Learn more about Watershed Medical who is developing a self-eliminating, drug-eluting intravesical implant that floats at the top of the bladder, delivers sustained local therapy, and then disassembles for natural clearance requiring no second procedure. The platform targets two large needs: 1) recurrent UTIs where no sustained-release prophylaxis exists today, and 2) non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) where patient experience and office workflow matter. The device demonstrated favorable retention/clearance characteristics and tolerability in First-in-Human testing.

New study out today demonstrating how we can use a #FIT (first-line interventional therapy), the Rivermark Medical, Inc. FloStent to treat urinary retention. Changing the paradigm away from temporizing Foley catheter to treatment. Bilal Chughtai Adam Kadlec Dr. Ingrid Perscky Urologist-Inventor
New findings from the RAPID I study suggest that the FloStent device could serve as an effective interim solution for men with urinary retention due to #BPH who are awaiting TURP. Notably, all patients in the study were catheter-free immediately following the procedure, and 72.7% of patients remained catheter-free at 3 months. According to senior author Dean Elterman, MD, MSc, FRCSC, "This latest study is the first time a FIT has been used in the setting of urinary retention. It furthers the thesis of Rivermark that the FloStent can be used in a variety of situations including in the acute setting of urinary retention."
