How does PrimaFit Female Condom Catheter work?

When properly positioned, PrimaFit’s ultrasoft wicking fabric absorbs and diverts urine away from the patient’s skin. Urine is then absorbed into the system’s core and suctioned into a collection canister, helping keep the skin dry and addressing a risk factor of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
