Wellspect launches at-home urine collection device, completing Surity incontinence system

Wellspect HealthCare has launched the Surity Urinary Management System in the United States, a discreet at-home urine collection device designed for people living with urinary incontinence and their caregivers, the company announced.

The launch completes the full Surity portfolio in the U.S., following the earlier introduction of the Surity Female and Male External Catheters. The collection device is designed to work alongside those existing products, giving patients and caregivers a complete system for managing incontinence outside the clinical setting.

Urinary incontinence affects more than 13 million Americans and their caregivers, according to Wellspect. Beyond the physical management of the condition, the company said incontinence care extends into daily life, disrupting sleep and routines and, for some patients, affecting confidence and relationships. Caregivers often absorb a share of that burden as well, with the physical, social and emotional strain of incontinence care extending to those who support patients at home. Despite the scale of the problem, the company said many patients and caregivers still lack access to reliable, comfortable, at-home management options.

"The evolution of the Surity portfolio is focused on addressing many of the practical challenges of urinary incontinence that more than 13 million Americans and their caregivers face in the U.S.," said Chris Schlenk, group vice president at Wellspect HealthCare. "The introduction of the Urinary Management System builds on our commitment to develop innovative solutions for incontinence care, providing a discreet, at-home option to help manage incontinence."

Schlenk said the system "is designed to integrate into daily and nighttime routines and support individuals and their caregivers in restoring confidence, comfort and rest."

The device uses suction to draw voided urine away from the body and includes an on-demand "Boost" button for additional suction when needed. Wellspect said the system operates quietly with one-touch controls, is designed to minimize nighttime interruptions, and includes carbon filters intended to help reduce odor. The company said the combined features are meant to ease the burden of overnight caregiving and provide reassurance during daily routines.

Dru Woodward, who the company said uses the Surity Female External Catheter, was quoted in the announcement describing the product as a dependable, practical option that has become part of a daily routine. Woodward credited the device with restoring comfort and confidence in managing incontinence care.

A growing market for at-home incontinence and continence-care devices

Wellspect's launch lands amid a broader industry push to move urinary incontinence management out of the clinic and into patients' homes. Device makers across the continence-care space have been investing heavily in technologies designed to reduce reliance on indwelling catheters and traditional absorbent products, both of which carry well-documented risks of infection, skin breakdown and discomfort with prolonged use.

External, non-invasive collection systems have become a particular focus of that shift, as manufacturers look for ways to manage urine output without the infection risk associated with urethral insertion. At the same time, neuromodulation-based therapies aimed at the underlying causes of urge incontinence have advanced considerably, giving physicians a wider range of options to offer patients beyond medication and absorbent supplies.

This mirrors a broader trend across chronic-condition management more generally, as device manufacturers push more sophisticated, connected and user-friendly hardware into the home setting. For physicians, that shift raises practical considerations around patient selection, caregiver training and how these devices fit into broader care plans — particularly for older adults and patients with mobility limitations, who make up a large share of the population affected by incontinence. As more of these systems reach the market, primary care and geriatric practices in particular may see rising patient interest in at-home options as an alternative, or complement, to traditional incontinence supplies.
