Frequency can be embarrassing and cause decreased activity and participation in living.   If you are taking a diuretic or “water pill” , you don’t have to avoid traveling or skip your medication because you will be in the car for an extended period.

There are not always restrooms available and sometimes, by the time you get to one, you are in dire straights.  Or, you get stuck in traffic and can’t get to a restroom.  A bottle should be the last resort.  And who wants to wear a diaper or a condom catheter.

Try taking a MUDS (Male Urinary Drainage System) along.  It is convenient to utilize in the car and can be emptied at your convenience.

What makes the MUDS a spill proof urinal men?

The shape and slope of the MUDS unit is designed to assist in appropriate angle during use to promote drainage of urine.  The urine does not stay in the main unit, but drains into a container which will hold up to 2500ml of urine.

The back-flow system, along with the fact that the urine doesn’t stay in the receiving unit, reduces risk of spills, urine in the bed, carpet, or on the floor.  Urine spilled on beds and carpet promote an unsanitary environment due to difficulty and time consuming clean up.  Urine spilled on a solid floor surface is a tremendous fall risk for everyone in the household.

Decreased spills means:  decreased laundering of linens and pajamas, less time changing linens and cleaning up spills, eliminates odors from spilled urine, promotion of hygiene and cleanliness, decreased risk of a fall, and decreased risk of spreading germs.  It also eases caregiver strain.

You are in control!

“I recommend the urinal device to any one who has to go frequently. This device is great during traffic, long road trips and for little boys who can’t hold it. Peeople in the hospital, wheel chairs, and anyone who is handicap. This container keeps the urine sealed tight until you properly can dispose of it. This device has a flexible hose to dispose of the urine easy and mess free. Compared to the urinal cup this device is easy, flexible and convenient to use.”

My Dad was on a short trip and got stuck in Dallas traffic. He takes a “water pill” and when the urge calls, he has to go—–right now.  He had to resort to using a plastic grocery bag and hope that it wouldn’t leak.
My father-in-law also takes “water pills”and has breathing difficulties. He tires easily and at times is very shaky–his hands from his medications to help him breathe, and his legs when he is feeling tired. He has to get up in the night to urinate and has almost fallen on multiple occasions.

This is just a hint of the males out there who need the MUDS as an alternative to a male urinal to help keep them from falling, promote sanitation, aide in preventing unnecessary catheterizations, and the reason I invented the MUDS in the first place, to promote their self-esteem and preserve their dignity.

MUDS GUY

As a mother, there is nothing in this world that hurts more than when your child is hurting. My son suffered a terrible accident that resulted in a 3/4 body cast for over 8 weeks. I am fortunate and blessed that I had the knowledge and ability to help him during his recovery. My son was devastated to find himself using a diaper or depending on Mom, NaNa, Aunt Kathy, or his sister to aide with his toileting needs. So, I began developing what I now call, the MUDS. it was a lot of trial and error, but the system worked. My son was completely independent of urination with the exception of needing someone to empty the container. The MUDS became like my purse, we took it everywhere we went. My son was able to use the device in the Doctors office, public restroom, and even in the car. When he was out of the cast, he continued to use the MUDS, especially at night, until he no longer needed crutches.

What makes the MUDS or Male Urinary Drainage System the perfect urinal for a male with limited vision?

During the design process, the inventor took into consideration numerous handicaps.  Decreased or limited vision makes it difficult to use a urinal.  Placement or the urinal can be managed, but,  the problem occurs with the attempt to place the urinal with urine in it onto a surface after use.  It causes frequent spills. 

The Male Urinary Drainage System, or MUDS, has two features that solves this problem.  One, the urine doesn’t stay in the urinating device, it drains into a container which will hold 2500ml.  This solves the spilling problem when attempting to place the urinal on a surface after use.  Two, the MUDS device has orientation ridges which allow the user to place the device appropriately.

This is one of the many features that makes the MUDS truly a spill proof urinal  for males with visual defecits.

Male urinals.   They are simple to use if you don’t have tremors, have use of BOTH hands, don’t mind them sitting on your bedside table (that you put your drink on), have great vision, don’t have any gut, and/or don’t mind if it spills and soaks into your bed or carpet stinking up your house.

A MUDS

You are in control!

or Male Urinary Drainage System on the other hand, is easy to use even if you have handicaps or deficits that make using a standard urinal less than optimal if not impossible.   It has a great spill deterrent (nothing is spill proof if you try hard enough), and is designed so that it doesn’t matter if you can see what you are doing or not.

The MUDS promotes increased independence for males who have traditionally had difficulty with a urinal.  It is a safety intervention when used appropriately to reduce the risk of falls related to nighttime frequency or urgency, shortness of breath, difficulty walking, weakness, or inability to walk alone.

Problem #1 – a bedside urinal for men requires that a man have enough length to point his penis into the urinal.  As men age, pubic fat frequently envelops the penis and causes less available length to point into a urinal.

You are in control!

Problem #2 – he also has to maintain the appropriate angle of the urinal to prevent urine from spilling back onto him. This is very difficult, especially if the man has any sort or restrictive appliance or cast.  Urine will not run up hill and if the appropriate angle is not maintained – there goes the urine all over the man and any surrounding area.

Problem #3 – a moderate amount of dexterity is required and the use of both hands is almost a necessity.  Males who have lost one arm or have had a stroke are especially challenged.  Men with tremors are generally stable with their arm or hand against their body, but as soon as they move their arm away holding the urinal the tremors resume and making it difficult to place the filled urinal onto a surface without spilling it.

These are just 3 of the problems associated with using a male urinal and there are often limited to no solution to the problem.   The answer is in the type of male urinal utilized.  Try a Male Urinary Drainage System as a great alternative.

You are in control!

The MUDS has three primary features that work together to prevent spilling of urine and make it a spill proof urinal.

The primary feature is that urine does not stay in the MUDS receptacle.  It drains in the container that holds up to 2500ml of urine.

The second feature is the design of the receptacle itself in that it is a chamber within a chamber.  It works similar to a liquid laundry detergent cap by preventing the urine from flowing back out of the container once the urine is in it.

The third feature is the “drip lip” which prevents dribbles of urine from spilling back on to the male during or after use.

If you need a spill proof alternative to a male urinal, try a MUDS

M.U.D.S.,L.L.C. was started in 2004 as a L.L.C. with the intent of developing and producing the MUDS system. Jacquelin Vantroostenberghe is a Registered Nurse and the inventor and owner of the MUDS patent. Her son sustained an injury which resulted in a fracture requiring a body cast. He was unable to urinate into a traditional male urinal due to the restrictions of the cast and being flat of his back. He was in pain with any movement and embarrassed that he had to have help with urinating.

It was impossible to place a urinal at the right angle without urine pouring back onto him. Jacque and the occupational therapists searched catalogs, medical supply stores and pharmacies without any success finding a alternative. His only alternative at that time was to urinate into a diaper or use a condom catheter –   not an option.

And so, that is what inspired the development of the MUDS. Jacques’ son used a crude version with great success and was independent with all of his urination needs with the exception of needing someone to empty the container.

The Traditional male urinal.

MUDS GUY

  Not much to it, right?  You just urinate into it and then, what?  Well, let’s see, most men set it on the bedside table or the floor.

If you set it on the bedside table, do you have your glass of water setting by it?  Do you set your snacks or maybe even your teeth or toothbrush on the same table?  When you use a urinal, urine and bodily excrement from the groin area is transferred to the outside of the urinal.  Then you set it on your table?  Where you put your food and drink?  Yuk.  But, what else are you supposed to do?

If you set the urinal on the floor, how many times has it been kicked over or spilled accidentally?

I have the solution for you.  A MUDS unit has a holder that can be attached to a bedrail, chairrail, or even to a bedside nightstand that you do not set your food or drink on.

Comment from a male urinal user in reference to the Male Urinary Drainage System:

You are in control!

I’m a “victim” of the common urinal used in hospitals…I was flat on my back after surgery and spilled every where.  I asked them “what would the president use?”  “one of these, or a catheter”, was the response.

I would’ve gladly paid $40 for your solution to not suffer the indignity.  I’m an engineer and thought to invent a solution as well; didn’t know about yours at the time.  Even got one moving.  However, my investigation into the matter showed that the hospital put more like a $0.40 price tag on my dignity!  I’m sure you already knew that…

Who needs a MUDS?

The Male Urinary Drainage System or MUDS is designed for handicapped males or males who have difficulty using a urinal, or just need an alternative to a male urinal.

However, Pilots, Truck drivers, Hunters, and Campers are  also candidates for a MUDS.  The days of urinating behind a bush are about gone, unless you are way-way out in the boonies and sure that no one can see you.  I’m sure that an indecent exposure ticket is not on anyone’s agenda.  With a MUDS you can urinate in the privacy of your vehicle, in a private plane, or in a tent.  It could be used in a Male urination problems.  The urine is contained in a sealed container for transport to an appropriate place to dispose of the urine (of course not in the vicinity of your Male urination problems).

Try a MUDS to meet your needs for a portable urinal.

There are many reasons that caregivers might place a continent male in a diaper.  Usually, it is because they can not use a male urinal without spilling it. 

When we put a diaper on a man or boy, it can lead to depression, decreased self esteem, and decreased participation in their care and activities of daily living, just to name a few.  It is embarrassing and humiliating whether young or old and in older men progressively leads to lack of interest in their hygiene and appearance.

A diaper should be used only for men who are incontinent (unable to control their urine flow), not for convenience or hygiene.  Diapers cause diaper rashes, and can lead to ulcers or sores as a result of the constant moisture exposed to the skin.  They require that a caregiver thoroughly clean the entire area covered by the diaper in order to remove any urine from the skin to prevent rashes, sores, and odors.  This is very time consuming and labor intensive.

If you are at the end of your rope and need an alternative to a urinal, try a MUDS or Male Urinary Drainage System before you place your loved one in a diaper.

It is a spill proof urinal that has been designed for men with handicaps or difficulty using a urinal.

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

How does the Male Urinary Drainage System, or MUDS,  prevent spills?

The MUDS allows the urine to drain almost immediately into the container.  You can’t spill urine that is not stored in the receptacle that receives the urine.

Can you imagine how frustrating and depressing it must be to have a diaper put on you even though you  know when you need to urinate.  All because you have a temporary inability to use a Male urination problemswithout pouring it back onto yourself and making a big mess.

My friends’ Dad had surgery on both of his knees.  He was unable to get out of bed by himself because everyone was afraid he would fall.  Frequently, it was just too much trouble, and time consuming, to get him out of bed just to urinate.  He received therapy with a machine that bent his knees and then straightened them kind of like riding a bicycle.  The therapy would last for several hours.  After a few attempts at using a urinal, with the only success being that the urine spilled back onto him, the nursing staff placed him in diapers.

He was so embarrassed and frustrated.  One of the last shreds of dignity for an aging man, and even that was taken away from him.  He participated poorly in all of his care and lost the will to get better.  My friend asked if I could help.  Her Dad successfully used a Male Urinary Drainage System and was out of diapers for the remainder of his stay in rehab.  He began participating in the recovery process and she stated that his whole attitude was much improved.

Try a MUDS.  You are in control!

The Doctor anticipated 8-10 weeks in a body cast.  I began to utilize tubing, bottles, and other strange supplies in an attempt to develop a system that would work.  I finally came up with a solution.  My very crude, homemade Male urination problemsworked.

We had a few small leaks due to my inability to make a sealed system, but after the first time I showed my son how to use the device, he was able to urinate by himself.  Without Mom, Dad, or Nana disposing of his diaper.  Although he was still cranky and difficult, it was not compounded by his embarrassment over the bodily function of urinating.Male urination problems

My son successfully used myMale urination problemsfor the next 16-18 weeks.  At home he was able to urinate in the middle of the night or day without depending on anyone to help him.  We took him to the Doctors office in his reclining wheelchair.  He could push himself into the bathroom, take his device out of the bag, and urinate directly into the toilet.

Male frequent urination sets up the environment for an increased risk of falls.  When hurriedly trying to get to the bathroom to urinate, the risk increases.

It is important to encourage elderly males to ambulate, but hurried bathroom trips are not the appropriate encouragement to get up out of the chair.  It increases the risk of falls and causes anxiety.

Safe alternatives for urination should be provided and ambulation should be encouraged when the male is not being rushed or hurried in order to enhance the activity and discourage a fall.

A urinal is easily spilled, holds only 1000ml full (if you can fill it without spilling it), is placed on the floor or eating surface after use (yuck), is difficult to maintain accurate measurement of output, is difficult to impossible to use for some men, requires frequent linen changes and clean up if spilled, and increase the risk of falls from slipping in spilled urine.

The MUDS eliminates or reduces spills, holds 2500ml (enough for all day for most men), can be hung on a bed rail or chair with versatile holder, aids in the measurement of accurate output, easy to use unaided in virtually any position, decreases need for linen changes, and decreases the risk of falls.

We discussed a Male urination problems, 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.

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 urination problemsthat would meet my sons needs.  THIS JUST WOULD NOT DO!

Soooooo, I invented the Male urination problems

How does the Male Urinary Drainage System, or MUDS,  prevent spills?

The MUDS has multiple spill preventative features.  One, is that the urine doesn’t stay in the urine receiving unit, it drains into a container which holds up to 2500ml of urine.  The large corrugated tubing prevents kinks and allows the urine to drain almost immediately into the container.  You can’t spill urine that is not stored in the receptacle that receives the urine.

If you are looking for a spill proof male urinal, try a MUDS!  You are in control!

Can you imagine how frustrating and depressing it must be to have a diaper put on you even though you  know when you need to urinate.  All because you have a temporary inability to use a Male urination problemswithout pouring it back onto yourself and making a big mess.

My friends’ Dad had surgery on both of his knees.  He was unable to get out of bed by himself because everyone was afraid he would fall.  Frequently, it was just too much trouble, and time consuming, to get him out of bed just to urinate.  He received therapy with a machine that bent his knees and then straightened them kind of like riding a bicycle.  The therapy would last for several hours.  After a few attempts at using a urinal, with the only success being that the urine spilled back onto him, the nursing staff placed him in diapers.

He was so embarrassed and frustrated.  One of the last shreds of dignity for an aging man, and even that was taken away from him.  He participated poorly in all of his care and lost the will to get better.  My friend asked if I could help.  Her Dad successfully used a Male Urinary Drainage System and was out of diapers for the remainder of his stay in rehab.  He began participating in the recovery process and she stated that his whole attitude was much improved.

Try a MUDS.  You are in control!

The Doctor anticipated 8-10 weeks in a body cast.  I began to utilize tubing, bottles, and other strange supplies in an attempt to develop a system that would work.  I finally came up with a solution.  My very crude, homemade urinary drainage system worked.

We had a few small leaks due to my inability to make a sealed system, but after the first time I showed my son how to use the device, he was able to urinate by himself.  Without Mom, Dad, or Nana disposing of his diaper.  Although he was still cranky and difficult, it was not compounded by his embarrassment over the bodily function of urinating.

My son successfully used my Male urination problemsfor the next 16-18 weeks.  At home he was able to urinate in the middle of the night or day without depending on anyone to help him.  We took him to the Doctors office in his reclining wheelchair.  He could push himself into the bathroom, take his device out of the bag, and urinate directly into the toilet.

AND SO, MY INVENTION BEGAN

You are in control!

The MUDS has three primary features that work together to prevent spilling of urine and make it a spill proof male urinal.

The primary feature is that urine does not stay in the MUDS receptacle.  It drains in the container that holds up to 2500ml of urine.

The second feature is the design of the receptacle itself in that it is a chamber within a chamber.  It works similar to a liquid laundry detergent cap by preventing the urine from flowing back out of the container once the urine is in it.

The third feature is the “drip lip” which prevents dribbles of urine from spilling back on to the male during or after use.

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. Male urination problems

Comment from a male urinal user in reference to the Male Urinary Drainage System:

I’m a “victim” of the common urinal used in hospitals…I was flat on my back after surgery and spilled every where.  I asked them “what would the president use?”  “one of these, or a catheter”, was the response.

I would’ve gladly paid $40 for your solution to not suffer the indignity.  I’m an engineer and thought to invent a solution as well; didn’t know about yours at the time.  Even got one moving.  However, my investigation into the matter showed that the hospital put more like a $0.40 price tag on my dignity!  I’m sure you already knew that…

Thanks,

Steve

Who needs a MUDS?

The Male Urinary Drainage System or MUDS is designed for handicapped males or males who have difficulty Male urination problems, or just need an alternative to a Male urination problems.

However, Pilots, Truck drivers, Hunters, and Campers are  also candidates for a MUDS.  The days of urinating behind a bush are about gone, unless you are way-way out in the boonies and sure that no one can see you.  I’m sure that an indecent exposure ticket is not on anyones agenda.  With a MUDS you can urinate in the privacy of your vehicle, in a private plane, or in a tent.  It could be used in a Male urination problems.  The urine is contained in a sealed container for transport to an appropriate place to dispose of the urine (of course not in the vicinity of your Male urination problems).

Try a MUDS to meet your needs for a Male urination problems.

The Traditional Male urination problems.  Not much to it, right?  You just urinate into it and then, what?  Well, let’s see, most men set it on the bedside table or the floor.

If you set it on the bedside table, do you have your glass of water setting by it?  Do you set your snacks or maybe even your teeth or toothbrush on the same table?  When you use a urinal, urine and bodily excrement from the groin area is transferred to the outside of the urinal.  Then you set it on your table?  Where you put your food and drink?  Yuk.  But, what else are you supposed to do?

If you set the urinal on the floor, how many times has it been kicked over or spilled accidentally?

I have the solution for you.  A MUDS unit has a holder that can be attached to a bedrail, chairrail, or even to a bedside nightstand that you do not set your food or drink on.

If you are using a traditional urinal or other Male urination problems try a MUDS.

As a mother, there is nothing in this world that hurts more than when your child is hurting. My son suffered a terrible accident that resulted in a 3/4 body cast for over 8 weeks. I am fortunate and blessed that I had the knowledge and ability to help him during his recovery.Male urination problems

My son was devastated to find himself using a diaper or depending on Mom, NaNa, Aunt Kathy, or his sister to aide with his toileting needs. So, I began developing what I now call, the MUDS. it was a lot of trial and error, but the system worked. My son was completely independent of urination with the exception of needing someone to empty the container. The MUDS became like my purse, we took it everywhere we went. My son was able to use the my alternative to a bedside urinal for men in the Doctors office, public restroom, and even in the car. When he was out of the cast, he continued to use the MUDS, especially at night, until he no longer needed crutches.

A male urinal is not user, or caregiver friendly.  It requires the male to be continent, as does the MUDS.  However, that is where the difference ends.

A urinal is easily spilled, holds only 1000ml full (if you can fill it without spilling it), is placed on the floor or eating surface after use (yuck), is difficult to maintain accurate measurement of output, is difficult to impossible to use for some men, requires frequent linen changes and clean up if spilled, and increase the risk of falls from slipping in spilled urine.

The MUDS eliminates or reduces spills, holds 2500ml (enough for all day for most men), can be hung on a bed rail or chair with versatile holder, aids in the measurement of accurate output, easy to use unaided in virtually any position, decreases need for linen changes, and decreases the risk of falls.

The MUDS is a great alternative to any other portable urinary device or spill proof urinal.

The MUDS or Male Urinary Drainage System is a alternative to a urinal for a continent male.

For those of us who have loved ones with decreased ability to perform their activities of daily living such as Male urination problemsor difficulty using a Male urination problems, we are more than willing to set up our household to promote their independence and ease of care.

When my son broke his leg, my husband went into the attic and put a large eye hook thru the rafter in the ceiling so that we could safely attach a rope with a handle.  He was able to transfer himself from the bed to a chair.

If your loved one generally only uses a urinal at the bedside, it is very easy to attach the holder to a old bedside table or end table for ease of use.

What makes the MUDS a Male urination problems?

The shape and slope of the MUDS unit is designed to assist in appropriate angle during use to promote drainage of urine.  The urine does not stay in the main unit, but drains into a container which will hold up to 2500ml of urine.

The back-flow system, along with the fact that the urine doesn’t stay in the receiving unit, reduces risk of spills, urine in the bed, carpet, or on the floor.  Urine spilled on beds and carpet promote an unsanitary environment due to difficulty and time consuming clean up.  Urine spilled on a solid floor surface is a tremendous fall risk for everyone in the household.

Decreased spills means:  decreased laundering of linens and pajamas, less time changing linens and cleaning up spills, eliminates odors from spilled urine, promotion of hygiene and cleanliness, decreased risk of a fall, and decreased risk of spreading germs.  It also eases caregiver strain.

Try a MUDS before you give up on a spill proof urinal.Male urination problems

Male urinals are difficult, at best, to use.  Frequently male anatomy changes with age.  The penis sometimes envelops into pubic fat, reducing length and making it hard to point the penis into a urinal.  Frequent misses are common and spilling after use is easy to do.  Then, the urinal has urine in it and you need to use it again.  Of course, there is no one to empty it for you or they are not timely enough and you attempt to use it again with urine already in it.  Now a difficult task becomes even harder, resulting in spills.

The Male Urinary Drainage System is designed to prevent these common problems with a urinal.  It is designed to seat against the pubic area solving many of the problems associated with a urinal.  The urine drains immediately into a storage container which can hold up to 2500ml before requiring emptying, eliminating the need for someone to empty the urinal at each urination episode.  It has multiple features that promote a spill proof urinal for a continent male.

All right, tell the truth.  How many of you have skipped taking your “water pill” because you were going to be riding in the car for even a short distance and you didn’t want to have to worry about finding a place to urinate. A male urinal

spills easily and is sometimes difficult to use which makes men inclined to either skip their pill, or stay at home.

I have only taken a “water pill” once.  I now know how urgently you have to get to the bathroom to urinate.  And talk about frequency.  We were just trying to play a game of cards and every time we finished a hand, I was hurrying to the bathroom, and sometimes couldn’t even wait until the hand was over.  It was very frustrating.  I do occasionally have urgency even though I do not routinely take “water pills”.  It is very distressing and anxiety producing.

When you skip your “water pill” you place yourself at risk to retain excess fluid which can lead to difficulty breathing and makes your heart have to work overtime to keep up.  For you guys, there is no excuse not to take your “water pill” even if you are traveling.  Try a Male Urinary Drainage System.  Great for traveling and you won’t have to worry about getting stuck in traffic or not being able to find a place to urinate.  And you certainly don’t have to stay at home.  You are in control!

Looking for a real change in

the way a male urinal functions, try a MUDS or Male urination problems.

It is suitable for nearly any position, regardless of restrictive appliances or casts.  The MUDS is effective for males who don’t have enough length to point into a urinal, but are still continent.  The MUDS will work for you even if you are unable to use a “urinal”.

The Male Urinary Drainage System or MUDS was specifically designed as an alternative to the old Male urination problems. 

to promote hygiene, self esteem and ease care giver strain.

The urine drains into a container that will hold 2500ml and has accurate markings on the container for measurement if needed.  A lot of men have difficulty using a standard urinal.  One of the major causes is spilling urine when placing on a surface until emptied, or trying to use the urinal with urine already in it because there was no one to empty it timely enough.

The MUDS solves this problem by promoting immediate drainage of urine into the container.  It can be used multiple times before it needs to be emptied, and if needed promote accurate measurement of urine.

What makes the MUDS or Male Urinary Drainage System the perfect urinal for a male with limited vision? 

During the design process, the inventor took into consideration numerous handicaps.  Decreased or limited vision makes it difficult to use a urinal.  Placement or the urinal can be managed, but,  the problem occurs with the attempt to place the urinal with urine in it onto a surface after use.  It causes frequent spills.

The Male Urinary Drainage System, or MUDS, has two features that solves this problem.  One, the urine doesn’t stay in the urinating device, it drains into a container which will hold 2500ml.  This solves the spilling problem when attempting to place the urinal on a surface after use.  Two, the MUDS device has orientation ridges which allow the user to place the device appropriately.

This is one of the many features that makes the MUDS truly a  Male urination problemsfor males with visual defecits.

The Male Urinary Drainage System or MUDS includes a holder for the main receptacle to be placed when the unit is not in use.

The holder can be strapped with the included velcro to a bedrail or chairrail.  For home use, there are small holes in the holder that could be utilized to use small screws to attach the holder more permanently to a end table or bedside table.

For those of us who have loved ones with decreased ability to perform their activities of daily living such as Male urination problemsor difficulty using a Male urination problems, we are more than willing to set up our household to promote their independence and ease of care.

Hey Guys, don’t let Male urination problems or urgency keep you from enjoying traveling.

There are a lot of men who limit a car ride because of urgency or frequency.  Whether it is because of physiologic reasons or because you take diuretics (water pills), you don’t have to stay home (or skip your medication) because you can’t get to the bathroom in time.  And you don’t have to wear a diaper if you are continent to travel.

The Male Urinary Drainage System is designed just for you.  Don’t worry about not being able to get to the rest stop on time or making so many stops that you feel like you will never get where you are going.  Try it.  You are in control.

Male urination problems, such as inability to use a urinal due to the use of only one hand or restrictions in movement due to spinal injuries, can be more independent in urination with the use of the MUDS.  Here are some helpful hints to promote efficient use of the MUDS.

     LYING FLAT ON YOUR BACK:   (Remember it is a gravity system) Slightly bend knee and place tubing under leg of choice. Place over penis with textured side up. Apply gentle pressure to groin area and press unit down gently into the scrotum. This will provide the appropriate angle for gravity drainage. The soft edge will not scratch or irritate. Do not leave tubing under leg for extended periods. It could cause pressure sores.

LYING FLAT ON YOUR BACK WHEN SPINAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE MAINTAINED:  Use the 2 and 3 ft sections of tubing to form a 5 ft connection (remove the threaded connector from one end of each section of tubing, then use the connector provided to splice the 2 sections together) Hang the drainage container toward the foot of the bed. To use: run the tubing between the legs and use as above. If the bed is capable, slight reverse trendelenberg will greatly improve gravity drainage. This will allow the user to urinate independently and minimize to eliminate any leakage. Again, ensure that the tubing is against the bed when not in use to prevent falls.

I have found that the best way to clean Male urination problems is to use vinegar.

I rinse with a 50/50 vinegar and water solution as needed to clean and control odors.

Vinegar is the recommended solution by MUDS LLC for cleaning the Male urination problems.  It will kill most mold, bacteria, and germs because of the acidity.  It is a cheap cleaning product and is environmentally friendly

males unless they are bladder trained to urinate on command.

A male does not have to be handicapped or have challenges to use the MUDS. Other potential users are truck drivers, hunters, pilots, fisherman, campers. A healthy female would not have any difficulty using the MUDS in discreet places, such as in a tent or a RV.

Male urination problemsThe MUDS  consists of a container (12″x8″x3″) that holds up to 2500ml and has markings for measurement. A holder is included which is designed to attach to the rail of the bed and includes a lid for covering the device when not in use. The holder provides a sanitary place to secure the MUDS device when not in use, keeping it off of bedside tables, where food and drink are kept. There are orientation ridges to assist persons with decreased vision. It can be used in virtually any position and requires the use of only one hand. The orientation ridge facilitates use by males who cannot see their groin area whether related to visual deficits or obesity. During testing, males who were continent, but unable to use a urinal or other product currently available, used the MUDS with great success and with little instruction required. Patients attitudes and participation in their treatment plan were improved when they could urinate independently.

It may be used in virtually any position as long as the tubing and main device are in position to drain by gravity. Place the MUDS unit over the penis. The orientation textured surface is to be up. Gently press against groin area forming a light seal. Urinate into device. When finished urinating, raise device to straighten tubing and allow all urine to drain into the container. Replace the MUDS device into the holder and apply the lid. The SECRET to the MUDS working at it’s best is in the setup. The container needs to be placed to allow for the most direct route of drainage from where the device will be used, limiting loops or sags in the tubing.

Need a spill proof urinal ?    Try a MUDS!!!!

There are many reasons that caregivers might place a continent male in a diaper.  Usually, it is because they can not use a Male urination problemswithout spilling it.

A diaper should be used only for men who are incontinent (unable to control their urine flow), not for convenience or hygiene.  Diapers cause diaper rashes, and can lead to ulcers or sores as a result of the constant moisture exposed to the skin.  They require that a caregiver thoroughly clean the entire area covered by the diaper in order to remove any urine from the skin to prevent rashes, sores, and odors.  This is very time consuming and labor intensive.

The container needs to be placed to allow for the most direct route of drainage from where the device will be used, limiting loops or sags in the tubing.

One of the many reasons to avoid inserting a foley catheter in a continent male is the risk of trauma.  Insertion of a foley catheter is painful and has the associated risk of causing injury to the urethra or prostate.

There is a high probability of bleeding when the catheter is traumatically removed with the bulb intact.  For example:  If the patient is getting out of bed, ambulating, or misjudges the length of the tubing when hurriedly getting out of bed to go to the bathroom for a bowel movement the catheter could accidentally be tugged and traumatically pulled out.

When injury occurs, treatment may include:  reinsertion of the foley, bladder irrigation, blood transfusion, or a increased hospital stay with increased acuity of care.  Traumatic injuries related to urethral catheters  can lead to shock and potential long term consequences as a result of the injury.

[i] 1.  Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections Feb. 1981. http//www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/gl_catheter_assoc.html

Being a female, I have never worn a condom catheter, but I have placed many of them.  You clean the area really well with soap and water and then you dry, and wait for it to dry some more.  Liquid adhesives are sometimes helpful, but can you imaging having adhesive placed there?  Then you are finally ready to place the condom catheter.  You roll it on only to find out that it is too large or too small, and you don’t have the appropriate size.  If you have the right size, you generally get pubic hair under the condom catheter and that must be mighty uncomfortable.  You finally get it placed, and how long does it stay on?

Seriously, condom catheters are not comfortable, but sometimes they are the only alternative for an incontinent male.  If you must place a condom catheter, make sure that it is an appropriate fit – not too snug and not too loose.  If the male has not been circumcised, do not pull the foreskin back.  Leave it in its’ natural position and place the condom catheter over the foreskin, otherwise long term retraction of the foreskin will cause swelling and could even require medical attention to treat.  As I always say, always put the turtle back in its’ shell before applying the condom catheter.

If you know a continent male who is using a condom catheter just because they can’t use a urinal without spilling, suggest that they try a Male Urinary Drainage System.  It is designed specifically for males who have difficulty using a urinal.

Male urination problemsare difficult, at best, to use.  Frequently male anatomy changes with age.  The penis sometimes envelops into pubic fat, reducing length and making it hard to point the penis into a urinal.  Frequent misses are common and spilling after use is easy to do.  Then, the urinal has urine in it and you need to use it again.  Of course, there is no one to empty it for you or they are not timely enough and you attempt to use it again with urine already in it.  Now a difficult task becomes even harder, resulting in spills.

The Male Urinary Drainage System is designed to prevent these common problems with a urinal.  It is designed to seat against the pubic area solving many of the problems associated with a urinal.  The urine drains immediately into a storage container which can hold up to 2500ml before requiring emptying, eliminating the need for someone to empty the urinal at each urination episode.

We recently went camping and I was 6 months pregnant. My mother and I each had a Male urination problems

in our tents and were able to urinate into the device without difficulty. We had the privacy of our tents, and the convenience of not having to walk or drive almost 1 mile to the nearest restrooms. We took the containers to the restroom facilities every morning and emptied them. It was great.”
