Urinary Catheter Safety Device

About CathConnect

CathConnect is addressing a significant unmet need in hospital patient safety: traumatic urinary catheter removal. Their simple, in-line device transforms a standard Foley catheter into a safer system by disconnecting before excessive force causes urethral damage. The company, spun out from the University of Washington, has developed the solution through extensive clinician collaboration and internal testing. It is positioned to reduce hospital stays, lower treatment costs, and improve patient outcomes associated with this frequent complication.
