The PureWick™ Portable Collection System is designed to be used on the go, giving you more flexibility to leave home.

One way you can use the PureWick™ Portable System is on the back of your wheelchair. While the System works with most wheelchairs, it’s important to ensure your wheelchair is compatible.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Can I use the PureWick™ Portable Collection System with a walker?
A. No. The PureWick™ Portable Collection System must be used while in a stationary position.
Q. Will the PureWick™ Portable Collection System be visible on my wheelchair?
A. The PureWick™ Portable Collection System’s Carry Bag keeps the system concealed whether it is discreetly hung on your wheelchair or carried around in a bag.
Q. What type of clothing can I wear with the PureWick™ Portable Collection System with a wheelchair?
A. Wearing clothing with two pieces (such as a top and bottom) rather than one (such as a dress or bodysuit) may provide more comfort and may help conceal the tubing. Be sure not to wear anything that blocks the vent hole on the PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter. On the Male External Catheter, avoid clothing that doesn’t allow airflow through the device or blocks the vents (such as tight clothing or briefs).
