ABOUT CLASS MEDICAL

Irish Times Innovation Award Winners 2022

In 2011, Dr. Niall Davis (co-founder) was a surgical trainee in urology under the tutelage of Mr Hugh Flood in University Hospital Limerick. He observed that urinary catheter balloon injuries were repeatedly occurring and continue to be under reported.

Frustratingly these injuries received little attention and there was no technical solution to the problem.

TUC Safety Valve

TransUrethral Catheter Safety Valve

"ONE DROP STOP"

Dr. Niall Davis with Dr. Rory Mooney and Professor Michael Walsh designed a safety system that minimises urethral trauma preventing inadvertent balloon inflation in the urethra. This collaborative process led to the development of the innovative TransUrethral Catheter Safety Valve (TUCSV).

This TUCSV gives clinicians and carers confidence that catheter balloon injuries (CBIs) can be avoided.
