CompactCath is a revolutionary urinary catheter that could drastically change the lives of people who self catheterize. Now, for the first time, the general public can touch and see CompactCath at the AARP [email protected]+ Expo in Boston, on May 8-10th, 2014.
Founded in 2011 and an alumni of Stanford StartX-Med accelerator, CompactCath’s compact packaging, pre-lubrication and simple disposal mechanism helps ease the lives of those who self-catheterize daily. It eliminates the inconvenience of carrying, concealing, and disposing of traditional catheters.
CompactCath is expecting FDA clearance in summer 2014. Most recently, CompactCath has been issued two patents and closed a seed funding round from the Stanford-StartX fund among other angel investors.
