Why it matters

A preventable infection, and a better alternative.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections remain one of the most common and most preventable healthcare-associated infections in the United States.

CAUTIs occur in U.S. healthcare facilities every year
~30–32%
of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections are catheter-associated

External catheters are a guideline-supported alternative to indwelling catheters, avoiding the urethral trauma and biofilm formation that drive most catheter-associated infections. Uro-Gard does not treat infection. It addresses the upstream cause: catheter use in patients who could be managed with an external device instead.

The Device

Four components, one job: keep urine off the skin.

Most complications in incontinence care come down to two things: backflow and skin contact. Uro-Gard was engineered around both, without the invasiveness of an indwelling catheter.

  • Minimal urine contact with skin during wear, supporting prevention of skin breakdown and incontinence-associated dermatitis.
  • External and non-invasive. No urethral insertion, so it avoids the trauma and biofilm risk that drive most catheter-associated infections.
  • One size fits all. A single universal design means no measuring, no fitting appointment, and one SKU to reorder.
  • Attaches to standard bags. The drain tube connects to any standard bedside or leg bag, which detaches for mobility.
Component 1

Base

Contoured wafer that secures the system and creates a stable seal.

Component 2

Inner Pouch

Receives and directs flow away from the skin.

Component 3

Outer Sheath

Contains the inner pouch and channels urine downward.

Component 4

Drain Tube

Carries urine to a standard bedside or leg bag.

A final collection reservoir attaches and detaches for mobility and activity.

Where we serve

Across the full continuum of care.

Uro-Gard is designed for use wherever incontinence care is delivered: in the facility, in the community, and at home.

Our story

Built by a nurse who saw the gap firsthand.

Fred Acosta spent more than thirty years as a registered nurse across nursing homes, acute care hospitals, and post-surgical recovery units. He repeatedly saw the same failure: men managing incontinence were offered products designed without regard for male anatomy, and when those failed, clinicians defaulted to indwelling catheters that carried avoidable infection risk.

He founded Acosta Medical Group to close that gap. His clinical experience is the specification behind the Uro-Gard design.
