Incontinence Device Application, Male



Incontinence Device Application, Male





Many patients don’t require an indwelling urinary catheter to manage their incontinence. For male patients, a male incontinence device, also known as a condom catheter or penile sheath, reduces the risk of urinary tract infection from catheterization, promotes bladder retraining when possible, helps prevent skin breakdown, and improves the patient’s self-image. The device consists of a condom catheter secured to the shaft of the penis and connected to a leg bag or drainage bag. It has no contraindications but can cause skin irritation and edema.
