My son was placed in a full length leg cast the third day in the hospital.  He continued to experience excruciating pain which prevented changes in position.

We discussed a condom catheter, but, they: 1) frequently cause irritating rashes and excoriation if the male is allergic to latex or even the adhesive 2) generally leak 3)  further degrade the person using them  4)  rarely stay in place.  So , we used the diaper to urinate into and then threw it away.

Day 4 or 5 my son was placed in a half body cast with a spica bar.  He continued to have pain, but did tolerate minor position changes.

MUDS GUY

The spica bar compounded the problem of using a urinal.  I spoke with all of the nursing staff and the Occupational Therapist concerning our problem.  No solution was found.  We searched medical catalogs and I went to every pharmacy in a 30 mile radius without any success in finding any male urinary devices that would meet my sons needs.  THIS JUST WOULD NOT DO!

Soooooo, I invented the male urinary drainage system
