The PureWick™ Portable Collection System builds on the success of the PureWick™ Urine Collection System, the #1 external catheter used in hospitals. The non-invasive device uses gentle suction technology that draws voided urine away from the body through tubing that is connected to a collection canister for easy disposal and can be placed beside a bed or chair, or mounted on a wheelchair.

“Urinary incontinence is a common yet under-discussed condition that impacts 25 million Americans and can have profound effects on confidence, social engagement and quality of life, especially among those with mobility challenges,” said Mike Cusack, worldwide president of Urology and Critical Care at BD. “With the launch of the PureWick™ Portable Collection System, we have an opportunity to help people regain their confidence and independence by delivering a discreet, accessible solution that empowers individuals to participate more fully in everyday activities.”
