Overall prevalence of urinary incontinence in men is 17%, rising to 31% in those men aged 85 years old or older (Anger et al, 2006). Penile sheaths, sometimes referred to as 'condom catheters', provide a reliable form of management for those men with intractable urinary incontinence. A penile sheath is a soft, flexible sleeve that fits over the penis with an anti-reflux bulbous end which culminates as a short tube that attaches to any standard urinary drainage system. Penile sheaths provide clinicians with a useful alternative to long-term urethral catheterization as they are non-invasive and consequently associated with a lower incidence of bacteraemia (Tenke et al, 2008).
男性尿失禁的总体患病率为17%，85岁及以上男性的患病率升至31%（安格尔等人，2006年）。阴茎套，有时被称为“避孕套导尿管”，为那些患有顽固性尿失禁的男性提供了一种可靠的管理方式。阴茎套是一种柔软、灵活的套管，套在阴茎上，末端有一个防反流球囊，最终形成一根短管，可连接到任何标准的尿液引流系统。阴茎套为临床医生提供了一种替代长期尿道插管的有用方法，因为它们是非侵入性的，因此菌血症发生率较低（滕克等人，2008年）。
