Transforming Urinary Catheter Care
OUR TECHNOLOGY
InnoCare’s Egress™ Safety Catheter is a breakthrough in patient care as the first urinary safety catheter designed to automatically deflate if pulled out with the balloon inflated. The pulling force activates a secondary deflation mechanism, automatically deflating the balloon prior to forced removal. The device is FDA cleared under a new classification code for “Foley Catheters and Accessories with Additional Safety Features,” the first-ever device under this new code.
FDA ✓
The Egress™ Safety Catheter has been cleared by the FDA under a brand-new product classification code recognizing Foley Catheters and Accessories with Additional Safety Features (SCT).
Seamless
Designed to look and feel like a standard Foley catheter, clinicians can seamlessly integrate the Egress™ Safety Catheter into practice without additional supplies or preparation.
Safer
Patients with cognitive impairments, such as dementia or delirium, are at the highest risk of pulling out their catheters. All patients deserve safety and comfort.
The Design
The Egress™ Safety Catheter has a secondary balloon deflation mechanism in the inflation lumen. The mechanism is inactive unless an external pulling force above the predetermined threshold is applied.
Secondary Deflation
The pulling force activates the secondary deflation mechanism, automatically deflating the balloon prior to forced removal.
The Egress™ Safety Catheter is a breakthrough in patient care as the first-ever FDA-cleared device under a new classification for Foley catheters with safety features.
Designed to look and feel like a standard catheter, it integrates effortlessly into clinical practice without the need for extra supplies. The Egress™ offers a safer solution for high-risk patients with coginitive impairments, providing a necessary advancement for a vulnerable population in need of a secure, dependable alternative to the traditional Foley catheter.
