MÖLNDAL, Sweden—Wellspect HealthCare launched the Surity Male External Catheter, a non-invasive solution for men living with urinary incontinence. This follows the company's introduction of the Surity Female External Catheter earlier this year and precedes the launch of the Surity Urinary Management System.
"By expanding the Surity portfolio to include solutions for both men and women living with severe urinary incontinence, we aim to help address a clear gap in incontinence care," said Chris Schlenk, group vice president at Wellspect HealthCare. "Our goal is to offer solutions designed to support comfort, rest and confidence for people facing these challenges each day."
Severe urinary incontinence affects more than 13 million Americans and their caregivers, turning daily routines into ongoing challenges. The condition can profoundly disrupt daily life and is often associated with sleep disturbances, increased risk of falls, dehydration, skin breakdown and physical and emotional strain—for both patients and caregivers.
The Surity Male External Catheter is a new non-invasive solution for men affected by urinary incontinence, suitable for use with compatible urine collection systems. Developed with skin-friendly materials, it is suitable for up to 24 hours of wear and moves naturally with the body. Its features include a see-through design that supports easy placement and visual checks, a slim profile to reduce bulk and a soft, non-woven backing material designed to be gentle on the skin.
The company said the launch of the Surity Male External Catheter builds on the positive feedback received for the Surity Female External Catheter, shared by women living with severe urinary incontinence and their caregivers.
