THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER ME. MY HUSBAND DOES HAVE A UNINAL BY HIS ELECTRIC LIFT CHAIR (WHICH HE SLEEPS IN) BUT SINCE THE INCONTENANCE STARTED HE CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW. IT STARTS BEFORE HE CAN REACH THE URINAL (A LATE PARKINSON PROBLEM). SO, WE ARE GOING TO TRY--THE EXTERNAL CATATHER AND SEE IF IT WORKS FOR HIM. WE HAVE A NIGHT TIME CAREGIVER WHO WILL PUT IT ON WITH MEDICAL TAPE---AND HE CAN EASILY TAKE IT OFF HIMSELF, IN THE MORNING, OR I CAN. In a message dated 6/20/2013 11:00:22 P.M.
