Overview
Brief Summary
A prospective, uncontrolled, open-label healthy volunteer study to assess the performance of the PureWick Male and PureWick Flex Female external catheter devices in adolescents
Detailed Description
The objective of this healthy volunteer study is to understand if external catheters are an effective alternative in the adolescent population in both male and female adolescents. The main question it aims to answer is: Do the PureWick Male and PureWick Flex female external catheters effectively capture urine in the adolescent population after both healthcare professional placement and self-placement? Participants will void while wearing the external catheter two times and answer brief questionnaires assessing perceived wetness, IFU comprehension, comfort and ease of use. Total study participation time is 2-3 hours in a single day.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Performance of the PureWick System in Adolescents After HCP Placement and Self-placement
Time Frame: Approximately 2 hours after device placement
Capture rate following void (captured as % of urine captured by device and collected in canister, measured by weight). Prior to each void, the weight of the empty urine collection canister and the weight of a dry absorbent pad are collected. Participants void into the device while laying in a bed with the absorbent pad underneath them. After each void, the post-void weight of the urine collection canister and the post-void weight of the absorbent pad are collected. Capture rate is calculated as the weight of captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) / total urine volume (captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) + leaked urine (post-void pad weight - pre-void pad weight)) \* 100.
Secondary Outcomes
- IFU Comprehension(Approximately 2 hours after device placement)
- HCP Ease of Use(From date of first enrollment until the date of last patient completion, approximately 4 weeks)
- Participant Comfort(Approximately 2 hours after device placement)
- Participant Ease of Use(Approximately 2 hours after device placement)
