Our Mission is to Contribute to Better Primary Healthcare
Indwelling catheters are used by five percent of men over the
age of 65
The changing of urinary catheters in primary care often
creates problems:
? Patient discomfort
? Bleeding
? Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Health personnel are often reluctant to undertake procedure
Senior patients deserve good domestic care, freedom
from expensive and disabling infections, and less discomfort

The Solution
? Our solution?
? A patented, soft and flexible channel that is inserted around the
indwelling catheter
? The old catheter is removed
? The new one is easily inserted
? Invented by Knut Eilert Karlsen, M.D., urological surgeon
? Cath-Tract? Male simplifies indwelling urinary catheter procedures
? Make changes easier for patients and healthcare personnel
? Protects the sensitive urinary tract
? Reduces the risk of UTIs and permits the bladder to be washed out
? Saves money and contributes to diagnosis and treatment
