Why doctors, caregivers, and patients choose Ur24T TrueClr™ external catheters
Doctors
TrueClr external catheters may be useful in medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, benign prostatic hypertrophy (does not include a significant obstruction), Parkinson’s disease, diabetes mellitus, neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), Muscular Distrophy and other disorders.
TrueClr external catheters are suitable for individuals with bladder conditions such as bladder spasms, as they do not interfere with the bladder function.
TrueClr external catheters prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) because they do not require insertion into the urethra or bladder and risk traumatizing the urethra and potentially introducing harmful bacteria. They significantly mitigate the risk of pediatric CAUTIs due to immature immune systems and length of use.
TrueClr external catheters can be used to treat a wide range of urinary retention and incontinence conditions, with minimal risk of harmful CAUTIs.
Caregivers
TrueClr external catheters are a convenient option when caring for patients with limited mobility or require assistance with toileting, such as dementia patients, long-term care residents in nursing homes, wheelchair-bound and bedridden patients, patients in post-operative care, and obese patients with limited movement.
TrueClr external catheters significantly reduce the risk of damaging the urethra. Inserting or removing internal catheters can sometimes lead to urethral injuries.
TrueClr external catheters prevent skin breakdown and irritation. Latex-free and hypoallergenic, its leak-proof design avoids urine contact with skin, reducing the risk of incontinence-associated dermatitis. Other external catheters require applying and re-applying adhesive, which can lead to skin irritation and breakdown.
TrueClr external catheters can be worn for up to two consecutive days. After cleaning, they can be reapplied and used on the same individual for 30 days at home or 15 days in the hospital.
TrueClr external catheters are easy to apply and require minimal training. Non-medical individuals can use TrueClr catheters at home to help their loved ones stay clean and dry.
Patients
TrueClr external catheters are more comfortable than internal catheters. Internal catheters can cause discomfort and irritation, while TrueClr catheters are non-invasive and do not require insertion into the body. They don't go deep inside the urethra, which can be less invasive and more comfortable for day-to-day use.
TrueClr external catheters allow for more freedom of movement. Unlike internal catheters, which may restrict movement or require additional tubing, Ur24T TrueClr catheters are attached externally and do not interfere with range of motion.
TrueClr external catheters come in various sizes and types, providing a more tailored solution for adult and pediatric male and female patients.
Unlike internal catheters, TrueClr external catheters actively empty the bladder in minutes, providing patients with greater autonomy and improved quality of life.
TrueClr can be used intermittently (i.e., empty the bladder and then have freedom for the next 3-4 hours), continuously or at night-time only.
TrueClr systems can be used at home with a portable aspirator. If desired, one could travel with the catheter and aspirator.
All TrueClr external catheters are Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) reimbursable.
