Problem
Traditional urinary catheters can cause discomfort, increase the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), and require significant nursing time for management. The challenges of managing continence care are further amplified by an aging population and increasing demands on healthcare resources.
Solution
Rethink Medical is developing the T-Control® urinary catheter, a novel device designed to improve patient comfort, reduce CAUTIs, and enhance nursing efficiency. The T-Control® catheter incorporates three additional functions beyond standard urinary drainage. These functions aim to address common issues associated with catheter use, such as blockage, leakage, and infection, ultimately leading to a higher quality of life for patients and streamlined workflows for nursing staff. The device is currently undergoing regulatory clearance and is not yet available for commercial sale.
