How does External Catheter for Men work?

1. An external catheter is slipped onto a male user’s penis and secured using medical adhesive or an inflatable retention ring. Urine from the bladder flows out through the urethra, sheath, and into the attached leg urinary bag or bedside drainage bag.
2. External condom catheter systems are non-invasive and easy to use. Men prefer them with incontinence over intermittent catheters or indwelling catheters. Since the catheter is not inserted, urinary tract infections have fewer chances and reduced trauma.
3. Generally, the usage period is 12-48 hours, and most of these are disposable urinary sheaths. A pop-on male catheter is useful due to its clear sheath for easy inspection of the skin and monitoring skin health.
4. The male incontinence sheath is usually connected to a urine bag strapped to the leg, or an overnight urine bag hung by the bedside.

How to use Spirit Style 3 Hydrocolloid Sheath Male External Catheter?

• The sheath is a strapless sheath. It has an adhesive coating inside to ensure a safe and simple procedure for fitting.
• If necessary, trim the pubic area (close trim is best).
• Clean and dry pubic area (do not use soaps with lotions)(do not apply lotion).
• Remove the sheath from its wrapping.
• Place rolled end over the end of the shaft, leaving a small space between the end of the shaft and the cup of the sheath. If uncircumcised, do not retract the foreskin but allow it to remain over the glans. Avoid contact between the adhesive and the glans.
• Slowly unroll the sheath along the shaft, then gently squeeze the sheath to ensure even adhesion. Avoid leaving a rolled "collar" of the sheath around the base of the shaft.
• Finally, connect the urine collection bag. Always check that the connections are secure before use.
• Wear time will vary from user to user. It is recommended that a sheath be changed every 24 hours for reasons of hygiene.

Rochester Medical Male External Catheter Spirit Style 3 FAQ

What is an Spirit External Condom Catheter?

An external/condom catheter is designed to manage urinary problems due to incontinence or post-surgery. It is meant only for males and comprises a flexible sheath with tubing attached.

How often should an Condom Catheter be changed?

An external/condom catheter can be worn for up to 24 hours. It needs to be changed on a daily basis or every other day and should not be re-used. This helps avoid infections.

How do I know what size condom catheter I need?

Measure around the shaft of the penis and divide that number by 3.14 (pie) to get the diameter. The condom catheters are sized in millimeters and are based on the diameter of your penis, not the circumference.
