“I am a C5-C6 quad and an indwelling catheter user since 1991 and during the first 12 years, post injury, I would get at least one UTI a year. I met Dr Flinchbaugh’s at the Central Florida Inventor’s Council and as soon as I saw his product, the UroCycler, I knew instantly it would cycle my bladder automatically. Dr Flinchbaugh gave me some UroCyclers to try, and it worked! I have been fortunate to have been able to use the UroCycler and I have been free from UTI’s ever since. The UroCycler replaced the function of my sphincter muscle, that was bypassed with the indwelling catheter. I feel that the restored cyclical function of the bladder is what cleared up my urine and has prevented any UTI’s. Read More

I am the Nursing Operations Manager for the Orlando Regional Healthcare System Transitional Care Center located in Orlando, Florida. This unit takes multiple trauma and complex medical patients that may not be ready for our Acute Rehabilitation Unit. The unit started a pilot program for the UroCycler. I have utilized the UroCycler on several patients’ 5-7 days prior to discontinuing their Foley catheter. On each occasion, these patients had no urinary retention or episodes of incontinence. I also have one multiple trauma patient that has had 2 Foley catheter-related urinary tract infections in the first 4 weeks of being on the TCC unit. I placed a UroCycler on him and for the past 3 weeks he has had no new urinary tract infection. Read More

Dear Dr. Flinchbaugh, I would like to thank you and your family for all you have done for me. Over these past years using the UroCycler, my quality of life has improved immensely. Before I would have been to the ER at least four times in a 12-month period for clogged foley issues and or UTI. And I would also end up spending at least 3 days in the hospital before years end. This would usually follow with a three week stay in an offsite rehab facility to help me regain strength lost while in the hospital. The UroCycler keeps my bladder in a healthy state. It gives me peace of mind and a window to what is happening with my foley in the bladder. If things look cloudy with encrustations in the UroCycler, I know it’s time to back flush the line. It might sound cliche, but “the UroCycler gave me my life back”. I wish you well and good health, Kind Regards, Greg Robertson August 2021

I am writing this letter to express my enthusiasm for this product. As both a medical researcher and an end user, I know first-hand the devastation that long-term indwelling catheters • inflict upon the body. Due to my C-spine injury, coupled to several autoimmune disorders and a neuromuscular disease, I have been forced to use such catheters for many years. This has become a serious threat to my health. I have been plagued by numerous urinary tract infections (UTIs), causing continued antibiotic use and other medical concerns, as well as bladder spasms. Since I began employing the UroCycler® I am once more able to use Foley catheters, spend more time in my laboratory and have experienced neither UTIs nor bladder spasms. Additionally, I have given the UroCycler® to several research patients who have been troubled by frequent UTIs. Read More

I cannot tell you how much the UroCycler® has enabled me to live a normal life, almost! For 2 years I have had to stay in my chair 24/7 because of bladder spasms. “I could not sleep in my bed due to extreme spasms while laying down”. “The UroCycler has given me the first night of sleep and ability to lay flat with no spasms in 2 and ½ years”. I am now able to go out without worrying about any bladder spasms. My husband also is grateful! “The UroCycler has eliminated the traditional urine smell associated with use of an indwelling catheter and collection bag”. SPECIAL NOTE: THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS ASSOCIATION GAVE AN AWARD TO DR. FLINCHBAUGH FOR INVENTING THE UROCYCLER®

I am writing to inform you of the improved quality of life with one of our clients since we began using the UroCycler® drainage system at the Visiting Nurse Association. We did a trial with the product with several of our patients shortly after it became available. I have a client whom I have case managed for the past 4 years, she has neurogenic bladder and a suprapubic catheter. Prior to initiating the use of the UroCycler®. She had many bladder spasms that caused leaking of urine and extreme pain, as well as frequent sediment build up, blockages that required irrigation or frequent catheter changes and infections. We placed the UroCycler® on this client at the beginning of trial period and within 4 weeks, the client was free of urinary tract infections, was off anti-spasmodic medications and had no leaking around the tube or urethra.

I have received the following information from a patient using the UroCycler® which I wanted to share with you. John Cardoza suffered a spinal cord injury 37 years ago. He has required a full-time Foley catheter since the injury, experiencing frequent UTIs and bladder spasms and complaining of pain when inflating the Foley balloon, due to the decreased size of his bladder. Four months ago, he started using the UroCycler® and has used the same product for the full length of time, cleaning it every two to three days with white vinegar. Since commencing UroCycler® usage, he has experienced NO UTIs or bladder spasms. He also states that the pain from the expanding Foley balloon is gone. Read More

The Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd has been utilizing the UroCycler® bag soon after it came on the market. Our staff finds the bag to be useful for several reasons. The UroCycler® bag can best be utilized early on for the resident with the potential to regain bladder function. Because bladder training is an important part of regaining this function, the UroCycler® bag allows 1he normal response of the bladder to take place. Once the bladder tone has been reestablished the catheter can be removed fU1d restored bladder function can occur thus improving resident independence. • The incidence of urinary tract infections has also been seen as a reason for using UroCycler® bags. On the resident with long term catheter use, the UroCycler® has decreased our infection rate. Read More
“At the request of the nurse practitioner for the patient, we started using this "drainage system”. •We noticed a decrease in the patients’ urinary tract infections which, were frequent before the use of the UroCycler®.”

“We have used the UroCycler® urinary drainage system at our facility for approximately 1 1/2-2 years. This product has been beneficial in preventing UTI's due to its unique valve system. It has eliminated the need to use a clamp and release program when attempting to discontinue Foley catheter use in a resident.”
Tammy J. R. RN
“We still use UroCyclers® when we are weaning residents off urinary catheters. We find that we have great success of regaining continence and avoiding retention and infections problems when we use the UroCycler® to wean residents off Foleys. We also appreciate the time saved by not having to clamp and unclamp the catheter tubing during the weaning process.”
Maggie N. RN
“Over the past few years, I have come to rely on the UroCycler®. Year after year, my annual bladder tests show no shrinkage of my bladder. I believe this is because of the action of the UroCycler® restoring close-to-normal bladder function. I appreciate, too, your perseverance in standing behind your UroCycler® through thick and thin. Thank you!”

“LakeView Community Hospital Home Health Services has been using the UroCycler® Automatic Bladder Management system for several years now. We trialed its use soon after it became available on the market as a possible solution to decrease our infection rate related to long-term indwelling catheter use. We found that patients who required higher nursing and medical interventions related to their indwelling catheters (bladder spasms, UTI, leakage) resolved these problems or decreased dramatically the occurrence of catheter related problems with the use of the UroCycler®”

“My husband Jim has had 8 strokes, 3 of which were severe. He is paralyzed on the left side and only has use of his right arm, neck, and head movements.. He has had severe UTIs about every month or so. His Foley was being changed at least every 7 days. Upon reading about the UroCycler®, I felt this might help him. I am so glad I did. The first UroCycler® I used lasted 60 days without any blockage of the Foley.. I am so thankful I tried your product and I tell everyone what a wonderful job they do. I endorse your UroCycler® 100%. As a care giver it has also made my job easier. Thanks Again”
