External Catheter & Leg Bag
Description
This unit is an external catheter made of silicon that fits over the penis like a condom with a tube that extends to allow urine to flow into an attached leg bag. The leg bag can then be emptied through an attached valve. Inside the condom portion is an adhesive that helps to prevent slippage and leaking. This external catheter may be used for up to 24 hours then must be discarded. The leg bag may be used for up to 15 days if cleaned frequently.
When using this unit a skin shield may be helpful to protect the skin and prevent irritation. The skin shield can be applied with a packaged wipe that contains a liquid skin barrier that dries to a tacky film. This protects the integrity of the skin and washes off easily. It is applied directly to the penis before wearing the external condom catheter.
If you hate leg bags, UroBag Pant is an option for you.
The unit can easily attach to a bedside bag for extra capacity, up to 2000ml or over 65 ounces.

Should I use other products with my new
external condom catheter ?
Break Every 24 Hours – Because the condom portion creates a seal between the silicon and the penis, moisture may build up in the skin. To avoid skin irritation you’ll need to remove the external condom catheter for some period of time every 24 hours. Some men require only 1 hour of air time each day, while others may need more. During this time a disposable absorbent brief or underwear is an excellent option.
