For urine-bag manufacturers and product partners
A caregiver-led urine bag reinforcement concept for manufacturing and licensing evaluation.
Uroclips addresses a specific issue observed during hands-on caregiving: early tearing around the two hanging holes of selected urine bags before their planned replacement date.
The concept uses two external clips, one over each hanging hole, to add reinforcement around the part of the bag that is repeatedly lifted, hung and handled. It is designed to work with selected existing urine-bag formats rather than require caregivers to adopt a new routine.
Why this may be worth evaluating
Built around an existing use case
The concept began with a specific caregiver problem rather than a theoretical redesign. It may be evaluated as an external accessory or as a starting point for an integrated hanger-area design.
Designed around the hanging-hole area
Uroclips focuses on the two hanging holes, an area that carries load when a urine bag is suspended, repositioned and handled over time.
Open to practical evaluation
A suitable partner can assess fit, materials, manufacturing route, packaging, product positioning and any required regulatory pathway.
Possible partnership routes
Licence the concept
Discuss a territory-based or non-exclusive licence for an accessory version or a future integrated product design, subject to agreed commercial terms.
Co-develop an integrated design
Explore whether the reinforcement concept could be refined into a future urine-bag hanger design, using the partner’s manufacturing and regulatory expertise.
Distribution or acquisition
Discuss distribution, a time-limited evaluation option, an acquisition of the design rights, or another commercial arrangement that fits both parties.
