Tag: male incontinence device

The condom catheter, also known as an external urinary catheter, represents a non-invasive alternative to indwelling urethral catheterization for male patients requiring urinary management. This external collection device consists of a flexible sheath that fits over the penis, connected to a drainage tube that channels urine to a collection bag. Unlike internal catheters that require insertion through the urethra into the bladder, condom catheters remain entirely external, significantly reducing the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and urethral trauma.
