A shorts-type undergarment with an inner pocket (1) secured to the waistband (6) having a U-shaped cutout (2) where the
flange (8a) of an ostomy bag (8c) is situated. Said inner pocket (1) is attached to the waistband (6) and holds and ostomy bag (8c). At the bottom of the inner pocket (1) is a horizontal strip of oppositely mated Velcro strips (9) which can be detached to allow the exit of the bag's tube to dispose of the accumulated bodily fluids. It has two vertical openings on the front of the shorts. The first opening, 4, is located at the bottom of the
crotch and extends upward. This opening, 4, allows for the
insertion of a
catheter. The second opening, is an access panel, 1, which is opened by pulling back a long vertical strip of Velcro(R), 3, attached to a corresponding strip of oppositely mated Velcro(R), 2, which horizontally extends partially across one front side. The patient is able to retain a high degree of modesty and dignity, when the
catheter is attended to by medical personnel. Since the
catheter is secured, in a straight pathway, there is a decreased likelihood the patient will develop secondary medical complications like urinary tract infections, discomfort and
irritation associated with a catheter which is not properly secured.
