How To Place the Hoomsions™
Female External Catheter?

Step 1

Clean patient’s vulva

Step 2

Get comfortable! The FEC can be placed while laying on your side or back.
If you turn onto your side after placing your wick, check to make sure it has not shifted or moved.
Start by lining your FEC up so the top of the wick (the end connected to the tubing) is aligned with the top of the pubic bone. This helps guide placement.
If your wick is too high or too low, it may not catch the voided urine, leading to wetness.

Step 3

Starting at the bottom, spread the glutes (buttocks) and place the FEC snugly between the buttocks muscles. This will help hold the wick in place.
Bending the wick slightly before placing it will help it better conform to your anatomy.
Next, separate the inner labia. Press the FEC snugly against the pubic bone and between the labia. Together, the labia and buttocks hold the FEC in place, so make sure it fits snugly between both.
Make sure you’re not blocking the vent hole at the top of the wick, which could affect suction and lead to wetness.
