Incontinence & Urological Products

Urinary catheters are generally necessary when someone can’t empty their bladder. If one’s bladder isn’t emptied, urine can build up and lead to pressure in the kidneys. The pressure can lead to kidney failure, which can be dangerous and result in permanent damage to the kidneys. Most catheters are necessary until you regain the ability to urinate on your own, which is usually a short period of time. Elderly people and those with a permanent injury or severe illness may need to use urinary catheters for a much longer time or permanently.

Our products include:

  • Catheters, leg bags and catheterization trays
  • Liners, undergarments, briefs, booster pads
  • Reusable and disposable under pads
  • Skin barrier creams and cleansers
  • Bed pans, Sitz baths, urinals

We carry manufacturers including:

Tena, Attends, Tranquility, AMG
