How it works

The PureWick™ Flex Female External Catheter is a soft, flexible wick that sits outside the body, where it is held in place by the anatomy for most users.

When the user urinates, the PureWick™ Urine Collection System pulls the voided urine through tubing and into the connected collection canister.

Compatible with both the PureWick™ Urine Collection System and PureWick™ Portable Collection System, the PureWick™ Flex can be used both at home and on the go.
