Problem
Internal urinary catheters can lead to catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) due to their invasive nature. Existing external catheters often rely on adhesives that can cause skin irritation and breakdown, and may not be suitable for all patients, including pediatric cases. Patients with limited mobility or those requiring assistance with toileting face challenges in maintaining hygiene and comfort during bladder management.
Solution
Ur24Technology provides the TrueClr™ External Catheter System, a non-invasive solution for managing urinary retention and incontinence in men, women, and pediatric patients. This FDA Class 1 device actively empties the bladder using a continuous drainage mechanism, reducing the risk of CAUTIs associated with internal catheters. The system is non-adhesive, portable, and easy to apply, promoting user comfort and hygiene. Its latex-free and hypoallergenic design avoids urine contact with the skin, minimizing irritation and inflammation.
Target Audience
The primary users are individuals with urinary retention or incontinence, caregivers assisting patients with bladder management, and healthcare providers in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
