PureWick Female External Catheter Features

  • Ability to consistently capture and take away 95% or more of urine without entering or attaching to the body
  • Help facilitate early indwelling catheter removal and may thereby help reduce the risk of catheter associated UTI
  • Works while lying on her back, her side or seated
  • Glue, tape and straps are not needed
  • Urine is not stored close to the body

How PureWick Female External Catheter Works?

PureWick Female External Catheter is positioned against the area where urine exits the body. A low pressure vacuum pulls urine through the properly positioned PureWick Female External Catheter. Urine continues through vinyl tubing until it reaches the storage container, away from the body. Wicks are positioned between the labia and gluteus muscles, but do not enter the vagina.

Use in 3 Simple Steps

  1. Position PureWick Female External Catheter comfortably between the labia and gluteus.
  2. Attach PureWick Female External Catheter to vacuum source tubing and set hospital wall vacuum or connect to DryDoc Vacuum Station.
  3. Replace PureWick Female External Catheter at least once every 8-12 hours and when soiled.

    Works great

    At first took some practice to get the right position for it to work properly. They are very over priced. They said they can't be reused how ever they can. You can take them apart wash them in very hot soup and water then use a desinfectan and put them back together.

  2. Question: How is urine drawn from body by using PureWick? Seems there should be some type of suction system. Is that included with the product you sell?

    Asked by Kittypatpaint on May 21, 2023
    • Answer: The catheter comprises of a plastic sheath that houses a hydrophilic wicking material with a suction tubing on top. The wicking material is aligned with the urethral opening by parting the labia, and allows urine to gradually get diverted through the tubing using a low-pressure suction.
