The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter—based on the breakthrough original PureWick™ Female External Catheter—has new features designed to help you manage your urinary incontinence from home.
Like our original PureWick™ Female External Catheter, the PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter uses suction and a soft, flexible wick to draw voided urine away from the body and into a collection canister.
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter sits outside the body, where it is held in place by the anatomy. When the user urinates, the PureWick™ Urine Collection System uses suction to pull the voided urine through tubing and into the connected collection canister.
Flexible
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter’s flexible frame is designed to contour to the user’s anatomy and maintain its shape.1
Multi-layer technology
The multi-layer wick keeps the skin feeling dry.
Soft, absorbent fabric
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter features soft, absorbent fabric designed to address user comfort.
Bendable tubing fits with various body types
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter is designed to accommodate a range of body types.
Comfortable fit that stays in place
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter is designed to fit around the contours of your body for a comfortable fit that stays in place.
Helps protect the skin
Incontinence-associated dermatitis can occur when skin is in contact with urine for a prolonged period of time, leading to irritation.
The multi-layer PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter is designed to help keep the skin dry and protect the skin by drawing away voided urine.
Can be used in multiple positions
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter captures voided urine whether you are seated, reclined, or laying down.
Stay in bed
Studies have shown that frequently getting up at night to use the bathroom can lead to an increased risk of falls in older adults—and falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in people over 65.
The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter was designed to allow women with urinary incontinence to stay in bed, helping to reduce nighttime bathroom use, which has been associated with a risk of falls.
