ABSTRACT:
A shorts-type undergarment with two vertical openings on the front of the shorts. The first opening, 4, is located at the bottom of the crotch and extends upward. This opening, 4, allows for the insertion of a catheter. The second opening, is an access panel, 1, which is opened by pulling back a long vertical strip of Velcro.RTM., 3, attached to a corresponding strip of oppositely mated Velcro.RTM., 2, which horizontally extends partially across one front side. The patient is able to retain a high degree of modesty and dignity, when the catheter is attended to by medical personnel. Since the catheter is secured, in a straight pathway, there is a decreased likelihood the patient will develop secondary medical complications like urinary tract infections, discomfort and irritation associated with a catheter which is not properly secured.
