Everything you want to know about EZ-P™.

You haven't heard of it because it didn't exist before. EZ-P™ is a genuinely new product — the first purpose-built, patented bladder management system designed specifically for women who use wheelchairs. Nothing like it existed commercially before Clarion Care brought it to market.

The reason it works is simple: it was designed by someone who needed it. Crystal Anderson — co-founder and wheelchair user — is the origin of EZ-P™. It was built out of personal experience with what didn't work, and iterated until something did.

Our Founding User Program completed with zero adverse events, a 95–100% reported quality-of-life improvement, and a 5/5 satisfaction rating. Every participant rated EZ-P™ as their #1 preferred method over every alternative they'd previously used.

Individual results may vary. Outcomes from Founding User Program do not constitute a clinical trial result or FDA efficacy claim.

Because none of those things were designed for you — not for a woman, not for a wheelchair user, not for seated anatomy, not for public mobility.

Catheters are designed for stationary, clinical settings. Adult briefs are designed for passive, bedridden situations. Toilet transfers are a workaround, not a solution — and they require an accessible bathroom that may not exist wherever you happen to be.

EZ-P™ is the first product purpose-engineered for your exact situation: a woman, seated, mobile, in public, who wants to manage her bladder with dignity and without dependency. Every other solution was borrowed from somewhere else and adapted poorly.

Every Founding User Program participant had tried all of those alternatives before EZ-P™ — and every single one chose EZ-P™ as their new #1. That's not a marketing claim — it's what they told us, and we take it seriously.

This is one of the most common — and most heartbreaking — things we hear from wheelchair users: they limit how much they drink throughout the day to avoid needing to use the restroom, because using it is so difficult.

Chronic dehydration in wheelchair users causes kidney stress, concentrated urine that increases infection risk, fatigue, and reduced cognitive function. It's a genuinely serious health consequence of a broken system.

EZ-P™ is designed to remove that reason entirely. When going to the bathroom is as simple as sitting normally and going — wherever you are — there's no reason to restrict fluids.

Yes — and this is one of the most powerful outcomes our Founding User Program participants reported.

The anxiety around being away from home — constantly calculating how long you can go without fluids, whether an accessible bathroom exists at your destination, whether you'll need to cut an outing short — shapes every decision. It limits where you go, how long you stay, whether you say yes to things.

When you know you can manage your bladder from your chair, wherever you are, that calculus changes completely.

Clarion Care, LLC is a medical device company based in Valdosta, Georgia. We exist with a single mission: to solve the problem no one else was solving for women wheelchair users.

EZ-P™ was created by Wes Anderson, CEO, and his wife Crystal — a wheelchair user who lived the problem that EZ-P™ solves. The device is protected by U.S. Patent US12,011,402 B2 and registered as an FDA-Registered Class I Medical Device.

We are a small, focused company — which means when you email us, you hear back from a real person. Every unit we ship matters deeply to us, because we know the woman receiving it has been waiting a long time for something that actually works.

EZ-P™ is a patented wheelchair cushion with an integrated anatomical funnel and sealed drainage pathway — purpose-built for women who use wheelchairs. You sit on it like a regular cushion. When you need to urinate, gravity does the work: fluid flows through the funnel, through a sealed drainage channel, and into a discreet privacy bag attached to your wheelchair frame.

No power. No pump. No catheters. No transfers. No briefs. Just go — wherever you are.

This is one of the most common questions — and the answer is in how EZ-P™ is designed to be used.

EZ-P™ is designed to be worn directly against your skin — meaning you sit on the cushion without underwear or pants covering the funnel opening. The anatomical funnel is positioned directly at your urethral opening, so when you urinate, fluid enters the funnel immediately and routes downward through the sealed drainage pathway — never contacting your clothing.

Most users wear a skirt, dress, or adapted pants that allow easy access to the funnel while seated. The system works best with garments that don't cover the funnel opening — which is why we're also developing an EZ-P™ compatible adaptive clothing line designed specifically for this purpose.

No — and this is an important distinction. EZ-P™ is not a pad, brief, or absorbent product. You do not sit in wetness.

When you urinate, fluid flows immediately away from your skin through the anatomical funnel and sealed drainage pathway, into a discreet collection bag attached to your wheelchair frame. The funnel and pathway are designed so that urine does not pool, sit against your skin, or contact your clothing.

Think of it less like a diaper and more like a gravity-driven drainage system — one that happens to be built into your cushion. The goal is the same as a toilet: fluid goes in, fluid drains away, you stay clean and dry.

• No wetness against your skin during or after normal use
• No odor from sitting in fluid — urine routes away immediately
• No wiping required in most cases — the funnel geometry minimizes residual
• No one around you will know — the collection bag is discreet and frame-mounted

The experience is designed to be as close to normal, dignified restroom use as possible — just without needing a restroom.

In most cases, there is no need to wipe at all. The funnel geometry and gravity work together to route urine directly away from your skin and into the sealed drainage pathway, leaving minimal to no residual.

If any residual remains, you have a few options:

• Wipe yourself or have your caregiver assist — just as you would with any other method.
• Wait until the end of the day when you remove or clean the cushion — most users find this is sufficient.

The EZ-P™ cushion itself is not a disposable. It is built for daily use over years. You're not throwing anything away every day.

The one consumable in the system is the urine collection bag — a standard catheter drainage bag — which attaches to your wheelchair frame and receives drained fluid. These bags require periodic replacement, just as they would in any catheter-adjacent drainage system. They are widely available, inexpensive, and covered by many insurance plans.

Odor control is one of the most important design principles of EZ-P™ — and it performs well when used correctly.

Because urine flows immediately through a sealed, enclosed drainage pathway into a closeable privacy bag, it is not sitting against your skin or in an open pad the way adult briefs are. The key to minimal odor: empty the collection bag regularly, keep the drainage pathway clean, and maintain normal hydration.

• Empty the bag when it's approximately half to two-thirds full — don't allow it to sit for extended periods.
• Stay hydrated. Concentrated urine has a stronger odor. Ironically, drinking more water — something many wheelchair users restrict to avoid bathroom trips — actually reduces odor. EZ-P™ removes the reason to restrict fluids.
• Sanitize the drainage system periodically with rubbing alcohol — simple and fast. See cleaning instructions below.

With proper use, EZ-P™ is significantly more discreet and odor-controlled than adult briefs — and carries none of the skin-saturation odor associated with incontinence pads.

EZ-P™ is designed for easy daily hygiene. The silicone funnel and TPU drainage pathway can be rinsed and wiped clean. The cover assembly is removable and washable. Full care instructions are included with every unit.

To sanitize the drainage system, simply flush or wipe the funnel and drainage pathway with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). This quickly kills bacteria and neutralizes odor-causing residue — no special cleaners needed. Allow to air-dry briefly before use.

The drainage bag should be emptied and rinsed regularly and replaced periodically — exactly as you would with a standard catheter bag.

You may never need to — and that's by design. The funnel is fully sealed, so fluid is routed away from the cushion interior entirely. There is no pathway for liquid to reach the inside of the cushion during normal use.

We also made a deliberate choice to eliminate foam from EZ-P™ altogether. Foam absorbs liquid over time, breaks down, and becomes a hygiene problem that's difficult to solve. Instead, EZ-P™ uses a food-grade polymer core and medical-grade gel materials — both non-absorbent and fully water-washable. If you ever need to clean the cushion interior, a simple rinse with water is all it takes. No washing machine. No dryer. No special products.

The outer cover can be wiped down with a damp cloth for everyday maintenance, or removed and hand-washed periodically when needed. It air-dries quickly.

The EZ-P™ is designed for all-day wear — you do not need to remove it or interrupt your day between uses. At the end of each day, do the following:

• Empty and rinse the drainage bag with warm water, then leave the cap open to air dry.
• Flush the silicone funnel with warm water from above and wipe any visible surfaces with a damp cloth.
• Flush warm water through the TPU drainage tube until it runs clear.
• Wipe the quick connector exterior with a damp cloth.
• If the cushion cover has any exterior soiling, wipe with a damp cloth — or remove and machine wash on a gentle cold cycle and air dry.

This routine takes just a few minutes and keeps your EZ-P™ fresh and hygienic for your next day of use.

We recommend a full deep clean at least once per week, or more often during heavy use. The deep clean uses an enzymatic soak followed by a disinfectant rinse and takes about 20–30 minutes including drying time.

What you'll need: warm water, mild dish soap or enzymatic cleaner (e.g., Alconox or Seventh Generation Free & Clear), and either 3% hydrogen peroxide or 70% isopropyl alcohol.

• Disassemble the drainage system and pre-rinse all fluid-contact components with warm water.
• Soak in diluted dish soap or enzymatic cleaner for 10–15 minutes, working it through the tube interior.
• Rinse thoroughly, then disinfect with 3% hydrogen peroxide or 70% isopropyl alcohol for 1–2 minutes of contact time.
• Final rinse with clean water, then air dry completely before reassembling.

Safe to use on all EZ-P™ components:

• Warm water
• Mild dish soap or enzymatic cleaner (fragrance-free preferred)
• 3% hydrogen peroxide (standard drugstore strength)
• 70% isopropyl alcohol
• 10% bleach solution — 1 part household bleach to 9 parts water, freshly mixed (for contamination events only)
• White vinegar (for machine-washing the cushion cover)

We appreciate you asking — this is a real, practical concern and deserves a real, honest answer.

The EZ-P™ is designed for bladder management only. The silicone funnel and sealed drainage pathway route urine away — fecal matter would not enter the drainage system. It contacts the outer surface of the funnel or cushion cover, not the interior pathway.

The EZ-P™ does not make this situation harder to manage than a standard cushion. And because its materials are non-absorbent and fully washable, cleanup is actually more straightforward than with foam-based alternatives.

What to do component by component:

• Cushion cover: Remove and machine wash immediately — hot water, full cycle, add 1 cup white vinegar. Air dry.
• Silicone funnel & drainage tube: Flush with warm water immediately, then enzymatic soak for 15 minutes, then disinfect with a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water). Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. No replacement needed if this protocol is followed.
• Quick connectors: Wipe and disinfect if smooth-bore. If they have internal threading or crevices that can't be fully reached and flushed, replace them.
• Drainage bag: Replace. The drainage bag interior is not reliably resanitizable after fecal contamination. Discard and swap in a fresh bag.

For guidance specific to your bowel management routine, your occupational therapist or care team is the best resource.

Inspect all components during your weekly cleaning. Here's what to watch for:

• Silicone funnel: Replace if you see cracks, tears, persistent staining, or odor that won't clear after a full clean. Routine replacement: approximately every 12 months.
• TPU drainage tube: Replace if it kinks and won't recover, becomes cloudy, or has buildup or odor that flushing can't clear. Routine replacement: every 6–12 months.
• Drainage bag: Replace every 3–6 months under normal use, or immediately after any fecal contamination event or visible seal failure.
• Quick connectors: Replace if cracked, leaking, or if internal crevices prevent thorough cleaning.
• Cushion cover: Replace if seams tear, the funnel aperture distorts, or staining/odor persists after washing. Routine replacement: approximately every 12 months.

EZ-P™'s funnel geometry — a 4.20" internal diameter anatomically positioned for seated female pelvic geometry — is designed to work for the majority of female wheelchair users across a wide range of body types and diagnoses, including SCI, MS, MD, stroke, and cerebral palsy.

That said, we know every body is different, and we don't want you guessing. Before you order, we recommend completing our User Fit Guide — a quick questionnaire that confirms compatibility for your specific situation.

We built this tool specifically so fit uncertainty is never a reason not to try EZ-P™.

Possibly — and the best way to find out is through our Fit Guide and, if needed, a direct consultation with our team. We will not recommend EZ-P™ if we don't believe it will genuinely work for your situation.

Our honest commitment to you: if EZ-P™ isn't right for your anatomy or setup, we'll tell you — and we won't take your money.

Yes — this is on our product roadmap, and feedback like yours is exactly what shapes it.

Women with complex scoliosis often have significant pelvic obliquity or rotational positioning that affects how a standard cushion seats against their anatomy. The current EZ-P™ design works well for a wide range of body types, but we know it is not the right fit for every complex postural situation — and we won't pretend otherwise.

Our Phase II R&D plan includes development of contoured and configurable cushion variants to extend EZ-P™ compatibility to users with complex seating needs — including significant scoliosis, pelvic obliquity, and non-standard positioning.

In the meantime, we recommend completing the Fit Guide — complex cases are routed to a personal consultation with our team, and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether the current design is likely to work for your specific situation.

EZ-P™ is designed to work with both manual and power wheelchairs. The cushion sits on your seat surface the same way any wheelchair cushion would — and the drainage bag attaches discreetly to your chair frame.

A few power wheelchair-specific considerations:

• Seat depth and width: Power wheelchairs often have specific seat dimensions — confirm your seat size against our size guide before ordering to ensure proper funnel alignment.
• Tilt and recline systems: If your power chair has a tilt-in-space or recline feature, note that significant recline angles may affect drainage efficiency, as EZ-P™ relies on gravity. The system works best in an upright or slightly reclined seated position.
• Drainage bag placement: The collection bag mounts to the frame — power chair frames vary in configuration, but the bag's attachment system is flexible. If you have a specific frame configuration, email us and we'll confirm compatibility.
• Armrest and lateral support clearance: If your power chair has close-fitting lateral trunk supports or custom seating hardware, the Fit Guide will help determine if any adjustments are needed.

We designed EZ-P™ to be as accessible as possible. Here's every pathway available to you right now:

• Scholarship Program — We reserve one EZ-P™ unit per cohort at no cost for a woman who would genuinely benefit but faces financial hardship. No formal application, no judgment. Apply here.
• HSA / FSA Eligible — As an FDA-Registered Class I Medical Device, EZ-P™ may qualify for purchase using your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator.
• Payment Plan — We want to work with you. If a payment plan would make EZ-P™ possible, email info@clarion-care.com and let's talk.
• Long-Term Cost Comparison — EZ-P™ at $599 replaces an ongoing monthly spend on adult briefs, catheter kits, and caregiver hours. Many users recover the full cost within 1–2 months in saved caregiver time alone.

We offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If EZ-P™ doesn't genuinely improve your bladder management experience after a fair trial period, we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.

We don't want you paying for something that doesn't help you.

We are actively working on HCPCS reimbursement coding, which is the pathway that allows DME (durable medical equipment) items to be billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Once established, EZ-P™ can be prescribed by a physician or OT/PT and covered as a reimbursed medical device.

In the meantime, HSA and FSA funds are the most direct payment pathway for most users. EZ-P™ may also be eligible under certain VA benefits for qualifying veterans — contact us and we can help explore options for your situation.

We'll update this page as insurance coverage pathways expand.

At $599, EZ-P™ feels like a significant purchase. But when you stack it against what you're already spending — in real dollars and real time — the math changes quickly.

What you're already paying every month:

• Adult briefs / incontinence pads: $50–$150/month depending on frequency and brand. Over a year that's $600–$1,800 — more than the cost of EZ-P™ in the first year alone.
• Catheter supplies (intermittent): $150–$400/month for catheters, drainage bags, insertion supplies, and lubricant. Many users catheterize 4–6 times daily. That's $1,800–$4,800 per year.
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs): UTIs are among the most common complications for wheelchair users, particularly catheter users. A single treated UTI — including urgent care or ER visit, antibiotics, and follow-up — averages $300–$1,500 out of pocket. Recurring UTIs can cost thousands annually and carry serious long-term health risks.
• Professional caregiver time for bathroom assistance: At $20–$25/hr, a single assisted toilet transfer (30–60 min including setup, transfer, and repositioning) costs $10–$25 each time. For users requiring 3–4 transfers per day, that's $900–$2,250/month in caregiver time — just for bathroom trips.
• Family caregiver time: Even if a family member provides care at no direct cost, the time is real. 30–80 minutes per day of caregiver time devoted to bathroom management adds up to 180–490 hours per year.

Beyond dollars, consider the time. Women who use EZ-P™ report reclaiming 30–80 minutes every day that was previously consumed by transfers, accidents, and recovery. Over a year, that's hundreds of hours returned to your life.

Cost estimates based on publicly available data for incontinence supplies, catheter kits, professional home care rates, and UTI treatment costs. Individual costs vary. Caregiver time savings based on Founding User Program outcomes.

Bathroom management is one of the most physically demanding, time-consuming, and emotionally complicated tasks in wheelchair care. EZ-P™ changes that equation significantly.

Time saved, every single day. Assisted toilet transfers typically consume 30–60 minutes per trip. EZ-P™ eliminates most of those trips.

Physical injury risk eliminated. The lifting, pivoting, and supporting involved in toilet transfers put caregivers at real risk of back and shoulder injury. EZ-P™ removes that risk entirely.

Reduced caregiver burnout. EZ-P™ restores dignity and privacy for the user — which meaningfully reduces the emotional burden on caregivers too.

Absolutely. Positioning EZ-P™ on the chair, attaching the drainage bag, and emptying the collection bag periodically can all be done by a caregiver — and are simple tasks compared to the physical demands of transfer-based bathroom assistance. Full instructions are included with every unit.
