SimplCath™ is the only FDA approved female catheterization assisting device on the market that assists health care professionals with urethral catheterization of female patients. It was developed by a board-certified urologist who is also board certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Feloney watched for years as healthcare workers struggled using catheter kits designed for men on women.
Healthcare workers frequently have trouble finding the urethra opening and frequently accidentally contaminate the catheter prior to insertion by placing it into the vagina. It is so difficult to catheterize women that many hospitals require two staff members to place a catheter in a female patient.
If healthcare workers frequently have a hard time catheterizing a female patient, then it is no wonder that patients who require a catheter to empty their own bladders also frequently struggle to catheterize themselves for similar reasons. SimplCath™ was created to fill both of these ignored needs.
