INGENION MEDICAL WINS INNOVATE UK GRANT FOR CE MARKING ITS NOVEL URINARY CATHETER

London, UK – 06 November, 2020 – Ingenion Medical Limited, today, announces it has been awarded nearly £100,000 in grant funding from Innovate UK, the country’s innovation agency.

Ingenion will use the proceeds over the next six months to gain a CE Mark for its CymActive™ urinary catheter, a novel medical device to treat male patients suffering from chronic urinary retention.

Ingenion’s CEO Edward Cappabianca said, “Our technology’s proprietary, patent-pending magnetic valve lets patients control their urination, without surgery or drugs.”

We anticipate the CymActive™ catheter will be first from our innovation pipeline to launch. We are committed to improving the health and quality of life for men and women sufferings from urinary control dysfunctions.”
