About CathPack
WHY YOU NEED THIS:
>> Incredibly easy to use
>> Wheelchair user independence
>> Decreased risk of bladder infection
>> Decreased risk of bladder injury
>> Increased dignity and privacy
>> Decreased fall risk
If you (or someone you know) has a urinary catheter and uses a wheelchair, you need this.
Your problem: There's no where to place the catheter, whether you're just sitting in your wheelchair at dinner, or you're propelling from room to room. You place it on your lap for the short ride, however this places you at risk for a bladder infection because it's above the bladder. You hang it on the cross bars under the wheelchair, but then it drags on the floor, picking up all different types of bacteria and risking sepsis or a UTI. You hang it on the side of the wheelchair, but it's exposed to more bacteria and is embarrassing. You get one of those bags that hangs behind the wheelchair, but it's so difficult to get the urinary catheter bag in and out of that you don't even end up using it-- it makes the wheelchair user totally dependent and unable to transfer from the chair without someone else's help to remove it.
Your Solution: This Patent Pending bag hangs in front of the wheelchair, directly below the seat at an angle. The slippery inner lining of the bag allows the urinary catheter bag to easily slide in and out of it, and the easy to reach location not only makes it easier for a caretaker to manage, but also allows the wheelchair user to have more independence. If a wheelchair user forgets to obtain their urinary catheter bag before walking or transferring out of the wheelchair, the urinary catheter bag will easily slide out of the bag and come with the user, preventing risk of a "traumatic removal of a urinary catheter", which can have irreversible damage to the bladder. Risk of infection is dramatically decreased, dignity is dramatically increased, and frustration regarding what to do with the urinary catheter bag is gone! This bag also comes with a magnet to close for privacy (weak enough to come undone with minimal tension).
This bag is machine washable, no special care required. Just place in your washing machine with other items and voila!!
