Urinary Retention
Implantica’s Solution, UriRestore™
Implantica’s UriRestore™ is subject to further development and approval process.
UriRestore™ is a remote-controlled device enabling patients who cannot urinate, such as spinal cord injury and MS patients, to urinate on demand using the wireless platform.
UriRestore™ is a remote-controlled device enabling patients with lack of bladder control to empty their bladder on demand.
UriRestore™ is designed to allow spinal cord injury or MS patients to urinate, avoiding to introduce catheters many times per day. Controlled via remote, the patient can initiate urination by pressing a button which mechanically compresses the bladder to empty it2.
After visiting the Swiss paraplegic centre (spinal cord injury patients) they impressed upon us the immense relief UriRestore™ would be for those sufferers – regaining urinary control. UriRestore™ is expected to profoundly improve patients quality of life making an impact on humanity.
UriRestore™ can be combined with UriControl® to provide a near-complete restoration of urinary function.
Catheterization is currently the only option for many urinary retention sufferers. Due to high infection risk, a new catheter must be inserted each time the patient wishes to urinate, approximately 5 times per day. With UriRestore™, controlled via remote, the patient can initate urination by the press of a button.
UriRestore™ can be combined with UriControl® to provide a near-complete restoration of urinary function.
The urinary retention market comprises 100 million paraplegic patients globally1. Of the total US population, 1.7% suffer from paralysis1, with 27.3% of paralysis caused by spinal cord injury1.
