Catheter slip cover
Developing an odour-absorbing catheter slipcover
Happy Workwear has developed an overall with impregnated fabric so the scents from the swinery won’t bother the agrarian anymore.
The idea is now, that this basic technique can also be used in the health sector. More specifically, the fabric can be used around the catheter(hose), so that it can absorb the scents coming from coli infected urine. The project will also try to figure out how this absorption process works and wheter more scents can be absorbed.
During the project, the company will work closely together with regional hospitals and other care giving institutions. Therefore product will be better adapted to practical use and the commercialisation phase will run more smoothly.
