🔥 Hot Topic on the APTA Acute Care Listserv: External Urine Devices

Are external urine devices like PureWicks being overused in hospitals? Recent listserv discussion says maybe—and it’s affecting mobility.

🏥 While EUDs are less invasive than Foley catheters, overuse can reduce patient mobility and increase risks like pneumonia, DVT, and functional decline.
📊 A 2023 audit found 56% of EUD use was inappropriate, even among patients who could stand, transfer, or were continent.
🤝 PTs and nurses in the discussion shared how interdisciplinary workgroups and evidence-based protocols improved appropriate use and patient outcomes.
