Taking your BD PureWick™ Portable Collection System on the go
Designed to be used on the go, the PureWick™ Portable Collection System gives you the freedom to live your life and the peace of mind to do the things you love.
Your PureWick™ Portable System goes where you go and can be used on a wheelchair or discreetly carried in a bag. Read on for a closer look at how you can take your PureWick™ Portable Collection System on the go.
- 1. If using hand bars, setup the PureWick™ Portable Collection System, following the instructions included with your system, then place the system into the Carry Bag. If using a wheelchair with a push bar, hang the Carry Bag before placing the system inside.
- 2. Close the Carry Bag.
- 3. Use the blue hanging loops to hang the Carry Bag onto the wheelchair hand grips or push bar.
- a. Hand Grips: Push the hanging loops onto the wheelchair hang grips as far as possible to prevent the Carry Bag from falling off.
- b. Push Bar: Unbuckle each hanging loop, then wrap around the push bar. Buckle the loops, making sure you hear the buckle click before putting the system in the bag.
- 4. Adjust the hanging loops to the length you prefer.
- 5. The collector tubing is long enough to comfortably reach the user. If you have excess collector tubing after connecting the system, coil and store it in the side pocket of the Carry Bag after the user is situated in the wheelchair.
*Carry Bag is sold separately, or included with the PureWick™ Portable System Starter Set

For women
For menThis video will show you how to attach your system to a wheelchair
Carry strap
The System has a carry strap for portability and designed for secure carrying.
Carry Bag
The Carry Bag keeps the System concealed and allows you to discreetly carry and transport your system.
When not hanging on the wheelchair, you can carry your system in the Carry Bag using the shoulder strap or the carry handles.
In a vehicle
The PureWick™ Portable Collection System should always be upright and level for proper function. If you’re using the system in a vehicle, make sure it is secured and will not tip over. (You should not use the System while driving a vehicle.)
Remember, the tilt indicator will warn you via light and sound if the System is placed on its side or tilted too much.
Traveling by air
It’s important to note that the PureWick™ Portable Collection System contains a lithium-ion battery, which is considered a hazardous material. Transporting it is governed by federal and local laws.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, devices with lithium-ion batteries should be kept in carry-on baggage. If checked, they should be turned completely off and packed in a way that protects them from accidental activation or damage. The FAA’s PackSafe site can provide more guidance.
