Male urination problemsWhy I had to invent the MUDS.  A mothers story.  My son broke the long bone in his leg in 2 places when he was 11 years old.  He was hospitalized for 8 days.

The first 2 days he spent in traction lying flat of his back.  Even minor position changes caused excruciating pain.  The first time we attempted to use a bedside urinal was a catastrophe.   The urinal could not be positioned at the appropriate angle and not pour urine back out onto the bed.  Turning to his side or sitting up was out of the question.  The only solution the nursing staff had was a condom catheter or letting him urinate into a diaper and then dispose of it.

His dignity and pride were shattered.  Between the pain, and his inability to perform his own toileting needs without assistance, he was angry and difficult.  This why I needed to invent the Male Urinary Drainage System.
