The PureWick™ System is a non-invasive external catheter system that helps women manage urinary incontinence at home. It includes the PureWick™ Female External Catheter and the PureWick™ Urine Collection System. The system uses suction and a soft, flexible wick to draw urine away from the body into a sealed collection canister, helping to keep skin dry. The external catheter (wick) is made of soft, flexible material and is absorbent, designed for 8-12 hours of use. The PureWick™ System was designed to provide women with a non-invasive option to manage their urinary incontinence. It is an innovative option to managing urinary incontinence and can reduce trips to the bathroom, which is a known cause of nighttime falls. Additionally, the PureWick™ System makes better sleep possible. The PureWick™ Female External Catheter has been available primarily for in-hospital treatment, but the PureWick™ System is available for use at home without sacrificing any of the functionality that over 2,000 hospitals and rehab facilities have relied on since 2016. The PureWick™ System is available for purchase online.
