A condom catheter is a non-invasive option for male urinary incontinence that can help reduce the risk of skin damage. It is a sheath-like device that is placed over the penis and attached to a drainage bag, allowing urine to be collected without contacting the skin. The other options (Robinson catheter, straight catheter, and Foley catheter) are all invasive and involve inserting a tube into the bladder, which can increase the risk of infection and cause further damage to the delicate skin in the perineal area.
