Cathetrix is continuing its European expansion with a new collaboration with S.A.B Medical for the marketing and distribution in the Czech Republic of Foley-Safe, which is designed to improve the stability and safety of indwelling catheter use.
The partnership represents an important milestone in the company’s international growth strategy and strengthens its presence in Central Europe. The companies are currently focused on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the local Ministry of Health before commercialization begins.
The Czech Republic offers an attractive opportunity for innovation in urological care. With a modern healthcare system, a rapidly aging population, and growing demand for advanced medical technologies, the Czech Republic is experiencing increased need for effective urinary care solutions.
The local urinary catheter market is projected to rapidly grow through the coming years, with Foley and indwelling catheters remaining one of the largest product segments due to their widespread use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home-care settings.
Cathetrix’s local partner brings substantial experience to the collaboration. S.A.B Medical has more than 30 years of experience importing and distributing medical devices and supplies throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company serves a broad range of medical specialties, including urology, and works with more than 2,500 healthcare customers ranging from university hospitals to private clinics.
Healthcare providers across the Czech Republic are placing increasing emphasis on patient safety, infection prevention, and improved clinical outcomes. At the same time, the growing prevalence of urological conditions associated with aging, including urinary incontinence and benign prostatic hyperplasia, is driving demand for reliable catheter solutions that can support both short-term and long-term patient care.
S.A.B Medical’s extensive distribution network and strong relationships within the healthcare sector will help Cathetrix introduce its products effectively to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare professionals throughout the country. The partnership combines local market expertise with Cathetrix’s commitment to innovation, creating a strong foundation for future growth.
Foley-Safe helps reduce unwanted movement and traction, which may lower the risk of urethral irritation and related complications. Its practical, user-friendly design supports both hospital and home-care settings, aligning with the growing focus on patient-centered care and improved clinical outcomes.
As part of its continued global expansion, Cathetrix will also be exhibiting at the WHX Miami 2026, taking place June 17-19, 2026, in Miami, Florida. Visitors are invited to meet the team at Pod Y106 in the Future-X zone to learn more about its latest innovations in urological care.
