ELMSFORD, NY --(Marketwired - April 05, 2018) - NanoVibronix, Inc. (
UroShield™ is an ultrasound-based product that is designed to prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm on indwelling urinary catheters and increase antibiotic efficacy, ultimately reducing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). UroShield is also intended to decrease pain and discomfort associated with urinary catheter use. CAUTIs are a significant contributor to healthcare-associated UTIs and have been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital cost, and length of stay. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that over 13,000 deaths per year are attributable to CAUTIs. UroShield™ is Health Canada approved.
Leonard Ineson, CEO of Instrumed Surgical, commented, "CAUTI is a major cause of patient mortality, and there is growing concern over antimicrobial resistance to urinary pathogens. We believe UroShield™ has the potential to not only save lives, but also decrease the use of antibiotics by lowering infection rates. We look forward to rapidly rolling out UroShield across Canada and believe there will be strong support from the Canadian medical community due to both the patient and economic benefits of the product."
Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix Inc., commented, "Instrumed Surgical is one of the premier medical device distributors in Canada, with over 3 decades of experience and an impressive sales network that covers all the major hospitals across Canada. This partnership follows our recent announcement of a UK distributor and represents another major milestone in our global rollout strategy."
