About URIGENT
Our company is dedicated to helping those who are at risk of injury from falling by providing products that mitigate that risk and improve safety for those who have Nocturia or balance disorders.
The idea for the portable urinal came about when inventor, Dave Purcell, 84 has Nocturia [Frequent urination at night], and is on blood pressure meds that make him dizzy when arising from sleep. He needed something to stabilize himself, and knew he was at risk of falling when going to the bathroom many times during a single night. So he had the idea to eliminate that risk by creating a bedside urinal.
Dave found that it worked so well for him that he wanted to make it available to men everywhere. he researched statistics, those indicated that the problem was so common that most people after age 65 had this issue to some degree.
Earlier in his life, at age 76, after retiring from a successful career in the digital tech industry, Dave had invented the LifeWalker, UpWalker for his wife who had balance problems. Tens of thousands of those have been sold helping many people with those disorders walk safely again.
Talented colleagues Tom Pan, PhD,ME. and Maureen Messina, CNA, joined Dave as co-developers to create the new URIGENT portable bedside urinal.
