”UriCap Female is a unique solution for women and the only fixed external urine collection device that totally avoids the odor of urine, keeping the patient dry and thus avoiding the toxic effect of urine on the skin. At the same time, it enables the monitoring of dehydration status because UriCap Female allows you to observe the volume and the color of the urine.”
