BD PureWick™ External Catheters

BD PureWick™ External Catheters provide non-invasive urine output management for both male and female patients. BD describes the principle simply: using low pressure wall suction, the PureWick™ External Catheter wicks urine away from the patient and into a designated collection canister, helping to keep skin dry. Where wall suction is not available, BD offers the PureWick™ Urine Collection System to provide suction capability. BD positions the technology as an alternative to indwelling Foley catheterisation for appropriate patients, and lists patient situations where it may be suitable: patients who require urine output monitoring but do not meet indications for indwelling Foley catheterisation; urinary incontinence and/or frequent urination; skin irritation related to urinary incontinence or absorbent briefs; post-surgical or post-procedure immobility; bedrest orders; difficulty walking from bed or chair to the toilet; and difficulty using a bedpan. The challenges BD associates with the alternative approaches include skin irritation, disrupted sleep and night-time falls. For nursing and continence care teams, the practical interest is in reducing reliance on indwelling catheters for non-retentive incontinent patients while still recording output. Azmed Devices provides documentation, tender support and supply coordination for BD urology and continence care products in Azerbaijan. Detailed specifications and available configurations are available on request.
