In healthcare, efficiency matters.
Every procedure involves more than the cost of the supplies used. Staff time, workflow, cleanup, waste management, and occupational safety all contribute to the overall cost of care.
Bladder irrigation is one area where a more efficient approach can help address these challenges.
Traditional manual bladder irrigation can require significant hands-on time and, in some situations, more than one healthcare professional to manage irrigation and bloody waste. The process may also involve repeated syringe disconnections, additional handling, and cleanup when spills or splashes occur.
The Multiphze Enclosed Bladder Irrigation System was designed to simplify this process.
Its enclosed system allows irrigation and drainage to be managed through a rotatable syringe and integrated drainage bag, helping reduce unnecessary handling and exposure to bloody urine. The design also allows the procedure to be completed by one medical professional, potentially reducing the staffing demands associated with traditional manual irrigation.
Time savings can also have a meaningful economic impact. In an in vivo porcine evaluation conducted at the University of California, Irvine, the Multiphze system reduced bladder irrigation time by more than 50% compared with the conventional method evaluated.
But efficiency is about more than speed.
A streamlined process can help reduce the time clinicians spend managing equipment and waste, while the enclosed design can help minimize spills, splashes, and associated cleanup. Reducing opportunities for occupational exposure can also help address another important consideration for healthcare organizations: the potential costs and consequences associated with exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
When evaluating medical technology, the purchase price is only one part of the equation.
Hospitals and health systems should also consider the total cost of the procedure—including labor, time, supplies, cleanup, waste, and safety.
The goal isn’t simply to perform bladder irrigation faster. It is to create a process that is more efficient, controlled, and practical for the healthcare professionals performing it.
Multiphze is designed to help healthcare teams rethink the way bladder irrigation is performed—bringing greater efficiency and economic value to the procedure.
