Prevent Bladder Distension with the Fourie Safety System

Introducing the Fourie Safety System – Protection When It Matters Most

Continuous bladder irrigation plays a crucial role in many urological procedures, yet one of its most common complications—acute bladder distension—remains largely preventable. That’s where the Fourie Safety System comes in.

The Only System Designed to Truly Prevent Distention During Continuous Irrigation

Unlike conventional urine bags, the Fourie Safety System features an integrated overflow device that activates when the bag is full. This smart, concealed mechanism gives clinical staff time to replace the bag before any risk of bladder overdistention arises. It's a safeguard that functions like an airbag in a car—not used every time, but invaluable when it is.

Key Features at a Glance:

  • Overflow Protection: Activates at ~25 cm H₂O pressure to prevent bladder distention

  • Optional Agitator: Available with or without for flexibility in clinical needs

  • Advanced Tubing: Specially profiled to prevent blockages—even when fully kinked

  • Hydrophobic Vent: Allows air to escape, reducing the risk of airlocks

  • Compliant Overflow Pouch: Ejects safely and collects fluid when needed

A large percentage of patients receiving continuous bladder irrigation are at risk of painful distention due to delayed bag emptying or blockages caused by clots or debris. The Fourie Bag addresses these concerns with proactive design and reliable function.

Protect your patients. Simplify your workflow. Choose the Fourie Safety System.
