THE PROBLEM

Current options are uncomfortable, stigmatizing, and clinically inadequate.

Pads, condom catheters, and indwelling catheters each carry real risks. The consequences are physical, emotional, and financial.

93,000

Catheter-associated UTIs

cases each year in acute care settings.

45.7%

Skin damage in hospitals

incidence of moisture-associated skin damage, rising to 89% in nursing homes.

Isolation

Depression and stigma

Many men withdraw socially rather than risk an accident in public.

Falls

Rushing to the bathroom

A leading cause of injury for older men managing urgency at night.

The solution

A one-piece external catheter with a clear design logic.

Every part of U-RO Bag™ exists to keep urine away from skin, stay comfortably in place, and let men get on with their day.

Form
Soft, pliable, single-piece external catheter. No suction unit.
Adhesive

Drain
