potential to help mitigate an avoidable patient hazard…

In our discussions with urologists, we have been struck by how many have raised how an inherent feature of FLUME’s balloon design could help mitigate an avoidable patient hazard that they are very aware of - namely urethral catheterisation injuries arising from premature balloon inflation. This feedback prompted us to research the incidence and cost of such injuries. The short animated video below summarizes our findings and illustrates how the FLUME catheter design could help.
