How Does the PureWick™ System Work?
The PureWick system for women combines advanced technology with simplicity to improve urinary care. The system uses a pump to draw urine through collector tubing into a specialized collection canister. As a result, users experience dryness and reduced skin irritation.
Where Does the Urine Go?
The urine flows through the collector tubing directly into the collection canister, ensuring hygiene and convenience.
Canister Capacity
The PureWick™ collection canister holds up to 2000cc (mL) of urine. To prevent overflow, it should be emptied before it reaches 1800cc (mL) or as needed.
This thoughtful design prioritizes both cleanliness and ease of use.
