Urology
Urology is the medical and surgical specialty that focuses on the urinary tract. This involves a wide range of diagnosis and intervention devices in the areas of drainage, incontinence, prostate disease, wound care, and infection control. Typical product families include:
- Intermittent, Indwelling, and External Catheters
- Foley Catheters
- Dilation Catheters
- Urinary Collection Products
- Stool Management Devices
- Urethral Catheters and Stents
- Urinary Incontinence and Irrigation Devices
- Kidney and Stone Management Devices
- Percutaneous Access and Drainage
- Pressure and Temperature Monitoring Devices
- Prostate Ablation Treatment Devices
Material selection, catheter composition, and design are significant factors in minimizing patient discomfort while maximizing device effectiveness. Biomerics biomaterials, antimicrobial solutions, and precision extrusions provide unique solutions for many of these devices. Our material and multi-layer extrusion capabilities enable design engineers to optimize the lubricity, hydrophilicity, strength, chemical resistance, and indwelling softening attributes of a given extrusion.
