The sponge
A drug retention sponge
UTT’s proprietary biodegradable sponge aims to enable topical delivery of existing medications for various urinary conditions. The sponge is designed to be inserted into the bladder via catheter, where it expands. This approach is being explored for potential applications in: bladder inflammation, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and bladder cancer. The sponge-based system is adaptable for use with different types of medications, including: chemotherapy agents, antibiotics, antimuscarinics, and mirabegron. This technology aims to offer a new method for delivering medications directly to the bladder, potentially allowing for localized treatment approaches.

Treatment of Prostate cancer
A non surgical chemo ablation treatment for prostate cancer - Chemo Gel
UTT is developing a non-surgical alternative for prostate tumors using a proprietary liquid gel technology. The concept involves dissolving a chemotherapy agent into the gel, which is then designed to be injected into the prostate. The gel is intended to release the chemotherapy agent over a period of several days. This method aims to expose prostate tumors directly to the chemotherapy gel. UTT is exploring this technology as a potential alternative to surgical interventions for prostate conditions.
Leakage-Control (ULC)
An in-dwelling magnetic bladder buoy
UTT Ltd patented a revolutionary leakage control device (ULC) a magnetic floating buoy that is inserted into the bladder and is pressed against the bladder neck to provide a urine leakage barrier. The ULC is pulled by a magnetic pad, worn in the underpants. As the underpants are naturally removed, the buoy floats and voiding occurs naturally. The buoy compression level is easily adjustable via the magnetic pad. The device is comfortable, minimally invasive, reversible, and adaptable to the specific anatomy and condition. The ULC will greatly improve the quality of life for millions of incontinent women and reduce the costs of incontinence.
