DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF URINE COLLECTION

Innovative Urine Collection Solutions – In Development

Tinkleguard is a UK-designed, patented MedTech innovation, protected under patents in the UK and Europe. It will align with the new vision for preventative medicine and GIRFT (Getting It Right First Time) by improving how urine samples are obtained from incontinent individuals. Once launched, it will support accuracy, reduce retests, and save money for both the NHS and private healthcare providers.

We are developing pioneering urine collection devices designed for individuals who are unable to comply with traditional methods. Our patented paediatric urine collection device is being created to simplify the process for young children, and we are aiming to develop an adult-sized solution tailored for those with dementia, brain injuries, or incontinence.

    FAQS

    Tinkleguard is designed with contamination prevention at its core, addressing common issues associated with traditional urine collection methods:

    1. Ergonomic Design:
      • Tinkleguard® reduces the likelihood of contamination by providing a reliable, easy-to-use method for collecting clean urine samples from incontinent individuals.The product is a super-absorbent pad that attaches gently to the lower abdomen using small sticky tabs, securely covering only the genital area inside a nappy.
      • It features an ergonomically designed dome shape that minimises skin contact with the urethra, significantly reducing the risk of contamination.
    2. User-Friendly Instructions:Tinkleguard’s step-by-step pictorial instructions ensure ease of use for both professionals and caregivers.
      • These instructions promote health equity by being accessible to all user groups, regardless of language or literacy level.
      • They emphasise the importance of cleansing the area and avoiding contact with the inside of the device to maintain a sterile environment, ensuring a clean sample is collected.

    • Paediatric Device: Suitable for use from birth up to around two years of age, or until a child becomes potty-trained and can urinate directly into a sterile container.
    • Adult Device: Designed for older children and adults who may have a brain injury or cognitive difficulties that result in incontinence, preventing them from providing a urine sample in the usual way (i.e., into a sterile container).

    Deployment and Use:

    This non-invasive urine collection kit is suitable for use in a variety of settings where UTIs are suspected, including:

    • Emergency care
    • Paediatric units
    • Baby clinics
    • Brain injury and rehabilitation units
    • Nursing & Care homes
    • In-home care

    The primary function of the device is to improve the reliability of urine samples, enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses.

    Early and correct treatment is particularly critical for dementia patients, as infections can accelerate cognitive decline (Source: Age UK).

    Not yet. Our products are currently under development, and we are working towards regulatory approval and manufacturing readiness.

    Our devices are designed for individuals who cannot comply with traditional urine collection methods, such as those with dementia, brain injuries, or incontinence. They provide a dignified and stress-free solution where existing options fall short.

    We are working hard to bring our devices to market as soon as possible. While we do not have an exact launch date, we will share updates as we progress.
