An External Catheter Provides An Alternative Solution To Incontinence
12:50 pm
Many people will be surprised to know that catheters have been used since the time of the ancient Syrians. Of course, modern technology has created major advancements in catheter supplies that make them far more easy and comfortable to use. However, for anatomical reasons, men often find that using catheters is painful. As a result, many have opted to wear incontinence pants as a more comfortable solution to bladder control issues. For many men, an external catheter may provide an ever better alternative for several reasons.
An external catheter, also known as a condom catheter, is rolled onto the penis and attached to a tube that leads to a urinary drainage storage bag. This bag can be purchased in a variety of sizes depending on personal needs. For instance, a more active individual may prefer a smaller, less conspicuous bag. A person with limited mobility may prefer a large bag that does not need to be changed as often.
