Catheters suck, but they’re a necessary evil for men who want to know if they have benign prostatic hyperplasia (quickie Giz diagnosis: you’re cancer-free, but pee six times an hour). And in addition to excruciating tube-down-your-johnson pain, the catheter also carries with it the potential for infection. The process could be changing soon, however, thanks to researcher Tim Idzenga. Basically, the Dutchman will diagnose BPH by listening to your business with a microphone.
You know why I never wanna have a heart attack or prostate problems? The catheter. You know which one I’m talking about. Just the thought makes my junk burn. Enter this year’s truly deserving Medical Design Excellence award winner, the GeeWhiz Condom Catheter. No more tubes twisted and crammed into tiny holes they don’t belong in. GeeWhiz is leak proof, requires no adhesives and is easy to slip on or off. And did we mention the nurse doesn’t have to jam a tube into your cock? Invention of the year. [Medgadget]
