The condom catheter is a unique device that can empower many individuals to improve control over bodily fluids. It is ideal for those men who have no or little control over their bladder functions. This type of external catheter men can wear with relative ease. In wearing it, the individual is able to go about his or her daily life while not having to worry about embarrassing accidents. It works in various settings, including in the hospital, in home nursing care, in nursing facilities as well as for those who are caring for loved ones. For many people, it is an easy to use solution to otherwise uncontrollable male incontinence.

The device works much like a condom works. It is applied to the tip of the penis and unrolled over the top. It remains in place usually with clips at the base that attach to clothing or something else (such as a jockey strap style undergarment.) The device collects urine as it flows out of the penis. The urine runs from the condom like device down through a tube at the tip. That tube connects to a collection bag. The collection bag is often tied to the leg and can be placed under clothing. In other cases, it can hang off the bed or under the bed. This makes the condom catheter one of the best tools for managing the condition.

There are many reasons to use this particular type of catheter. Those include the following.

• The device is more convenient than using a traditional, internal catheter. It is also easier to manage as an exterior device.
• The device is relatively inexpensive as well. This makes it less expensive to purchase new ones as they become necessary. Tubing for an internal device is much more expensive.
• The condom catheter also works to keep the overall male incontinence under control. This leads to fewer accidents, reduce risk to health and fewer infections.

If your doctor says that you should use this product, then you should do so. The condom catheter can be very effective and easy to use as compared to other products. However, it is up to you to choose the solution that is right for your needs. Many men will find that this is the easiest way to overcome their overall health problems regarding incontinence. However, do follow your doctor’s advice on finding a treatment option for the condition.
