InnoCare Urologics

The InnoCare Egress Specialty Catheter is the only indwelling urinary catheter designed to rapidly deflate if accidentally removed. 

The need for a safer urinary drainage catheter has been in the clinical conversation for years. Accidental pull-outs and self-extractions cause significant patient harm and place an increased strain on the healthcare system. 

Studies show that 5% of urinary catheters in the ICU are accidentally pulled out, leading to a variety of injuries. Patients with a cognitive impairment are more likely to pull out their catheters.

Foley pull-out injuries place an increased strain on the healthcare system and its stakeholders. Surgical repair, resource requirements, and extended hospital stay lead to additional burden and fatigue on physicians and nursing staff.
