In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The UK PureWick™ At-Home Study is being carried out to see how well the PureWick™ Collection System works for women who use it at home instead of a traditional catheter. Traditional catheters are placed inside the body. The PureWick™ Collection System is different, it's placed outside the body . In this study, researchers want to find out: how effective the PureWick™ Collection System is in helping women manage urine collection at home, whether patients prefer using PureWick™ Collection System over the usual catheter, how it affects their sleep, and overall well-being.The PureWick™ Collection System is intended for the treatment of patients who leak urine (called urine incontinence). The PureWick™ Collection System is designed to help manage urine in female patients without needing to insert a urinary catheter into the body.
