Pardon the common language, but I don't know the medical terms...... In our
case, the patient is using Depends, which work like they should, but they
still allow the fluid to get all over the place and many times leaks on the
bed, etc. Lots of work cleaning up.
I'm wondering why not go right to the source -- is there some kind of strong
plastic bag with a "condom-like" device that can be worn. That would carry
the fluid away from the body and the patient could sleep all night and
change in the morning. And if there was some kind of one-way check valve in
the device, then even if it came off, it wouldn't leak that much.
Anyone seen something like this?
