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.

filled out reorder last week and never received wicks we ranout and had to buy off line
By Sarah B.
Our vacuum pump not pulling the urine from the wick and tubing. It gurgles all night and patient is wet. A gauge shows less than 20 mmHg, package calls for 40 mmHg. I messaged the catheter monthly supplier, they called me, and we went over the problem. I asked for a replacement pump unit, as it is a rental. I asked there be no break in user usage during the replacement/return process, for obvious reasons. The person on the phone said she would have someone from their collection system supplier would call me. They have not, or if they did, they left no message or caller ID on our phone to identify themselves, or tried to call us again. The gurgling/wetness problem continues.

Charlotte, thank you for explaining what has been happening. We're sorry you've been left waiting for a resolution while the problem continues. Our team is going to look into this & make sure the appropriate person follows up with you directly.
It’s unsanitary to not replace the tubing and only offer to replace it at $85 as a set. Cannot afford it. Unsafe. Tubing would cost cents, zero sense!!

Hi Marilyn, we're sorry for the frustration. We understand your concern about needing replacement tubing & the cost of purchasing an accessory kit out of pocket. Our team is reviewing your account because there may be an insurance-covered replacement option available, and we'll be contacting you soon to see what we can do.
I've had the Purewick for two months. I called because the connector on the end of the hose that attaches to the wick became disconnected. The hose is still usable, but the risk of the hose becoming disconnected, especially while sleeping, has greatly increased. I was told that since it was not yet time for the Medicare-paid hose replacement, I would have to pay out of pocket. I asked why I would have to pay for something that broke after two months of use. Agent said she would have to contact another department to see if they could do anything, but they were closed at the time. This is ridiculous. The correct response to this type of call is, "I'm sorry. We will send out a replacement hose immediately." Customer service is dead.

Hi Luci, we're very sorry that this wasn't resolved during your initial call. We understand why having a hose connection fail after only two months would be frustrating, especially when the equipment is otherwise usable. Our team is reviewing the situation and will continue working with you directly toward a resolution. Thank you!
Still waiting for replacement tubes for our unit!!!

Elsie, thank you for sharing your concerns. We are sorry to hear that your recent experience with our phone support and the timing of your reorders has been frustrating. We appreciate your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to look into your concerns directly.
I live in Israel and ordered the machine to help sweaty hands and feet. the website said it would be 6-10 business days for international expedited shipping - which I paid for. This was 5 and a half weeks ago. I reached out to the company and said I want a refund. They said they would open an investigation with the USPS and get back to me. I replied that I want a refund, not an investigation. They have so far not gotten back in touch with me, although more than a week has passed. I opened a dispute with my credit card company. I hope this will all be sorted out - but it is extremely frustrating - and shows VERY poor customer service.

Tzipora, we apologize for the inconvenience and understand how frustrating it is to wait much longer than expected for an international shipment. The tracking information still shows the package moving through the postal network, but we recognize that does not change the difficulty of your experience. We have refunded your order, and we apologize for the inconvenience and for not providing the level of communication you expected.
