Research Notes on Condom Catheters
A condom catheter is a rubber sheath that fits over the penis and is attached to a tube which leads to a bag for urine collection. It is often for short-term use because it may lead to urinary tract infection and damage to the penis due to friction. It is a useful and simple device to control and treat urinary incontinence in males.
