UroNova's Mission

​In close cooperation with our clinical advisors and partners in industry we fight costs, illness and deaths caused by catheter related emergencies and infection. We fight the progression of bacterial resistances caused by the wide use of antibiotics, silver particles and other biocide substances. We improve patients' quality of life and at the same time help to lower healthcare related costs.

Situation

Infection, encrustation and blockage of long-term indwelling catheters, ureteral stents and nephrostomy tubes are significant medical and health-economic problems. Because of these problems, about 50% of patients with permanent urinary drainage devices present as emergency cases during their course of disease, 13000 patients die and up to 1.3 Billion Euro additional costs are produced per year in Western Europe and a similar amount in North America.

Challenge

Commonly urinary tract infections are treated with antibiotics. But the wide use of antibiotic medication harbours the risk of promoting bacterial resistances. Resistant bacteria can't be effectively treated by antibiotics anymore to help critically ill patients.

To use coated stents and catheters is another approach. But most of those devices face the same problems: Antibiotic, silver and other biozide coatings also lead to resistances.

Breakthrough

UroNova's unique patented technology protects stents and catheters from bacterial biofilm formation and subsequent encrustation without using antibioctics, silver particels or any other biozide substance. Proven, hundred-thousandfold in clinical every-day practice.

No drug elution takes place, so no systemic side effects are caused. The coating's effectiveness is not limited in time, as it is long-term stable. Biocompatibility is unparalleled.
