Let’s see……A Male urination problems?  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 or Male Urinary Drainage System on the other hand, is easy to use even if you have handicaps or defecits 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.
