The STADIUM PAL consists of three simple components: the external catheter worn like a condom (7 ea.), a flexible hose with connector (1 ea.), Latex free straps (2ea.), and a collection bag (1000 ml)with drain valve(1 ea.). The leg bag system can be worn on the inner calf. Originally developed as a health care product for the incontinent by the home health care industry. The STADIUM PAL avails itself from high-tech research.
I used the stadium pal at the March 2002 NASCAR race in Bristol TN. I can tell you it works great. Both my buddies had to leave the race to relieve themselves, but I was able to watch the whole race. I also found out just how secure the catheter is. I mistakenly put the strap for the leg bag over the connecting tube, effectively pinching it closed. Thankfully I tested it in the privacy of a restroom. When I started to urinate the urine backed up into the catheter and blew it up like a water balloon!! As soon as I undid the leg strap everything drained into the bag, and then I repositioned the strap behind the tube. Anyway, the point is, the catheter didn’t leak a drop and then worked perfectly the rest of the day. This thing works, it doesn’t leak, is comfortable, and it is great to stay in your seat and enjoy the event you paid to see.
Apparently this thing is so great that this cat loved it despite the fact that it “blew it up like a water balloon”. I don’t care how nice it is to not have to walk to the bathroom I wouldn’t be using any product that caused my own piss to blow up on me like a water balloon.
