Frequently Asked Questions

What is a male external catheter?

A male external catheter is a non-invasive urine collection device designed to help manage urinary incontinence. Unlike an internal catheter, it is worn externally and does not require insertion into the urethra.

When used with the Nefiya Urine Collection System, urine is directed away from the body and into a collection canister.

How does the Nefiya Male External Catheter work?

The catheter uses a soft, absorbent material to help draw urine away from the skin. When connected to the Nefiya Urine Collection System with low continuous suction, voided urine is drawn into a collection canister.

This helps provide a non-invasive option for managing urine collection during overnight or extended periods of use.

Is the Nefiya Male External Catheter invasive?

No. The Nefiya Male External Catheter is designed to be worn externally and does not require insertion into the urethra.

Does the catheter work by itself?

No. The Nefiya Male External Catheter is designed to be used with the Nefiya Urine Collection System.

The collection system uses low continuous suction to help draw urine away from the body and into a collection canister.

How long can one catheter be used?

For optimal hygiene and performance, each catheter should be replaced at least every 24 hours.

It should also be replaced if it becomes soiled with blood, feces, or semen.

Is the catheter reusable?

No. Each Nefiya Male External Catheter is designed for single use only.

Do not wash or reuse the catheter.

Can I wear it overnight?

Yes. The Nefiya Male External Catheter is designed for bedside and overnight urine collection when used with the compatible Nefiya Urine Collection System.

Is it comfortable to wear?

The catheter is made with a soft, absorbent material designed to support comfortable external wear.

Individual comfort may vary depending on body shape, skin condition, and proper placement.

How does it help minimize leakage?

The catheter features a full adhesive seal designed to help secure the catheter during use and minimize leakage.

For best performance, make sure the catheter is properly placed and connected to the compatible Nefiya Urine Collection System.

Is this better than wearing an adult diaper?

The Nefiya Male External Catheter offers a different approach to urinary management.

Unlike absorbent products such as adult diapers, briefs, pads, or underpads that absorb urine near the body, the Nefiya system is designed to direct urine away from the body and into a collection canister when used with low continuous suction.

The best option depends on individual needs and preferences.

Can the catheter help keep skin dry?

When properly used with the Nefiya Urine Collection System, the catheter is designed to help draw urine away from the skin and into a collection canister.

This may help support a drier skin environment during use.
