WideBand Male External Catheters

WideBand Male External Catheters are the new standard for male external catheters. For the first time, adhesive is built into nearly the entire sheath wall. It has 70% more adhesive area than is found in the self-adhering styles developed in the 80's. Rochester Medical Corporation has patented this advanced manufacturing process, providing more security without requiring more aggressive adhesive.

The distinctive design of the Wide Band catheter involves more than just an extended length of adhesive area. WideBand is the only catheter with its adhesive placement beginning just behind the glans. This forward-placement of the adhesive is patented and provides two important features:

• Helps prevent urine migration up the penis shaft, which results in premature removal
• Helps prevent urine build-up around the head of the penis, which results in catheter blow-off.

The Wide Band's unique features - 100% silicone construction, expanded adhesive area, and patented adhesive placement - combine to make it the New Standard in Self-Adhering Male External Catheters.

• Expanded adhesive area protecting against unexpected, or premature need to change the catheter
• Patented, forward-placement of adhesive to prevent urine migration and build-up
• Hypoallergenic, nonsensitizing adhesive built into catheter sheath
• Silicone that, unlike latex, is odorless and has superior breathability properties
• Clear sheath allowing for ease of inspection and enhanced skin integrity
• Kink-resistant design to ensure continuous urine flow
• An advanced, soft, silicone material to help reduce frictional irritation and maximize comfort

Health care professionals need medical devices they can count on. They expect male external catheters to remain in place, to make skin care easier, and to ensure patient comfort.

Suppliers can recommend the Wide Band to their customers with confidence, knowing that it provides increased security in a product made with the latest technology.

Those who wear the Wide Band can appreciate the security provided by a larger adhesive area, plus the safety and comfort of clear, breathable silicone.

Security: An extra wide adhesive area provides added reliability, so the catheter stays in place.

Safety: Breathable, clear silicone promotes healthy skin and complements good skin care.

Comfort: Soft, conforming silicone makes it easy to wear, even during the most active days.
