100 million patients worldwide are suffering the limitations of a urinary catheter design that remains largely unchanged since the 1930's - limitations that result far too often in infection, blockage, pain and distress for patients.
THE Flume CATHETER REVOLUTION
The design of the new patented FLUME® catheter aims to revolutionize the experience of catheter patients by eliminating the exposed tip and moving the drainage holes.
SIMPLE & INTUITIVE
Same insertion and removal technique as a standard Foley catheter
The bladder makes contact with the flexible balloon surface vs. a rigid catheter tip
Drainage holes are inset and protected at the base of the balloon
Just half the length of a Foley catheter resides in the bladder
