UroShield Kit

The UroShield device is a single-patient, extracorporeal accessory to indwelling urinary catheters consisting of a disposable Actuator and a reusable Driver. After the Foley catheter is placed in the patient, the disposable Actuator is clipped on the extracorporeal part of the catheter and then connected to the reusable Driver through the Actuator’s cable connector and Driver’s cable socket connection. When the Driver is turned on, the Actuator creates surface acoustic waves that propagate on the catheter surface. The UroShield surface acoustic waves reduce bacterial adhesion on the catheter surface, thereby designed to minimize the risk of CAUTI (Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections).
