Abstract:
Urinary sheaths are a common solution to male urinary incontinence, but can be a source of much anxiety and discomfort if incorrectly fitted. This article discusses the process of assessment that must precede the prescription of a urinary sheath system. Assessment of bladder function and correct fitting and sizing are essential. The article also discusses the range of urinary sheath systems available, some of the problems that may arise in their use, and the processes of evaluation that should accompany use.
