GeeWhiz Condom Catheter: It's Medicare Approved - Diapers Are Not!

Filed under: Geriatrics , Medicine , Urology


For the latest in leak proof convenience and comfort, check out the GeeWhiz Condom Catheter from Leading Edge Innovations Inc., the winner of this year's Medical Design Excellence Awards.

According to the manufacturer, the product "has a fantastically high satisfaction rating by the patients and as important, their caregivers." We can't wait to try it on:

  • Patented & Patent Pending Technology for a "leak proof" seal
  • No glue or skin adhesives required.
  • The GeeWhiz® is easy to apply -- by one's self or your caregiver
  • It's also easy to remove
  • It features a quick connect and disconnect for use at day or night
  • It has a leak proof seal so you can rest assured
  • Cannot accidentally be removed
  • We are skeptical about the last point: if they can pull out central lines and chest tubes, they can definitely pull off an external condom catheter.
