Overcoming risks and complications of UI
In line with evidence-based practice, Urinary Incontinence management with the UriCap Female can reduce the number of catheterizations, promoting a higher level of comfort and dignity for the patient.
- Use of indwelling catheters contributes significantly to urinary tract infections (UTIs), the most common type of healthcare-associated infection reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network².
How the UriCap Female can help you:
- External device, no CAUTI risk
- Seals urethral opening from surrounding area
- Alternative to catheterization
- No sterile procedure required
- Enables non-invasive monitoring of urine output
- Mid Stream Clean Catch (MSCC) urine sampling often not possible with incontinent women leading to increased catheterisation rate. Difficulty in obtaining a MSCC urine sample in incontinent women leads to empirical use of antibiotics when 50% ususally have no growth.
How the UriCap Female can help you:
- No sterile straight catheterization procedure required
- Minimized risk of UTI and CAUTI in vulnerable populations
- Reduced contamination rates compared to the golden standard MSCC.
- Facilitates proper UTI diagnosis for appropriate use of antibiotics
- A high-risk of developing Incontinence Asociated Dermatitis (IAD) and/or moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) for patients suffering from incontinence.
How the UriCap Female can help you:
- Prevents the toxic urine contact with skin and excess moisture.
- No suction, no glue, no tape required.
- Falls represent an important and increasing public health concern as many result in serious injuries, pain, depression, and other comorbidities requiring medical attention.
- One study determined an overall odds ratio of 63% for recurrent falls and a probability excess odds ratio of 65% among people with urinary incontinence compared to those without.
How the UriCap Female can help you:
- Reducing the risk of falls, UriCap is replaced daily, and can be used for up to 24 hours, or, for nighttime use as a fall prevention measure
- Urine management plays a large role in the workflow of any hospital, nursing home or rehab facility.
- A shortage of staff and the lack of suitable alternatives and proper training lead to stress and ultimately bear a negative impact on the quality of care and the health of health providers and caregivers.
How the UriCap Female can help you:
- Quick and easy to apply and remove.
- Reduces need for heavy lifting.
- Independent Value Analysis has shown that removing 300 catheters and replacing them with the UriCap Female has a 15X ROI in a hospital.
- UI and UTI is a main reason for admission of women to cared facilities. Keeping the patient at home longer saves money for the payer.
- Reduces cost of adult diapers and decreases cost for waste, laundry and need for shelf space.
- Reduces night-time visits of staff for diaper change during Advanced Care at Home.
