External Catheter or Condom Catheter is designed for men. External Catheters were developed to lower the risk of damage to the uretha caused by the insertion of the intermittent catheters. External catheters are worn like a condom. The external catheter is connected to the drainage bag that is strapped to the leg. There are several ways to affix the external male catheter and sizes to choose from. Condom catheters are intended for a single time use and normal usage is between 24 to 48 hours. At Home Medical offers External Catheters or Condom Catheters from Mentor, Bard, Coloplast, Rochester Medical, Hollister and other manufacturer's.
The Rochester Medical WideBand is the new standard for male external catheters. For the first time, adhesive is built into nearly the entire sheath wall. It has 70% more adhesive area than is found in the self-adhering styles developed in the 80's. Rochester Medical Corporation has patented this advanced manufacturing process, providing more security without requiring more aggressive adhesive. The distinctive design of the WideBand catheter involves more than just an extended length of adhesive area. WideBand is the only catheter with its adhesive placement beginning just behind the glans. This forward-placement of the adhesive is patented and provides two important features: 1) it helps prevent urine migration up the penis shaft, which results in premature catheter removal, and 2) it helps prevent urine build-up around the head of the penis, which results in catheter blow-off.
The Rochester Medical UltraFlex all-silicone self-adhering male external catheter is 100% latex-free and eliminates the risk of latex-related skin irritations. This breathable catheter promotes healthy skin and is soft for even greater patient comfort. Unlike latex catheters, the clear, see-through UltraFlex catheter permits a visual inspection of the skin without removing the catheter. The nonsensitizing adhesive provides a reliable bond to the skin for extra confidence and maximum wear time. A kink-proof funnel helps ensure uninterrupted urine flow.
The Pop-On External Catheter by Rochester Medical is an all-silicone self-adhesive male external catheter and is specially designed for the special needs of men.
