Thank you, Janet. We are glad the ordering process was easy and that your order arrived on time.

RA Fischer Co. is a family-owned medical device company with more than 75 years of history helping patients and caregivers access practical, non-invasive treatment solutions. Our focus is simple: provide trusted products, clear guidance, and real support for conditions that can deeply affect comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Our core products include The Fischer, an FDA-cleared iontophoresis device for treating hyperhidrosis, and The PureWick™ System, a non-invasive at-home solution for managing female urinary incontinence. The Fischer helps treat excessive sweating of the hands, feet, and underarms using tap water and a mild electrical current to temporarily reduce sweat production. Designed for at-home use, The Fischer features non-metal silicon-graphite electrodes, customizable Direct and Pulsed Current settings, an intuitive interface, and configurations for hands, feet, underarms, or all three. RA Fischer Co. also helps patients navigate insurance coverage for The Fischer. Coverage depends on the patient's provider and plan, but our team assists with prescription collection, documentation, benefit verification, and claims support to make the process easier. For urinary incontinence, RA Fischer Co. supports patients using the PureWick™ System, which uses a soft external wick and gentle suction to draw urine away from the body into a sealed canister. For eligible patients, Medicare Part B may cover monthly PureWick™ wick refills, and our team helps with eligibility verification, documentation, and refill coordination. From treatment education to insurance guidance and ongoing product support, RA Fischer Co. is committed to helping patients feel more comfortable, confident, and in control at home.

Fot the most part they work good. They seem not to stay in a flexed position. But, it's manageable with a little help.
Response from RA Fischer Co.Jul 9, 2026
Thank you for your review, Genella. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the wicks and are glad to hear they are working well overall. While we do not manufacture the PureWick wicks, we hope our team made the ordering and insurance-related process as easy as possible.

So far so good. .... However I think I am allergic to the vinyl around the catheter. ... I'm getting a rash down there. Has anyone else complained?
Response from RA Fischer Co.May 4, 2026
Thank you for your review. We're glad things have been good so far, but we're sorry to hear about the rash. Skin irritation can happen for different reasons, so we recommend stopping use and checking with your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Please also contact our customer service team so we can learn more and help review your product options.

Still in process of getting a Purewick covered by Medicare. To its credit, RA Fischer is one of the few companies who attempt to do so on the patient’s behalf. Understanding and meeting the documentation requirements for coverage has been a work in progress, resulting in delays. I would credit the company highly for tenaciousness in the pursuit of coverage over a period of months, but less highly for keeping those of us out there waiting for long periods without an update. Ultimately, this is a company who is attempting to do something that other companies aren’t, which is to help patients get needed medical devices covered by insurance, and that is commendable. I am hopeful that the investment of time and effort on everyone’s part will result in the best possible outcome in our case, which is to get this needed device and have it covered by insurance.

We completely understand your frustration and apologize for your experience so far. We know how vital it is to receive timely medical support, especially when it impacts a loved one’s well-being. The Purewick has been on the market for years, but Medicare coverage only recently became an option. Since the coding was approved earlier this year, we’ve been among the first to tackle this complicated process. It’s required building everything from scratch, learning through trial and error, and facing numerous denials before we could get successful outcomes for patients. Adding to the challenge, our family-owned DME company has seen an overwhelming influx of thousands of new patient requests. We've done our best to keep up by hiring more Treatment Specialists, but even with this added support, the volume has created longer processing times. We recognize that our service has not met your expectations, and it’s clear we have improvements to make. We are committed to doing better in the future if given the opportunity. We know we should have communicated with you more effectively and kept you in the loop. Your concerns are valid, and we are incredibly sorry for the distress and inconvenience this has caused. If there’s anything we can do to assist until we ship and file for your equipment, please don’t hesitate to let us know. You can reach us at (800) 525-3467. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to hear from you soon.

Despite a LONG journey trying to get reimbursement from insurance, the effort finally paid off. Aetna covered the equipment in full. My 17 year old has suffered tremendously from hyperhidrosis on her feet and hands. The equipment has been a lifesaver and we've had tremendous success. Only 4 stars as it took constant calls to RA Fischer for updates on the insurance claim over a 4 month period. Would have liked more proactive updates on their part, but it worked out in the end. And for that we are grateful.

Hi Stacey, thanks for taking the time to share your experience! Yes, insurance companies can certainly drag out the process sometimes. Our Treatment Specialists always call with updates when we have them, but you are right, sometimes those updates from the insurance side are few and far between. We'll work to be more proactive next time. So glad to hear the device is working for you though! Please reach out if there's anything else we can help with : )

They gave me new cords and shipped it back without charging me anything. The next time this happened, years later, Dan talked to me multiple times: troubleshooting the machine, sending me new cords, and giving me all my options. I ended up upgrading to The Fischer: Hands and Feet.
