An Innovative & Universal Solution for Adult Incontinence
UniSUC is short for Unisex Siphoning Urinary Catheter (an incontinence catheter). It’s a non-invasive (external) urine management system for use in various adult incontinence populations, including the bed-bound or those with limited mobility
Improves Patient Quality of Care
UniSUC achieves this by meeting the following criteria:
Versatility
Performance – ANTI-IAD
Comfort
Low Cost
Versatility
UNISEX/ UNIVERSAL
- Designed for all adult Females and Males, “One-size-fits-all”.
- Flexible, the frame can conform to the contour shape of small-to-large body frames.
One device can be used on either female or male patients, and its unique internal tube frame design is adjustable and flexible to fit a range of adult sizes small-to-large body shapes
MULTIPLE-POSITIONAL USE
- Patient can perform range of motion while in bed without dislodging the EUCD when underwear is worn over UniSUC.
- Can be Sitting, Supine, Semi-Fowler, or Lateral positions.
Performance
INTEGRATED SUCTION Plus ABSORBENT-WICKING FABRIC
UniSUC’s unique tube frame design integrated with a vacuum/suction source & fluid collection canister*, enclosed in a sleeve liner with an absorbent-wicking fabric (skin-facing) side, provides the most effective Wicking + Siphoning urinary incontinence management system.
(*Medical Suction & Collection Canister device not included with starter kits, sold separately)
95%+ EFFECTIVE FLUID SIPHONING WITH MINIMAL PRESSURE REQUIRED
Another unique and key feature of UniSUC’s design is it only requires minimal mounting pressure in order to siphon urine when properly and comfortably seated along the skin folds of the pelvic region. This also prevents fluid leakage while allowing airflow along the crevices of the skin folds (thanks to the Absorbent-Wicking Fabric layer) to effectively siphon 95% or greater of the fluids
- Watch our demonstration video comparing UniSUC against other well known EUCD’s.
CONTINUED AERATION SPREAD IN PERINEAL AREA
Designed for air flow from perimeter edges of lower pelvic/abdominal area inflow towards lower perineal suction area.
REDUCED MOISTURE + ANTI-RASH – UniSUC is the answer to IADs
UniSUC can consistently remove fluid even with high fluid discharge which reduces and prevents moisture accumulation.
The effect of continuous aeration decreases mycobacterial environment to effectively reduce intertrigo (redness, yeast infection, chapping of skin).
As an added benefit from the combination of an absorbent-wicking fabric over a tube frame with integrated suction, UniSUC’s design allows air to flow naturally between the absorbent side of the liner and the patient’s skin surface, which minimizes/reduces moisture, and Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI’s). UniSUC is particularly effective (when properly and comfortably seated between skin folds in the pelvic region) in preventing or reducing intertrigo, groin rash, yeast infections and other skin disorders commonly associated with CAUTIs
- Prevents skin maceration; thereby reducing vulnerability to infections (UTIs, CAUTIs, or HAPIs)
Here is a real-world application comparison between UniSUC vs adult diaper & a chuck pad. Using a moisture detection device, this demonstration quantitatively shows which product has the least amount of moisture after 1hr of exposure.
Comfort
NO PRESSURE REQUIRED, YET EFFECTIVE
The cup-shape formation of the Liner (after the Frame is inserted into it), requires little or no pressure and can simply catch fluid effectively for all genders.
Memory shape Frame Device feature utilizes the crevices of the skin to create a seal to keep fluids in:
- The Frame device retains memory shape which allows customization specific for each patient’s shape; custom fit.
- When inserted into the Liner, it will comfortably conform to the contours of the specific patient’s body shape (all adult sizes) and utilize the skin folds along the groin areas to maintain a seal to keep fluids within the liner.

SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
No adhesives are required in order to attach to the patient. The skin contact side of the disposable liners is a soft-to-skin, highly absorbent wicking fabric; material similarly used for baby diapers and/or sanitary pads
COMFORT FEEL, SOFT RUBBER
Frame is made from soft PVC (same as the vacuum tubes), with a subtle feel on the skin.
DISPOSABLE LINER, SOFT AS DIAPERS, SOFT-TO-SKIN
Same feel as diapers or sanitary pads on the skin as our Liners are made with same type of material.
HYGIENIC
The sleeve liner is the one-time use component of this system. These disposable Liners are simple to remove and easy to install. We recommend replacement every 8-12 hours (1 per shift, or as needed) to maintain proper hygiene care.
LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
DESIGNED TO BE LOWER COST PER PATIENT USE BY WAY OF ITS HYBRID REUSABILITY & DISPOSABILITY STRATEGY
- Reusability of Frame – For Hospitals, this means one frame for one patient used throughout the extent of hospital stay, and the frame can go home with the patient. Simply rinse with soap & water for reuse.
- Disposability of Liner – Designed for 8-12hr shift use, change as needed when soiled. Only Liner is to be disposed of.
UniSUC is also designed to be a much lower cost per patient use. This is achieved with a hybrid approach; the Reusability of the Frame component and Disposability of the Liner component. The UniSUC liner is significantly lower cost per use cycle compared to other disposable external catheter products available in the market today. And again, it’s universally applicable to both Male and Female patients!
ONE DEVICE FOR ALL PATIENTS
One EUCD to cover multiple types (regardless of size, shapes, gender) of patients. Reduces inventory stocking of different brands. Thereby, reducing other unnecessary devices not effective for patient use.
