Peak Medical Ltd, a UK-based specialist in ostomy and urology care, is proud to present the UroShield Actuator for Medical Catheter — a clinically designed, single-use device that is transforming how healthcare professionals and patients approach catheter-related infections.
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) remain one of the most prevalent healthcare-acquired infections globally, placing enormous pressure on both patients and healthcare systems. The UroShield Actuator directly addresses this challenge through innovative Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology.
When attached to an indwelling catheter, the clip-on actuator generates continuous acoustic waves that create a protective shield around the catheter surface. This shield actively disrupts bacterial adhesion, preventing biofilm formation — the primary cause of catheter-related infections, blockages, and patient discomfort.
Key clinical benefits of the UroShield Actuator for Medical Catheter include:
1. Prevention of bacterial biofilm formation on catheter surfaces
2. Significant reduction in bacteriuria and CAUTI development
3. Decreased catheter-related pain and discomfort for long-term users
4. Reduced dependency on antibiotics in catheter-dependent patients
Designed for ease of use, the actuator clips directly onto the catheter and is intended for single use — to be replaced alongside each catheter change. It is now available on prescription across the United Kingdom.
"We are committed to improving quality of life for catheter-dependent patients," said a spokesperson for Peak Medical. "The UroShield Actuator represents a meaningful step forward in preventive urological care."
