Filter by:The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.

The Uroshield device is a commercially available device with two parts: a disposable actuator which attaches to the external portion of the catheter and a portable battery. The device sends out low-frequency ultrasound waves which run along the surfaces of the catheter. These acoustic waves prevent bacteria from adhering to the catheter and prevent the formation of biofilm. Our objective is to conduct a pilot study to determine if the UroShield device can reduce bacteriuria and catheter biofilm formation among neurogenic bladder patients with an indwelling catheter, as well as improve urinary quality of life and symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to see what effects sacral neuromodulation has on bladder function and quality of life in patients with acute spinal cord injury. Within 12-weeks of injury, participants will either receive an implanted nerve stimulator (like a pace-maker for the bladder) or standard care for neurogenic bladder. Patients will be assigned to one of these groups at random and followed for one year. The hypothesis is that early stimulation of the nerves will help prevent the development of neurogenic bladder.
Subjects with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury that is refractory to medical treatment and requires augmentation cystoplasty will be enrolled. The hypothesis is that augmentation cystoplasty using an autologous neo-bladder construct will reduce maximum detrusor pressure.
Subjects with neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida refractory to medical treatment will be enrolled. The hypothesis is that augmentation cystoplasty using an autologous neo-bladder construct will significantly increase bladder compliance.
