In urinary management, comfort and adaptability aren’t luxuries — they’re essential. For patients, an uncomfortable or poorly fitting device can mean disrupted sleep, restricted movement, or even skin complications. For caregivers, it can mean frequent repositioning, extra linen changes, and added stress on already busy shifts.
That’s why the Tibbe external female urine collection device was engineered with one simple philosophy: work with the patient’s body, not against it.
Why Flexibility Matters in Patient Care
No two patients are the same. Body shapes, mobility levels, and care needs vary widely — and urinary management solutions need to adapt accordingly.
Tibbe’s soft, conforming design molds comfortably to the patient’s body, helping to create a secure fit without rigid edges or hard components. This adaptability minimizes the risk of pressure points, discomfort, and device-related shifting during normal movement.
Protecting Skin While Maintaining a Secure Fit
Urine exposure to skin isn’t just uncomfortable — it can lead to incontinence associated dermatitis and increase infection risk.
Tibbe™ ’s closed-system design gently channels urine away from the skin, reducing prolonged moisture contact while maintaining a snug, dependable seal. This balance of flexibility and security is designed to help prevent leaks without restricting patient movement.
Efficiency for Caregivers
Flexible doesn’t just mean comfortable — it also means efficient. Tibbe™ ’s adaptable fit can be applied by a nurse, technician, or even self-applied in appropriate situations, with no physician order required.
The secure yet gentle adhesion means fewer mid-shift adjustments and less time spent changing linens and clothing. In many cases, this can free up caregivers to focus on other critical tasks while maintaining patient dignity and comfort.
Designed for Real-Life Use
Tibbe was created with input from experienced clinicians and informed by patient needs. Features like opposing pull tabs allow quick cup removal without disrupting the adhesive sleeve, making changes smoother and less stressful for the patient.
For patients who need continuous wear, Tibbe is designed for more than 36 hours of use under recommended care guidelines, supporting day-to-day living without constant device changes.
A More Comfortable Path Forward
The flexibility built into Tibbe™ ’s design isn’t just about the materials — it’s about the entire care experience. By adapting to each patient’s body, protecting skin, and streamlining caregiver workflow, Tibbe offers a modern alternative that helps bridge the gap between comfort and performance.
