Frequently Asked Questions
An external/condom catheter is a device designed to manage urinary problems due to incontinence or post-surgery. It is meant only for the male and comprises a flexible sheath with tubing attached.
An external catheter rolls over the penis like a condom and remains in place with the help of an adhesive. The urine from the urinary bladder flows into a bag that is attached to the catheter via tubing. This urinary bag may be secured to the leg or the bed rails.
A condom catheter helps prevent urinary tract infections because this type is external and there is no tubing inserted into the urinary bladder. It allows direct disposal of urine into the toilet plus keeps the skin free from the acidic effect of urine that could led to rash or bedsores.
An external/condom catheter can be worn up to 24 hours. It needs to be changed on a daily basis or every other day and should not be re-used. This helps avoid infections.
