HOW THE CONNECTED CATHETER WORKS
Current Process is Archaic
Urinary Tract Infections are the leading cause of rehospitalization for people with SCI/D and the current process of catheterization is archaic and medieval. The plastic tube used to drain the bladder is essentially the same as any plastic straw.
The Solution -
A Smart Catheter
Although the Connected Catheter™ utilizes some highly innovative and advanced technologies, our team has taken a problem first approach to solving this issue and are trying to accomplish two primary objectives:
• Indicate when the bladder is full
• Empty the bladder without inserting catheters into the body 5-10x per day.
