UroShield - Urology Therapy Device
UroShield is a urology therapy device that is composed of two components: Disposable Clip – Intended for single use and to be discarded with catheter replacement. Driver – A portable unit (AC or battery powered) that provides power to the disposable clip. The ultrasonic waves generated by the clip create an acoustic shield on the surfaces of the catheter to interfere with the attachment of bacteria, prevent bacterial biofilm formation, the development of infections and may eliminate or reduce the need for antibiotics.
UroShield is designed to:
UroShield is designed to:
- Prevents biofilm formation
- Decreases bacteriuria/UTI
- Reduces catheter pain and discomfort
- Increases antibiotic efficacy
The clip-on UroShield urology therapy device can be attached to all external urinary tract catheters providing potential relief from spasm and catheter pain.
Designed to Prevent
Indwelling urinary catheters are a common device used by clinicians to resolve urinary retention problems. Regardless of the material the catheter is made of, bacteria will adhere to its surface and within a short period of time will colonize to form a biofilm that will contaminate the catheter surface. This biofilm dramatically increases the risk of the patient acquiring a Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI). UroShield is a disposable ultrasound device designed to reduce biofilm, this is accomplished by generating and propagating low frequency low intensity ultrasonic energy throughout the catheter.
Ultrasound interferes with the bacteria’s touch sensors discouraging bacterial docking on the catheter and leading to reduction of bacterial colonization and biofilm, thereby reducing risk of CAUTI. UroShield can be attached to any indwelling urinary catheter, transforming it into a therapeutic device. The Uroshield can relieve Foley catheter pain, reduce urinary tract infections, alleviate spasms, and help any inconveniences caused by the use of any type of indwelling urinary catheter.
