T-CONTROL

 Foley catheters are flexible tubes fixed into the bladder thanks to a balloon and attached to a urine collection bag in the external end. Catheters are used at hospital and out-patients level as well. They offer a solution for some basic continece-related problems, but do not satisfy patients, health professionals or authorities 100 % due to:
  • Frequent catheter blockage
  • High risk of infection
  • Disconnection, leakage of urine
  • High risk of exposure to biological contaminants for health care professionals
  • Loss of bladder reflex
  • Secondary infections
  • Dependence of the collection bag , with its negative consequences to the patient's quality of life
  • Contamination of the urine sample during sample collection
  • Stress and bad practices

What is it about?

T-Control  is a Foley catheter, which  -based on patient needs- permits to close the flow of urine without the use of any collection bag. In case of necessity, it is also compatible with any type of collection bag for periods of need.

Apart from that, it  has an integrated  special valve that enhances aseptic insertion technique.

This  innovative product aims at resolving all the above-mentioned problems produced by conventional bladder catheters.
