  2. For people with indwelling or suprapubic catheters, frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), blockages and pain/discomfort are common issues. However, new medical technology like UroShield is changing that. UroShield is a device that attaches to the indwelling or suprapubic catheter and provides protection and greatly improves patients’ comfort, experience and quality of life. This piece of writing explores how the UroShield catheter protection kit is changing the game in catheter care by reducing catheter associated UTIs (CAUTIs) and improving patient comfort.

  3. Why UTIs Happen with Catheters Catheter users are prone to UTIs. It is due to the bacteria that colonises and adheres to the catheter creating a biofilm. The moment this biofilm is established, the standard solution is antibiotics and replacement of the catheter. The infection can cause complications for the patient if left untreated, such as sepsis. Most people end up needing antibiotics again and again. Sometimes, it results in prolonged hospital stays.

  4. How UroShield Helps The UroShield catheter protection system uses low frequency surface acoustic waves (SAW). Bacteria moves away and doesn’t colonise therefore the biofilm doesn’t form. When bacteria do not colonise (multiply) the result is fewer infections and fewer complications.

  5. Why Blockages Happen with Catheters Sediment often sits in the bladder and urinary tract, we often don’t notice it and it passes through with little or no issues. When a catheter is in position this same sediment can sometimes build up and crystalise, making it too large to pass through the catheter. The result, Catheter blockage meaning the patient cannot pass water and left untreated will suffer urinary retention which is not only painful but dangerous. Sometimes, resulting in prolonged hospital stays

  6. How UroShield Helps The vibrations created by the surface acoustic waves knock the sediment off of the catheter allowing it to pass through the catheter in smaller pieces allowing the eyelet in the catheter to remain clear and therefore reducing and mostly stopping all catheter blockages (over time) Here’s what users have noticed: Fewer UTIs Fewer Blockages (best case no blockages) Less pain and fewer bladder spasms Better urine flow Catheters last longer This device doesn’t just treat symptoms—it stops the problem before it begins.

  9. Comfort Matters Infections are a big issue, but so is comfort. Regular catheters can cause pain and irritation. UroShield helps with that too. It keeps The surface acoustic waves create a small vibration stopping the catheter adhering to the urethra which in turn reduces pain and discomfort. Users feel better, visit the hospital less, and enjoy more freedom in their daily life.
