120,000 to 160,000
CAUTI related cases
in the U.S. annually
While CAUTI awareness and improved procedures have accomplished a great deal in reducing cases in recent decades, there is still much to be done. CAUTI related medical costs in the U.S. are estimated at more than $1 Billion annual.
Women represent the great majority of cases, especially older and minority females. CAUTI related mortalities represent another notable disparity of women to men, with thousands of deaths in the U.S. every year. Many CAUTI cases still go unreported.
CAUTIBarrier is a patented external solution for women that may allow extended term indwelling catheter use without a high risk of CAUTI by blocking bacteria from causing bladder infections. The product is easy to use with existing procedures and does not affect patient protocols.

We are seeking collaboration with healthcare professionals for clinical trials participation.
Transform CAUTI Prevention for Women
CAUTI prevention with long-term indwelling catheters not only saves costs on treatment, it can improve the quality of life for women and return dignity by reducing absorbable undergarment use.
A better CAUTI solution would allow for convenience in bladder control, reducing or eliminating the need for absorbable undergarments which are uncomfortable, carry the stigma of odors and represent a significant cost factor in labor and products.
The great majority of CAUTI cases are women due to anatomical and urological factors. (65–70% of cases). Minorities also face higher risk from healthcare disparities and comorbidities
$1,500 to $8,000 per CAUTI case in the U.S. including care, medicine and supplies. $5M to $10M cost for U.S. Nursing Homes annually.
U.S estimates CAUTI related costs annually at up to $1 Billion.
Imagine a healthcare world with the convenience of long-term catheter use without CAUTI. No more undergarments, less medications, reduced care and returned dignity.
While much has been done in recent decades to decrease CAUTI cases with better education and procedures, there is still much to be done to improve the lives of women everywhere.
Knowing that women suffer more from CAUTI more than men we also see 1,100–3,300 U.S. CAUTI related female deaths annually, especially in nursing home residents.
