Urinary Retention

Implantica’s Solution, UriRestore™

Implantica’s UriRestore™ is subject to further development and approval process and is not yet on the market.

UriRestore™ is designed as 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 designed as 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 introducing catheters many times per day to empty the Urinary bladder. Controlled via remote, the patient can initiate urination.

After visiting the Swiss paraplegic centre (spinal cord injury patients) they impressed upon us the immense relief UriRestore™ could be for those sufferers – regaining urinary control. UriRestore™ could have the potential  to profoundly improve patients quality of life .

UriRestore™ can be combined with UriControl^® to potentially 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™, designed to be controlled via remote, the patient could initiate urination by the press of a button.

UriRestore™ can be combined with UriControl^® to potentially 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.
