Urovalve, Inc. develops and manufactures urinary flow and control products. It has developed and patented technology to control fluid flow through small diameter flexible tubing. The core proprietary technology for the Surinate bladder management system is comprised of a simple magnetically controlled valve that can be activated remotely by a Surinate wearer who uses a hand held magnet to self-regulate flow. Currently available devices require continuous bladder drainage or insertion of a tube into the urethra several times each day. The Surinate bladder management system provides a solution to the problems of life style, urinary tract infections, and substantial healthcare worker expenses associated with existing catheters. The company was founded by Sergio Rothstein and Rafael S. Wurzel in 1999 and is headquartered in Newark, NJ.
