FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, December 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Millions of women managing urinary incontinence now have expanded access to safe, non-invasive care solutions: both the PureWick® Standard Wick and the PureWick® Flex Wick are now covered through Medicare for eligible patients.

Licensed in more than 40 states, USI provides patients and caregivers with knowledgeable phone support and end-to-end supply management, ensuring uninterrupted access to the products they rely on.
Understanding the Difference Between the PureWick® Standard and Flex Wick
Patients and caregivers consistently ask which option is best for their needs. Here’s how the two Medicare-covered PureWick® choices compare.
PureWick® Female External Catheter (Standard): A structured, stable design with broad surface coverage. Ideal for patients who sleep in a consistent position or prefer a more traditional wick feel.
PureWick® Flex Female External Catheter (Flex Wick): A softer, more flexible design that contours to the body. Particularly helpful for patients who move frequently during sleep and need a wick that stays comfortably in place.
Both wicks offer a non-invasive alternative to internal catheters, helping reduce the risk of UTIs, skin irritation, and nighttime falls.
How the PureWick® System Works
Both wick styles connect to the PureWick® External Urine Collection System, which gently draws urine away from the body and into a bedside canister. The system is designed to be quiet, discreet, and simple to empty each morning, giving patients and caregivers a safer overnight solution.
Choosing the Right Wick for Individual Needs
Comfort and sleep habits typically guide the decision:
Standard Wick: A more structured design for those who remain in one sleep position.
Flex Wick: A contouring, flexible option for patients who shift frequently at night.
Many caregivers try both options before determining which delivers the most reliable results.
“Caregivers are already juggling so much, and they deserve a partner who makes things easier,” said Larry Vetter, Vice President of USI. “That’s where our team comes in. We’ve built a knowledgeable, friendly team here. So whether it’s answering questions, assisting with paperwork, or sending helpful tutorial videos, we guide families every step of the way. Whatever support they need, we’re happy to help.”
Medicare Coverage Ensures Safe, Consistent Use
Medicare now covers both the Standard and Flex Wick at an 80% rate for patients deemed medically necessary by their doctor when supplied through an approved provider like USI. This coverage ensures patients receive fresh, single-use wicks on a monthly basis, eliminating the need for unsafe reuse.
“We’ve heard from patients and caregivers who, under financial strain, felt they had no choice but to wash and reuse wicks,” said Vetter. “That’s not how the system was designed, and it puts their health at risk. With Medicare covering both wick options each month, families can finally use PureWick® safely and consistently.”
