Royal honour for Mediplus

22nd April 2017
Mediplus wins Queens Award

Congratulations to Mediplus, who have today been awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, under the innovation category, for their pioneering catheter insertion kit dubbed ‘a GPS for the bladder’.

The S-Cath™ System uses the Seldinger technique to facilitate a one tract entry into the bladder allowing clinicians to perform a safer introduction of a suprapubic catheter.

The innovative device, which was designed ‘hand in hand’ with clinicians, offers a more controlled, accurate and precise placement into the bladder.

Currently, a suprapubic catheterisation is performed in an operating theatre under general anaesthetic with clinicians using a ‘blind’ percutaneous trocar puncture to gain entry into the bladder.

Instead the S-Cath™ System locates the bladder with a patented safety guide wire, improving placement and guarantees insertion of the trocar along the anesthetised track.

For patients, it means they only need to attend a 30-minute appointment slot in clinic, reducing treatment time from 2.3 days to 22 minutes.
