SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinal Singularity announced that the first patient has been treated with the Connected Catheter, an innovative, smart catheter system designed for adult males with Chronic Urinary Retention and/or Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD).  The Clinical Feasibility Study is being led by Dr. Ernest Agatstein, MD, an expert Urologist and co-founder of West Coast Urology.

Dr. Agatstein has served as a Scientific Advisor to Spinal Singularity since 2015, when the company was founded.  Dr. Agatstein states, "It has been amazing to watch the Connected Catheter develop and mature over the past couple of years.  What started as a simple idea being relentlessly pursued by passionate founders is now a real medical device that has the potential to radically improve the quality of life for millions of catheter users. I am honored to have treated the first patient in the US with this device and look forward to collecting more data during this study."
