LEADING UROTECHNOLOGY MADE IN GERMANY G E N E R A L I N F O R M AT I O N 1989 UROTECH GmbH was founded in Bad Aibling near Rosenheim in Bavaria, Germany 1995 Introduction of the Quality Management System according to ISO 9002/EN 46002, which since then is under constant development and improvement 1997 UROTECH GmbH is being integrated into the English company Biocompatibles Plc. The research department of Biocompatibles Ltd., together with a close contact to our customers, brought new product innovations to the market, such as Phosphorylcholine-treatment 2002 Introduction of the Quality Management System according to ISO 9001 and EN 13485 2003 UROTECH GmbH becomes a subsidiary of the MediGlobe Group on January 1st 2003. UROTECH relocates to the modern premises of the Medi-Globe Headquarters in Achenmühle, near Rosenheim, as advancement for further expansion and use of collaboral synergies. 2011 UROTECH developed together with Prof. Dr. med. Sven Lahme a new innovative detachable handle for all stone retrieval baskets. 2012 UROTECH developed together with the well-known Swedish Radiologist Prof. Magnusson a novel drainage system for percutaneous nephrostomy procedures. 2013 The Magnetic Black-Star with Retrieval Device is conquering the market. Founded in 1989, German-based UROTECH GmbH is specialized in the development and manufacturing of disposable instrumentation for a wide field of modern urology applications. Within our vast product portfolio we offer, amongst others, Ureteral Stents, Nephrostomy Catheters, Puncture & Exchange Sets, Balloon Catheters, Haematuria/Tamponade Catheters, Suprapubic Bladder Puncture Sets / Exchange Sets, Stone Extractors and Ureteral Catheters. Most Urotech products are being manufactured inhouse. The close cooperation between R&D and production enables us to individually and quickly react to customer needs. We constantly develop several new and innovative products in close co-operation with our Research & Development engineers and key reference doctors. Our production facilities are modern, with upto-date technology clean-room facilities fulfilling all international standards and all legal requirements. One of our great strengths is the treatment of ureteral stents and nephrostomy catheters with Phosphorylcholine. This exclusive UROTECH treatment provides various advantages such as increased indwelling times, reduced incrustation and a reduced bacteria colonization on the stent/catheter surfaces. Altogether PC-treatments will increase the indwelling performance of the devices and reduce the risk of clinically significant complications. PHILOSOPHY Creativity, innovation, technology leadership and the will to actively accompany the change in time are important attributes of our young and dynamic company. Every employee is aware of the responsibilities to reach our mutual set goals. UROTECH‘s objectives are in accordance with the company‘s philosophy: quality, innovation, personal committment and perfection in detail. This dedication is worthwhile. For patients and users it means best therapeutic compliance of requirements thus complete customer satisfaction. We continuously work on these goals!

It is successfully used not only in urology but also in other medical fields (e.g. coronary stents, contact lenses). Since 1997 UROTECH is successfully using Phosphorylcholine-treatment on urological devices. PC lowers proven the risk of encrustations and infections, which results in prolonging the indwelling time of ureteral stents and nephrostomy catheters. Below, we would like to show the effectiveness of the PC-treatment and its advantage. PC-treated ureteral stents minimize significantly stent associated morbidity frequency of urinary tract infections cost for accompanying medication (anticholinergics, antibiotics) 4 a. b. Cross-section of a catheter after three months implantation in the same patient a.untreated b.PC-treated The effect Phosphorylcholine is according to the described effectiveness highly suitable for the application in the urology. The water molecules on the surface of the implants stop the binding of other molecules and materials on the PCsurface and reduce at the same time the coefficient of friction, which results in a better implantation behaviour. Even a short time after implantation a biofilm formation on the surface of untreated catheters is observed, containing multiple microorganism and extracellular matrices. The camouflageeffect of PCtreated stents This biofilm can be seen as a permanent reservoir of bacteria, protected against antibiotic therapy and maintaining a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Most of these microorganism are forming urea splitting enzymes (urease) resulting in an increasing ph-level of urine and in the biofilm. If the ph-level exceed the neutral point (ph=7), different soluted molecules precipitate and crystallise on the surface of the implant. An encrustation is formed, the inner lumen of the catheter narrows and the implant is not functioning. Due to the water film on its surface Phosphorylcholine reduces the adhesion of bacteria and proteins, resulting in a decreased biofilm and therefore significantly lowers encrustation. 5 VERTELLUS BIOMATERIALS PC is a trademark of Vertellus Specialties UK, Limited, all rights reserved. URETERAL STENTS UROTECH offers a wide range of ureteral stents and sets for all kinds of standard and specialized applications including a large assortment of paediatric sizes.
