Description:
I have created a urine foley bag that will help slow down urine track infection (UTI). What is a UTI? A urinary tract infection is an infection that affects part of the urinary tract. When it affects the lower urinary tract it is known as a bladder infection and when it affects the upper urinary tract it is known as kidney infection. One of the causes of UTI is the back flow of urine. Mainly in the elderly in the nursing homes. We know that they created a urine bag that help with the back flow of urine but that stop it. What happens is if the nursing staff don't change the bag once it get full the urine will get trap in the line and back flow into the patient causing a UTI. What I design is once the urine gets to certain level there is a sensor attach to the bag that sound off alerting nursing staff that it is full. Right now a have a non-provisional on my idea. What I am looking for to sell it. I also have prototype ready to go.
