The purpose of "The Cathwear Garment" is to stabilize the catheter hose/tube at the urethra or at the point of insertion, therefore greatly reducing or eliminating meatal stenosis, UTI, and other infections. The urethral meatus is the external orifice of the urethra, from which urine is ejected. This site is where irritation is at its worst for catheter users/wearers.
Here is what happens. When a catheter is inserted, it is a foreign object rubbing against a very sensitive area of the body causing redness, abrasions and even open sores and when urine is introduced to these affected areas the catheter user is going to experience infections. By stabilizing the movement of the catheter you will reduce the irritation.
"The Cathwear Garment" is a full piece lower abdomen and extremity compression garment (8-15mm/Hg) that will increase circulation in the lower extremities therefore providing improved healing time.
Cathwear is also very comfortable underneath your regular clothes, allowing you to wear virtually anything without having to worry about concealing your catheter leg bag.
You can once again wear shorts and skirts without the concerns of revealing your private and personal conditions.
Additionally, "The Cathwear Garment" can also be used if you or a loved one is confined or bed bound.
