| Abstrakt: | Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the newly developed Conveen Optima urinary sheath with the established Clear Advantage urinary sheath in terms of patient satisfaction and preference. Method: This was a randomised, prospective, open, crossover study, in which each participant tested 10 urinary sheaths. Results: Conveen Optima provided a higher feeling of security, was easier to handle and apply and was more comfortable to wear than Clear Advantage. Furthermore, Conveen Optima was easier to apply with gloves. Finally, the overall product preference for the Conveen Optima sheath was 67 per cent. Conclusion: The new Conveen Optima urinary sheath was found to perform better than the well-established Clear Advantage sheath. Declaration of interest This study was funded by Coloplast A/S. |
