Your patients need a better solution
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) pose a threat to patient safety, often leading to complications like sepsis, prolonged hospital stays and increased healthcare costs.1 Traditional indwelling catheters can cause discomfort, skin injury and infection. Many other external female catheter devices are universally designed, aren’t approved for use on adolescents and most need to be replaced several times a day.
It's time for a change
The Sage PrimaFit External Urine Management for the Female Anatomy is a great fit for your patients and your hospital. It’s designed to help improve efficiency and reduce costs as well as address the #1 CAUTI risk factor – the indwelling catheter.2
