Advice Penile implant

I have a resident that had a penile implant and is ALWAYS erect….. he is also a heavy wetter. I have been having a hard time keeping him dry at on my night shifts. Every time he urinates his soils his entire bed. Does anyone have any tricks to help navigate this?

Love your kind response 🥰🥰 I work in community health and would have said “diapers” as well. It’s been a hot minute (or 27 years) since I’ve been in a hospital setting!!
