Learn how, why, and when the Macy Catheter® might be relevant for you or for your loved one.
“I want to tell people who have any type of hesitation to try something new, if they haven’t tried the Macy Catheter– I want to tell them to try it.
If your care provider does not have it, does not know what you are talking about, insist that they look it up. I promise you, you will be doing your loved one a favor and you will be doing yourself a favor.”
