I just started doing in home care and the company did not train me at all. So i came to a client's house for the first time this morning and she uses this product because she is bed ridden. I had never heard or an external catheter let alone know how to change one. I instantly came to youtube and this is the first video that popped up (thankfully because it is very thorough). As a new care giver i find each client has unique needs and i am grateful that this video exists. I believe i can do this confidently even for my first time.
What was your patient and his/her family members reaction when you tell them you didn't know how to change the purewick?
My mom is 80 and was recently admitted into a local ER. The nurse suggested using this in lieu of a regular catheter or bed pan as they are so invasive and embarrassing for her. My mom was against it at first, but we convinced her to try it... She wished she heard of it years ago!! Thank you to whoever created the PureWick!
I'm a nurse of 35 years and this is such a great tool, but PLEASE nurses: educate your patient! I recently broke my pelvis and had MY turn as a patient- this product was a LIFESAVER for me, but the nurses and techs were not familiar enough to be comfortable with educating me, and as pain mgmt was my goal I really needed assistance. If I had the knowledge that this video shares, i would have been so much more comfortable!
They used this on me in the hospital and most of the nurses, but not all, knew what they were doing, I purchased one for my home as I'm recovering from hip replacement surgery. I did a trial run this afternoon and it went well. However, it didn't work well in the middle of the night. Just watched your video and now I know what I did wrong. So, thanks 😊.
Hello. I know this video is 3 or so years old. My mom was just released from the hospital on 11/8/23. She used this in the hospital unfortunately insurance companies don't cover it (hospital Dr. And her family Dr. tried) they said it was still fairly new. We paid for the kit closed to 700. Not including External Catheters. We paid 200. for a case of 30. I'm so glad I came across this video. It helped us so much...
I'm an international nurse and never encountered this type of external cath for female patients and I've only heard this from us nurses on social media therefore i got really curious how it looks like and how to use it. So i search it on RUclips. And thankfully there are tons of tutorials and your video is one of the best because you didn't only demonstrate it but you also discussed the indication and contraindications and other things.... thank you.
It gave me major problems because the latex in them
We got Purwicks mainstream at our hospital. Thank you for making this video!
Good to hear the reviews, especially that the Purewick can be washed!! Very expensive. I find that the blue covering needs to be more bendable to conform better. After being put on Lasix I desperately needed this type of system. The big problem that I have is that it does leak a lot so be warned about this. It is also a problem when you can't sleep well on your back Turning is a little hard to do. I also find that the suction needs to be just a little higher. How about inventing some type of pad that would be hooked to suction??
This is one of the BEST inventions ever! I used this recently when I was in the hospital. It worked great. It helped me a great deal with my bad hip. 👍
Do they have one for us with a penis? 🍆
@@Orlanzepol123 Yeah , it's called a bottle. 🐛
😅
The nurse should spread the inner labia and place the Pure Wick. The pure wick placement is 1/4 at the pelvic bone, the other 3/4 between the open labia. Close legs on the labia to prevent movement.
Her patient was overweight.😉
Excellent product, but it's too expensive for those who don't have insurance. Cost of replacing the wicks is astronomical.
I used this in the hospital and this was the best system ever fot this issue. I stayed dried and did not have to get out of bed at night.
Same. I had a 3-day hospital stay earlier this month and they had this as an alternative to a bed pan. I am non-weight bearing wheelchair user and didn't want to get a catheter. Most of the nurses knew how to place it properly so I didn't have any issues. It did feel a little drafty but otherwise so much better than me having to buzz a nurse every hour for assistance while on IV fluids.
It’s only used in hospitals?
@@giftedandblack494 No. You can get the system for home use from BD Purewick/Liberator Medical: www.purewickathome.com/how-to-get-purewick/?ReferralCategory=IP&i=1&invsrc=9190829735&campaignid=10022568465&adgroupid=101997904078&keyword=%2Bpurewick&trkid=V3ADW337141_101997904078_kwd-345743907751__434304596573_g_c__&atrkid=V3ADW69C87D08_101997904078_kwd-345743907751__434304596573_g_c___&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsveWo5S37AIVBInICh3BAw0lEAAYASAAEgJSEfD_BwE
I have been a patient with this twice after surgery and will be again. I recieved no instruction as far as what I should expect or do when I needed to pee. I literally wasn't comfortable just going because it of course felt like I would wet the bed. I can't find any guidance for the patient on purewick use anywhere. That would be very helpful for patients who aren't incontinent but immobile especially. Please create something to educate the patients on use of this.
I'm 63 and Ima just finding out about This. While I was in Hospital for revised Knee surgery, The Hospital informed Me, I like it. It work as they said.. Awesome product..
Once you finally have the courage to use this, it seriously is one of the coolest weirdest inventions.
I just had a major neck surgery last week, and it was the first time I'd seen or even heard of this device. COOLEST THING EVER. I was in a lot of pain the first 12 hours after my surgery, and even the *idea* of trying to get on a pedpan was excruciating. I was so grateful for such an easy, unobtrusive option. The nurses love it too; it's just pure genius. It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with a gadget.
It’s ridiculous that you did not address the normal tossing and turning that goes on with normal people.
I'm an ER nurse and I have a question. Why is it that whenever we talk about bodily excrements, everyone is a 6-year-old? For the life of me I cannot hold a straight face when we start talking about the nicknames for this device. I'm also very disappointed at the lack of references to those names in this comment section. Thank you for this helpful video.
Daughter: "Good morning Mom, how did you sleep?"
Mom: "Better."
Daughter: "Better?"
Mom: "Better get a towel, I crapped the bed."
I am on my second day of using the Purewick Female External Catheter for my relative and found that it does leak a little at the bottle of the Wick. Therefore, I have to use a pad each time to relieve some of wetness in the bed. Hopefully, I can learn to place the External Catheter a little better to relieve some of the leaking.
I am a CNA and I work at white pine Assistant living in fridley. And watch the video, it's very educational.
This video was helpful. Thank you for making this video.
So nice. I'm glad this exists. I don't want nothing going up there unless I'm having sex. I'm very sensitive. Traditional catheters HURT!
Thank you so much for posting this! We've been having trouble with the suction consistency with my grandma and it might be because of that little hole at the top being covered. We'll try that towel trick!
I can ONLY find the price for the catheters online. What is the price for the system? Why are they hiding the price on the damn website! OMG! I don't want to enter my info before learning the price.
That's what I'm looking for. Obviously the whole system is needed for people living in their own home. Where's the price??
You have to speak with a specialist in order to get the price for the purewick. I have NO idea why, but thats just the way they have it set up. When you call, you're going to get an answering service who will take your info (name, address, number, email) they will send you an info pack and can transfer you to a specialist. Your information is safe. If you don't wanna provide your info, just ask for the number to customer service which will then send you directly to a specialist.
It's $1000
@@true2this299 Holy Shit! No wonder they hide it.
I purchased one a year ago from liberator medical and paid just under 600.00. That included the dock and a month supply of the pure wick disposable catheter. It is a great device but a little pricey to maintain. I’d still highly recommend it though.
Great video! Most informative for us setting it up at home. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for posting. My elderly father needs this. Could it be modified to accommodate a male anatomy?
I had this twice when I was in the hospital and only one out of five nurses new how to place it and I was soaked all the time except for once. This in my opinion, that is the most useless contraption ever invented, I got no instruction s they didn't know how to place it and because I had a concussion and started feeling better I just left and went home and they can keep it.
I asked about this at my mom's skilled nursing facility--they used this at the hospital when she was there. She has a stage 4 bedsore due to being wet all the time. The SNF said these are never used in skilled nursing facility due to cost. really sad as it would have made a huge difference to her.
I just came out of a "home" after a year stay. We begged to even purhase our own Purewiick, but they kept saying no. The odd thing was that everyone who said no had a different reason. The people in that place did lie a lot. One of the last excuse was that a state regulation prohibited the Purewick use in long term care. (this is in Michigan) I'm out of there now and at my daughhter's home. I'm learning all the time about using it.
That breaks my heart! Facilities are so expensive, you expect better care for the amount of money you pay to have someone care for a loved one.
Had such high hopes for this for my mother. She is begin stage of dementia and a high fall risk. She is also on oxygen and changes her position during sleep at night while in bed. ugh! She would fall off of the bed trying to keep this in place during the night. there are a whole lot of elderly women who this would surely NOT be safe left alone with! When advertising this product you should be forwarning and clearly stating this!
Get a hospital bed and pull the rails up. Wearing underwear should help keep it in place.
@@kittylove9618 wow, seriously? i have been a nurse for 23 years. my mother has dementia and gets quite confused at night. She is up out of her bed often confused. she surely would attempt even more to climb out OVER the rails if the rails were up. again, because she gets confused esp as to where she is in the moment. this is not realistic at all. elderly patients when confused WILL CLIMB and sadly, often Fall.
this looks good but i think it’s creating UTI .
the lady that i know was using this and get UTI for using this and they stop it .
they used bed pad instead.
This is a wonderful device!
At ~$7 each three catheters per day would cost over $600/month. Can they be sanitized and reused? Or repacked with foam or gauze? I know the maker recommends against this but I wonder if it's practical.
What about rolling or turning over while sleeping?
A cna used this on me after my hysterectomy, the excruciating pain I felt there's no doubt that it was not done right..
We use this alot with patients at the hospital thank you so much for info
Watching as a care giver, great video 👏👏
Can I make this work if I seal it around my Penis head?
Can I make this work if I seal it around my Penis head?
There is something for men. It fits over the penis head. Google men's incontinence aids.
Don't use tape on any elderly patient and make sure that they don't have skin allergies to tape before applying.
I viewed the educational film on
RUclips. I feel this will be beneficial for my mom. I do intend to purchase one. Thanks so much for this information.

For at home
Is this like the one I've seen on television. My friend's mom, who is 103, lives at home with my friend, has some night time accidents, and I was telling him about this.
@randyontheradio, yes it's the same. The only difference, the at home version doesn't have adjustable suction. It's a bedside machine with an on/off switch. Your friend will need to purchase blue chux to place under his mom to catch the lil bit of leakage that occurs. It's minimal but still, who wants even a lil urine in their bed? Great product.
@@latonyalewis9610 Thank you so much for the reply on this. I will definitely let my friend know this would be a good fit for his mom. He does keep a pad on her mattress anyway, but thanks for that tip. His mom is getting pretty bad with dementia, so I hope she doesn't freak out on trying this. We never know from day to day. Thanks again!!
@@RandyOnTheRadio you're welcome. I purchased this in August when I got home from the hospital after my 1st hip replacement surgery. It was a godsend. Now I'm saving it for my 2nd surgery in November. Liberator medical supplies it. $200 for the catheters, $300 for the machine. They offer 10 month financing for the machine. Good luck to your friend.
@@latonyalewis9610 Thanks again, and best of luck with your surgery next month. (It just sucks to get older, don't it)? LOL Notice, that I did not say OLD. With each year that passes me by, I readjust my terminology on AGE. I wish you the best next month.
@@RandyOnTheRadio 😆 lol
Did You put inside the lips too keep in place ?? Nurses at Hospital and instructions said so. You just put against the lips.🤔
Omg the first time I was putting this together it drove me crazy that the space was at the bottom and I kept trying to pull it up closer
Can a non professional try this alone and what about restless sleeping ? I awaken five or more times a night and am interested in learning the down side if any an if there are any "trainers' available...
This requires the suction to work so as far as I know this is only available at hospitals/clinics. As far as restless nights, it was very comfortable to wear all night even though I woke and turned around every hour. As long as its placed correctly and secure it should be fine.
Hi! I just brought this system for my mom. Im not a nurse, i watched a video for reference on how to use it and she loves it. My mom is up all night and im asleep and this allows me to sleep without being disturb. Awesome system!!!
There are several videos on RUclips that demonstrate how to use. Also the supplier/seller can provide info. You can contact them for more details on the home system, and they can also send you a sample "wick" to get an idea of the contraption that is used between the legs. I read of a user who had a reaction/rash to the wick due to the material; however, I understand there's a 'latex free' version of PureWick on the market, which you can request. Also, there's a indicated weight range, and people who are underweight may have issues getting it to work. Additionally, it may not be suitable for confused patients, those at certain stages of dementia who might pull it out, etc. For more Q&A &/or to order: www.purewickathome.com/how-to-get-purewick/?ReferralCategory=IP&i=1&invsrc=9190829735&campaignid=10022568465&adgroupid=101997904078&keyword=%2Bpurewick&trkid=V3ADW337141_101997904078_kwd-345743907751__434304596573_g_c__&atrkid=V3ADW69C87D08_101997904078_kwd-345743907751__434304596573_g_c___&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsveWo5S37AIVBInICh3BAw0lEAAYASAAEgJSEfD_BwE

@@bluevegas4249 There is a model for home use that provides its own suction.
Can u re-use the catheter?
Hi can I ask if this can only be used when patients are lying down. Can it be used when they are seated
Yes. The product founder, Dr. Camille Newton, answers this in more detail in the 'comments'' section of this video: ruclips.net/video/xSOuvcShikw/видео.html
I’m using one in the hospital right now, and I’m sitting up.
I had one of these for a month while in the ICU and negitive pressure room due to covid. I was stuck in the bed was not able to move by my self how did they collect the poo? i remember the nurses coming in and cleaning me but i dont know what was used and i am currious? thank you
I stopped to see if this would work for camping... this will absolutely not work for camping.
Wait, so you have to be on yourr back all the time
I will have my first experience dealing with one of these tonight and I just don't get how it knows or who pulls the hose
My mom moves around a bit. Will it stay in place.

Thank you so much for this demo.
What I am worried about because I bought this system from my mother who is 81 years old. They use it on her in the hospital and that's why I bought it for her. But during this tutorial they said not to use a diaper or a pull-up vocally, they said this but it did not show this in the closed caption printing. This worries me. The studio is helpful because in the actual fuel with instructions they made it sound like you had the spread the lips of the urethra and that it would hold it in plate and that word me as I couldn't find my mother's urethra because she's a one yours old and used to be very heavy at one time and lost a lot of weight. However I'm going to give it another try and do exactly as this video hasn't started and hopefully I will have better luck and know that I have not license my money. I want my mother to be comfortable and confident.
Should a nurse be at home to help with this
???
I am 89years old and wonder if should even try to do this on my own.
I requested fed ex to deliver, then requested " return to sender I never did receive my payment back. Can you help me ?
If I had paid by my credit card, how would I receive my money back.
Do they suggest if the client has Alzheimer's but is Incognit
I just got this, for my mom she is 86 bed bond, she has lots of wounds and cracked on the bottom, I hope that I can be able to use it as easy as it sounds
I like information
What if the patien obese? Do u think it may raise pressure ulcer ?
It's $1,000 for the whole machine.
That’s crazy. You can buy one ebay for less than $200. and Medicaid covers it.
@@Orlanzepol123 Does medicaid really cover it? Where is this sold, medical supplies specialty stre?
@H&W Coach I believe you need a prescription from you doc first in order to get this. Or call Medicaid to ask how can you obtain this product. Also I search on eBay and they had one for $200.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
This video is really helpful. Thanks
Thank you
As an educational video, the demonstrator speaks too fast. No-no 👎
If placed right its great. If not its torture.after the first wrong placement the bed was soaking wet after tha its just torture Its not natural to just pee in bed so i hold it without intention being scared that its placed wrong. Asked all day ever nurse i could find to check and still did not work. So sad.
Of course it's not natural to pee in bed. This is for a person who can't get up in time to use the bathroom.
That was so helpful, thank you!
Very interesting and informative. Thank you!

Thanks guys watch this video and it is very helpful 👍 to me Thanks again..my name is Jennifer Brooks!
How often do you need to replace the catheter? I heard that they are washable. Is this true?
While using this Can patient sit down or only while laying down?
Yes. The product founder, Dr. Camille Newton, answers this in more detail in the 'comments'' section of this video: ruclips.net/video/xSOuvcShikw/видео.html
They didn't say if it disposable or not. I want one home for an old lady
Watch it again.
Hi can this system be used with the patient laid on their side or sat up in wheelchair?
The important part is to be sure that small hole isn't blocked by anything. From my experience, this worked fine while laying on my side but was uncomfortable to wear sitting up. That might depend on the size of the patient, I am a very low body weight.
Yes I would like to know I'm a side sleeper

Who else is here cuz of the commercials?? 🤣
Not me, I'm a user. Last year iI was briefly in the hospital and they used these.
What does it sound like?
The suction itself is a constant hum in the room that is just white noise. Once urine crosses over the filter wall the suction quickly picks it up and carries it to the collection container making a sound similar to the suction at a dentist office. And once the urine stream ends, it goes back to the subtle hum.
@@bluevegas4249 I went to visit my mother in the hospital today and she has this. It sounds like she was peeing. And you could hear it.
