One of the most difficult things about being bedridden can often be the inability to urinate when you want to and the inability to actually get to a bathroom. A lot of bedridden individuals are set up with catheters, not because they don’t have control of their bladder, but because it is a whole lot easier to use these devices on a regular basis to prevent any problems with urination.

In many cases catheters are very demeaning and bedridden patients can feel down about having one of these that they have to use all the time. It can be a lot better to give these people a chance to use other devices for urination while they are in bed. Most bedridden men will still be able to use urine collection devices that can make it a lot easier to urinate at will.

These devices are ideal for those who are stuck in the hospital since they can gain some control of their lives again. This can be a really important step to healing for many people, so it is a good idea to provide options like this whenever possible. Patients tend to enjoy having control of at least this basic function as it makes them feel better about themselves.
