What is Condom Drainage
Condom drainage is an external urinary drainage system for men who are experiencing urinary incontinence.
It is a 2-piece system that requires a condom catheter (sheath) and a drainage bag to collect and drain urine.
What is a condom catheter?
A latex, silicone or sheath that is placed over the penis and attached to a tube. Urine drains through the tube and into a drainage bag. A condom catheter drains urine without putting a catheter into the bladder through the penis.
As a major supplier of healthcare products, Independence Australia sells a range of condom drainage products.
How do I choose the right product?
