Did you know the CDC recommends hand held urinals as an alternative to indwelling catheters when possible?
Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are a persistent infection control issue. According to the CDC roughly 75% of UTIs developed in hospitals are associated with a urinary catheter.
About 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection according to a 2024 report published by the CDC. The same report states 11% of those infections are CAUTIs. A paper published by Interior Health states that an estimated 30% to 50% of HAIs are preventable.
The Millie® hand held urinal is specifically designed with a wide, curved spout to fit both male and female forms and can be used in standing, seated or laying positions. Made in the U.S.A by a Veteran Owned Small Business, it is the ideal substitutions for in-dwelling catheters when possible.
