Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA Cross-sectional Pilot Cohort Study Comparing Standard Urine Collection to the Peezy Midstream Device for Research Studies Involving Women.
The expanded quantitative urine culture protocol was used to compare the microbial abundance and diversity of voided urines obtained using a standard urine collection or using the Peezy midstream device versus paired periurethral specimens. ⋯ Compared with standard clean catch method, the Peezy urine collection device with and without the castile soap wipe resulted in urine with lower bacterial abundance that was distinct from the periurethra. Voided urine collected by Peezy may reduce postbladder microbial contribution.
