MUDS setup instructions

The key to optimizing a MUDS is in the setup.  Males with tremors or just plain diffuculty using a male urinal will benefit from the MUDS.

Choose the appropriate place to attach the holder. Consider whether the user is left or right handed, which side would be most appropriate for safety, or give the most privacy. The holder seats over the bedrail. Wrap the Velcro strap around the holder. Select the appropriate length of tubing. In general, if the user is going to be lying in the bed, he will need the 3 ft. section. If he will be sitting on the side of the bed or sitting in a chair, the 2 ft section will probably be more appropriate. Remember that it is a gravity system and select the length of tubing that will provide the most direct drainage to the container ffor best results. The containers’ position can be adjusted also to promote drainage. Position for the most direct drainage without loops if possible. Remember to keep the tubing and the container out of the walk path to prevent tripping.      Connect one end of the selected tubing to the MUDS device and one end to the container. Place the device in the holder and the system is ready for use.
