Feasibility Testing of a Urinary Drainage Bag Securement Device to Improve Patient and Clinician Ambulation Experiences
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Assistance, Educational Intervention, and 4 other interventions for Urinary System Disorder. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial tests how well the Bag Below Bladder (B3) Buddy device works in securing urinary drainage bags while walking. Keeping a urinary drainage bag below the bladder is the standard of care to maintain urine flow and prevent urine from backing up into the bladder. Despite the use of modern urinary drainage bags for over 60 years, workarounds, including hooking the bag into pants pockets, are being used to secure the bags while walking. The B3 Buddy may help keep the urinary drainage bag at the proper level for drainage while walking.
