Does anyone here have experience with condom catheters?

Our doc also said it would be more problematic than helpful because of his dementia. Arghhh...

i considered that for my husband. He’s prone to infections and a nurse told me that since nothing is actually inserted, the chances of infection and necrosis ( an actual disintegration of the skin at the head of the penis) isn’t as much of a problem. My husband doesn’t have dementia but is so incontinent i affectionately refer to him as “Mr. Niagara Falls”. The nurse suggested a “Supra pubic catheter” that is surgically implanted right above the pubic bone into the bladder. She said this causes many less issues than a regular catheter. Do you think your husband would rip it out? If you don’t think so this may be an option.

If he has dementia it will be an exercise in futility. He will remove it. I see it more of a long term problem than help. Can cause ulcers and or necrosis of the penis. Use adult briefs with inserted incontinent pads . Put his pants/shorts over the brief backward. If he has no dementia place pants on correctly.
