A New Standard of Care
The Egress AutoValve™ has been cleared by the FDA under a brand-new product classification code recognizing Foley Catheters and Accessories with Additional Safety Features (SCT).
Designed to look and feel like a standard Foley catheter, clinicians can seamlessly integrate the Egress AutoValve™ into practice without additional supplies or preparation.
Patients with cognitive impairments, such as dementia or delirium, are at the highest risk of pulling out their catheters. All patients deserve safety and comfort.
The first urinary safety catheter designed to automatically deflate if pulled out with the balloon inflated. The pulling force activates a secondary deflation mechanism, automatically deflating the balloon prior to forced removal.

The Egress AutoValve™ is integrated into the inflation lumen of the device. The valve remains inactive unless an external pulling force above the predetermined threshold is applied.
Request InformationA pulled-out catheter has typically led to significant bleeding, extended catheterization time, and reparation surgery, requiring diversion of resources and longer hospital stays for an already impacted patient population. The Egress catheter is a safer alternative, particularly among patients in the ICU and those with delirium or dementia who are at the highest risk of pulling out their catheters.
If a family member is in the ICU, recovering from surgery, or living with dementia, the Egress Safety Catheter was built to help keep them safe — even if they accidentally pull on the catheter.
