Benefits of Wearing CathWear Underwear

Traditional catheter leg bags with straps interfere with the ability to wear shorts, dresses, and skirts. For those who don't want their catheter to limit what they can wear, Cathwear is the answer. Cathwear's discreet and tasteful sports short design opens up more clothing choices, giving users a greater level of freedom. In addition, users can feel confident knowing the specialized garment will manage the catheter system so they don't have to. There are no adjustments needed during the day and no worry that the tube will pull or the bag will slip due to gravitational force or movement. Draining is also nonintrusive since the drain tubing exit point is at the knee for access without removing the garment.

Inadvertent catheter dislodgement occurs when you accidentally pull, trip, or step on the external collection bag or hose. Preventive measures are necessary as accidental dislodgement can damage the body, causing blood in the urine as well as urethral lacerations and disruptions that can lead to a urinary tract infection.¹ The Cath-Tract system incorporates features into the shorts design that prevent accidental self-extraction. The CathWear Leg Bag Holder and Catheter Stabilizer Underwear features a patented track that hides the tubing, with specific entry and exit points to accommodate four catheter types: foley, nephrostomy, suprapubic, and biliary. The track stabilizes the catheter without taping the tubing to the leg, adding peace of mind that the catheter won't be pulled out with movement. The hook-and-loop opening eliminates threading, making it easy to set up. This helps those with limited dexterity set up the catheter within the garment without help.

The sport short is made of high-quality cotton-polyester blend material. It's breathable, creating airflow and a natural buffer between the skin and the vinyl urine collection bag. This airflow reduces sweat points that cause irritation and skin breakdown, helping to keep the skin healthy.

Two spacious pockets are built-in into each side of the shorts, and each can hold a urine bag of up to 600 mL. They have an exit point for the valve, making emptying the bag convenient and uncomplicated. Users don't even have to remove the garment to drain! This superior pocket system is always within reach and also reduces both the noise and bulk of traditional leg bags. 

The sports short design creates a more modern and utilitarian look instead of that of a medically necessary undergarment. Both sexes can wear this style comfortably and confidently. The stretchy material works especially well with the curves of the female anatomy. CathWear is available in five sizes and three highly versatile colors. The sports short style is available in neutral color choices of black, white, and nude to ensure it's discreet no matter what clothing colors you wear.

CathWear was invented to uncomplicate life for those who manage urinary incontinence with an indwelling catheter. Whether you need a system that adequately hides the tubing and external collection bag or you want to prevent catheter dislodgement, this catheter-stabilizing underwear does it all. With three color choices and a sporty biker short look, CathWear is both stylish and extremely functional. It's worn as regular underwear and is cleaned the same way: just toss it in the wash! This is a far cry from the workload of strapping on a leg bag and taping the tubing to the thigh. Don't let your catheter manage you – let CathWear do the work of managing your catheter system for a new lease on life!
