At present, 3 types of urine collection device can be distinguished: absorbent devices (diaper-type), penile clamps and penile collection sheaths. Both pads and penile sheaths are used depending on the department concerned, the clinical context and user preferences. A 2023 survey at Nîmes University Hospital showed that penis sleeves have undesirable side effects like fixation problems and pain on removal, and care assistants reported penile irritation caused by the penis sleeve. Caregivers also reported difficulties when handling and using penis sleeves. There is clearly a need for a better device.To overcome the disadvantages of penis covers, the PEASY project team at Nîmes University Hospital has developed a practical, non-invasive medical device for eliminating urine, positioned on the glans: the PEASY device. This device is held in place by a non-adhesive fastening system that involves the foreskin, to ensure leakage-free urine flow.
