About

The Tibbe™ EUD

Tibbe EUD context

Urinary Tract Infections are the most prevalent nosocomial infection, frequently stemming from indwelling catheters. Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections account for approximately 13,000 annual deaths, extending hospital stays by 2–4 days and generating $400–500 million in additional costs per year.

The Tibbe™ EUD was developed by Mary Tibbe, Clinical Nurse Specialist at Corewell Hospital, as a catheter alternative for female patients.

Our mission is delivering women a hygienic, clean, and external alternative to traditional catheters — reducing infection risk while enhancing comfort.
