ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NanoVibronix, Inc., (NASDAQ: NAOV), a medical device company that produces the UroShield®, PainShield® and WoundShield® Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Portable Ultrasonic Therapeutic Devices, today announced that its UroShield is featured in Issue 103 of Your Bladder Health Magazine in an article titled ‘UroShield Prevention is better than cure.’ The article highlights the effectiveness of using UroShield in the prevention of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The article also includes testimonials that detail the positive impact that UroShield has had on the lives of patients.
Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix, Inc., said, “This article reinforces our efforts to raise market and clinician awareness, a key driver to accelerating adoption and increasing sales. It highlights the effectiveness of UroShield in preventing episodes of CAUTI and blockages, which in turn, reduces the need for antibiotics and prolonged hospital stays, thereby lowering healthcare costs. Just as important, the patient testimonials and endorsements provide compelling evidence of the positive impact UroShield can have on a patient’s quality of life.”
From the article:
‘Currently, even after many years, the most effective treatments are frequent catheter changes for catheter blockages, and possibly antibiotics for CAUTIs and in more serious cases hospital inpatient episodes, with IV antibiotics to resolve.
Not only does this all have a major impact on people’s quality of life, and the already mentioned strain on NHS resources and finances, but the increased use of antibiotics is something which is of concern globally.
Thankfully UroShield addresses and solves all these serious concerns and has some additional benefits to users in reducing pain associated with catheter use, and a reduction in bladder spasms which some people suffer from.’
