Potential participants will be identified by the team of healthcare professionals of the emergency department according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. If the patient meets the criteria, the emergency department team will be able to refer patients directly to the urology department, where the investigator or research assistant will again check the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will invite the patient or their relative/caregiver (if necessary) to participate in the study and will request their informed consent. The catheter insertion will be carried out by the research staff after the inclusion and randomisation of the participants.~After catheter insertion, participants and their family, friends, or other informal caregivers will receive information about wearing an indwelling urinary catheter and specific information to randomly inserted, standard Foley, or T-Control® catheters. Standard catheter care is permitted during the trial both managed by the participants and participants' caregivers. Additionally, participants will receive an incident diary in which participants can record any type of incident during the bladder catheterisation period. Two weeks after indwelling bladder catheter insertion, participants will be contacted by urology outpatients for a follow-up visit, during which the study catheter will be removed.~Finally, within a maximum period of two weeks after the follow-up visit, the participants will be invited to participate in an interview to assess the quality of life perceived by the participants during the study
The general purpose of this study is to assess the preliminary effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the T-Control® catheter versus the Foley type catheter in patients with Acute Urine Retention.
