About Urethrotech Inc.
Urethrotech Inc. manufactures the Urethral Catheterization Device (UCD®), an FDA 510(k)-cleared, CE-marked medical device designed to address difficult or failed male urethral catheterization. The UCD® is a ready-to-use, non-traumatic catheterization solution featuring an integrated hydrophilic Nitinol guidewire integrated into a standard 16F silicone 3-way Foley catheter. The guidewire is inserted first to safely bypass anatomical obstructions (such as enlarged prostate lobes) before catheter placement, then removed after successful catheterization. The device is indicated as a second-line option in emergency departments and other high-risk clinical settings where standard catheterization has failed or is anticipated to be difficult. Clinical evidence demonstrates significant reductions in referrals (100% to 17%), major complications (54% to 17%), and per-patient costs (50% reduction). The company holds ISO 13485:2016 certification and provides comprehensive clinical education including on-demand training videos, live demonstration sessions, and free e-learning courses on advanced male urethral catheterization. Urethrotech serves hospitals, emergency departments, and clinical settings across the US, offering procurement support, sample evaluation programs, and structured in-service education to ensure safe and appropriate device use by qualified healthcare professionals.
