A new urethral catheter traction device to control bleeding after TURP
Official title: Development and Evaluation of an Innovative Urethral Catheter Traction Device for Hemorrhage Control Following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
Run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi · NCT07287488 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project tests a new catheter traction device on mannequins to see if it gives steady, comfortable pressure that could help control bleeding after TURP and asks clinicians about its usability.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Operating room nurses and urology specialist physicians experienced in urethral catheter application who provide informed consent are the intended participants for this simulation study.
✕Probably not a fit
Because this was a mannequin-based simulation, patients with actual postoperative bleeding or uncommon anatomies are unlikely to receive direct benefit until human clinical testing is completed.

What this trial studies
Researchers developed an innovative urethral catheter traction device and tested it in a simulated environment using mannequins to compare it with routine catheter traction techniques. Participants (operating room nurses and urology physicians) applied the device openly while outcome assessment was performed blinded. The study collects objective performance data plus healthcare professionals' feedback on usability, safety, and practicality. The protocol aims to identify whether the device provides stable pressure with fewer mobility, hygiene, or comfort drawbacks than current methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the device could provide more consistent bleeding control after TURP while improving patient comfort and mobility and reducing infection and irritation risks.
How similar studies have gone: Traditional traction methods (fixation to thigh/abdomen, weights, or gauze) have been used with mixed practical results, and this specific traction device approach is novel and has not yet been proven in patients.
