AB  - Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) 
are common hospital-acquired infections and remain 
a significant medical and financial challenge to the 
healthcare system. Despite this risk, incontinent women may require prolonged catheterization to accurately 
monitor urine output and prevent skin breakdown. 
The PureWick Female External Urinary Catheter is a 
promising non-invasive urine collection system for use in 
incontinent women that may help reduce CAUTI rates, 
maintain skin integrity, accurately quantify urine output, 
and avoid extra healthcare costs.
