Reducing Catheter Associated Infections
UroShield uses breakthrough ultrasound nano-technology to prevent Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in patients with long-term indwelling urinary catheters

See how UroShield works
UroShield is a small, external medical device that has been developed to prevent bacterial biofilm formation on both urethral and suprapubic catheters by means of low-frequency/low-intensity ultrasound waves that it generates.
The action of the ultrasonic waves on the surfaces of the catheter interfere with the attachment of bacteria, prevent infections developing, reduce catheter encrustations and blockages and decrease or eliminate the need for antibiotics. In addition, UroShield decreases the pain, discomfort and spasm associated with indwelling urinary catheters. All these characteristics make UroShield a breakthrough device to prevent or treat catheter related harm.
Leading UK Urologist Mr Chris Ogden Discusses UroShield
Leading UK Urologist, Mr Chris Ogden, gives insight into life with a catheter and the host of associated complications. These include recurrent Urinary Tract Infections, catheter blockages, bladder spasms, and catheter-related pain and discomfort. He discusses the current treatments available, and the evidence from recent UroShield trials which show a significant reduction in infections in those patients suffering from recurrent UTIs. Mr Ogden mentions how NHS trust across the country continue to use and evaluate the device, and in turn patients are experiencing an increase in quality of life.
