Product Description: 

The PureWick Urine Collection System was designed to provide women with a non-invasive option to manage urinary incontinence. The PureWick Urine Collection System contains the suction pump, 2000cc collection canister with lid, pump tubing, collector tubing with elbow connector, two privacy covers and a power cord. This device needs to be plugged in at all times, as it does not contain a battery. This system is small, at 9” x 6.5” x 11” and able to fit on most nightstands and small tables. The PureWick System is also quiet enough to not disturb the user’s sleep. This non-invasive device works outside of the body to draw and wick urine away. The external catheter (sold separately) is made of soft, flexible material and the absorbent wick is designed for 8-12 hours of use. The user may be lying down or seated in a reclined position. The canister is a sealed collection canister, and this system is easy to setup and clean.
