Executive Summary
Compared with conventional urinary catheters, which require an external collection bag or an intermittent catheter inserted multiple times daily, the Surinate Bladder Management system from Urovalve Inc. could significantly improve the plight of men suffering from acute or chronic urinary retention. The device is designed to empower patients to manage their condition discreetly, thanks to a magnetic valve that passively closes the urethra to prevent urine leakage and can be opened with a handheld external magnet to empty the bladder.
