The InnoCare Specialty Foley Catheter is a novel indwelling urinary catheter designed to deflate if forcibly pulled out with the balloon still inflated.
The InnoCare Specialty Foley Catheter uses patented technology to improve the traditional indwelling Foley catheter.
With over 50 companies pitching their technology to investors, InnoCare was selected as the winner of BioFlorida's annual BioPitch competition.
The need for an improved 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.

Injuries caused by Foley pull-outs 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.
Studies show that urethral injuries can cost an average of $6,500 per patient to manage.
