How does PrimaFit Work?

Primafit is an innovative external urine management system designed to provide a comfortable, non-invasive solution for female patients dealing with urinary incontinence or limited mobility. It helps to manage urinary output while reducing the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Primafit is placed externally against the perineal area, where it effectively absorbs and diverts urine into a collection device, keeping the patient dry and comfortable. This device is commonly used in hospitals and long-term care facilities, offering a safer and more hygienic alternative to indwelling catheters. Primafit’s design ensures a gentle fit, reducing skin irritation and the risk of infection, making it an excellent option for improving patient care and hygiene in clinical settings.
