study also evaluates healthcare professionals' perspectives on the usability, safety, and pr
