Applications
afex is used by men primarily with stress incontinence from moderate to severe scenario but can be adapted for use in all male incontinence types - Urgency / Functional / Overflow etc with variations in receptacle style and or thigh bag capacity. afex is available on NHS FP10 prescription since 2008 and is the UK's most popular urinal device in the medical sector. Essentially used as an alternative to high capacity disposable pads and condom catheter systems by men who are fairly mobile and keen to get outdoors for travel / sport / leisure. afex is the answer when nature calls. The ability to leak securely into a thigh bag and then empty this bag intermittently equates to resetting the clock on usage time - allowing men to travel more freely and with greater confidence without the worry of having to find a toilet to dispose of or change their high capacity incontinence pad - also much better for the environment.
