Simple to apply. Simple to live with.
U-RO Bag™ is designed so a patient, a caregiver, or a nurse can apply it in minutes, without tools or a suction unit.
One piece.
Final instructions for use will be provided with the product. The steps below describe the intended process.
Prepare the skin
Clean and dry the area. No shaving or skin prep products are required.
Apply the adhesive panel
Position the opening and press the silicone gel panel gently against the skin. It bonds without pulling.
Connect the drain
Attach the outlet to a standard leg bag for daytime or a bedside bag at night.
Remove and reapply as needed
Peel away without residue. The adhesive can be reapplied, so a repositioning doesn't waste a device.
The four types of male urinary incontinence.
U-RO Bag™ collects urine externally regardless of cause, so it can support men across all four.
Stress
Leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting.
Urge
A sudden, strong urge followed by leakage.
Overflow
Incomplete emptying that leads to dribbling.
Functional
Mobility or cognitive barriers to reaching a bathroom in time.
Percentages reflect overlap; many men experience more than one type.
Designed around the problems other options create.
No catheter in the urethra
Indwelling catheters cause about 93,000 catheter-associated UTIs a year in acute care. U-RO Bag™ stays outside the body.
No wet skin
Pads hold moisture against skin, driving moisture-associated damage in 45.7% of hospital patients and 89% in nursing homes. The front vent keeps urine moving away.
No suction unit
Some external systems need an $875 pump. U-RO Bag™ drains by gravity into a standard bag, so it works at home, in a car, or in a wheelchair.
