Introducing Micro-hole Zone Technology

Micro-hole Zone Technology ensures complete bladder emptying in one free flow*. By reducing mucosal suction, it eliminates the need for repositioning and reduces the risk of residual urine and microtrauma.^1,2

Learn how Micro-hole Zone Technology works

Intermittent catheters with Micro-hole Zone Technology have a zone of micro-holes, designed to reduce the risk of UTIs. Micro-hole Zone Technology enables¹:

• One free flow – The urine flow stops when the bladder is completely emptied*
• No repositioning – There is no need to reposition the catheter as mucosal suction is reduced
• Less risk of UTIs – Designed to reduce the risk of UTIs† by minimising residual urine and bladder microtrauma‡

*The Micro-hole Zone Technology catheter has close to no flow stops and complete bladder emptying is defined as <10 mL (NCT05485922, N=42). Individual results may vary
† UTI risk factors defined by Kennely M et al. (2019), 10.1155/2019/2757862.³
‡Tested in a pre-clinical setting (ex vivo)
