A breakthrough for patients with urinary incontinence

BD PureWick™ External Catheters allow for simple, non-invasive urine output management in both male and female patients.

Using low pressure wall suction, the PureWick™ External Catheter wicks urine away from the patient and into a designated collection canister. With the PureWick™ External Catheter, you now have a new option for managing urinary incontinence.

There’s an alternative to Foley catheters

Your facility might face some common challenges when caring for patients who need urine output management support.

Your patients’ challenges

Skin irritation

Restless nights

Nighttime falls

Indwelling catheters

By wicking away urine and keeping the skin dry, the patient is more likely to have a better nights rest.

The PureWick™ External Catheter can reduce foley catheter usage by serving as an alternative for non-retensive incontinent patients.

Designed with you and your patients in mind

PureWick™ External Catheters were designed to provide a non-invasive option for urine output management. PureWick™ utilizes wall suction to draw voided urine from the catheter into a sealed collection canister, helping to keep skin dry. The PureWick™ Urine Collection System can provide suction capabilities in the absence of wall suction.

The Purewick™ External Catheter may be right for patients who:

Patient requiring urine output monitoring but does not meet indications for indwelling Foley catheterization
Urinary incontinence and/or frequent urination
Skin irritation related to urinary incontinence or absorbent briefs
Post-surgical or procedure immobility
Bedrest orders Diffculty walking from bed or chair to toilet
Diffculty using a bedpan

BD PureWick™ Male External Catheter

Male condom catheters are a Foley alternative for your patients with sufficient anatomy. However, approximately 30%* of men have incompatible anatomy for condom catheters, leaving nurses without good alternatives for these patients.¹ The PureWick™ Male External Catheter can provide you with a non-invasive option for urine management in your male patients who are currently incompatible with condom catheters. Integrating this into your bladder management options gives you a full portfolio of products to protect your patient’s skin and reduce indwelling catheter days.^4,5,6
