LifeValves has developed and patented a Catheter with an Internal Bi-Valve Security System. The catheter's main functionality is to prevent the backflow of fluids in the opposite direction from the purpose of the particular catheter in use.

The Bi-valvular security system is designed to adapt into any catheter system available in the market implemented in the use of extraction (or insertion) of biological substances such as IV peripheral catheters, arterial lines, urinary catheters, central lines, dialysis catheters, ventricular catheters, and biopsy catheters (oncology). The valve can be adjustable to any catheter without having to change the physical appearance of the catheter, for which it is intended to adapt the Bi-valvular system to the drainage funnel of the catheter in use. The Bi-valvular method consists of a sliding mechanism that can be applied to the simplest catheter and allows reinserting and extracting of the needle as done with any simple catheter.

While other valves exist in the market, the current device is unique by having a Bi-valvular system, causing it to be much more effective, cost-benefit for patients and hospitals, and better at preventing contaminations and complications.

Safety and reliability – Most importantly our medical products have to be reliable in terms of proven efficiency, non-harmful production materials, and safety mechanisms;
Our Competitive prices – The medical products industry as a whole is rich in the competition of great market influence. Furthermore, as a large portion of the market operates under an organized purchasing group (GPOs) or forms an integrated delivery network (IDNs), those organizations hold high negotiation leverages. Therefore, to succeed in owning a satisfactory market portion, constant observation and examination of competitors' pricing is required, as well as continually pushing prices down;
Positive branding – emphasizing the company's products as a better, healthier and safer choice compared to other current solutions is critical to enhancing consumers trust;
Easy to use – given that the company's products are to be used either by nurses and medical care providers or by patients themselves/ by their family members, the products must be intuitive to use and operate, and should not require specialized medical training;
The positioning of products – medical products must be positioned as 'Must-to-Have' to replace current leaders and be perceived as minimizing potential health-related risks.

First-mover advantage – LifeValves solution is virtually non-existent in today's market. LifeValves has a first-mover advantage of discovering a unique and beneficial backflow prevention method. With the same concept in mind, LifeValves will research and further develop its product line;
Strategic partners – LifeValves plans to operate in collaboration with an existing manufacturing company in the industry as an OEM/ODM (Original Equipment/Design Manufacturer) service. This collaboration will enable LifeValves manufacturing costs and require capital to be lower compared to other alternatives, as well as minimizing risks;
Proven efficiency and financial savings – The Bi-valvular security system will reduce costs per patient due to fewer complications and less of the medical staff's time spent per patient, in addition to less medical staff injuries;

Our vision is improving people's health around the world during their experiences with hospitals and medical needs by providing the best equipment to medical institutions. We create innovations in medical devices with sustainability in conjunction with medical providers providing a long-term solution and changing the medical devices for better and safer use.

Innovations in Medicines

The catheter-related medical device market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle-East, and according to Grand View Research are the following insights:

North-America held the largest share in 2014 due to affordability of advanced devices because of well-structured reimbursement procedures and a large number of surgeries as a consequence of the prevalence of lifestyle-associated disorders;
The Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region due to factors such as increased healthcare expenditure and the growing demand for technologically advanced products;
Emerging economies, such as China and India, show a growing demand for medical products. The purchasing power of the ever-increasing middle class is expected to increase to 42% by 2020 from 23% in 2009, so the patient population in emerging countries is increasingly opting for technologically advanced medical products, which drives demand for medical devices and catheterization processes.
End-User Characteristics.

Urinary incontinence increases with age: from 14% in ages 65–69 years to 45% in ages over 85 years. Therefore, the majority of users are elderly;
Due to its effects on quality of life, urinary incontinence patients with financial means seek residential care and ease to their discomfort;
Immobile patients are less suitable for alternative solutions (such as incontinence pads); therefore, they are more likely to use catheters.

Medical profile

The aging population is more susceptible to disorders like cardiac arrest, renal (kidney) failure, cirrhosis, and other conditions that require the use of catheters in their treatment. Therefore, they are expected to show an increasing need for catheters and related devices;
The growing prevalence of lifestyle-associated diseases like cardiovascular disorders, chronic renal failure, and a few types of cancer will affect the number of surgeries and, as a result, demand for catheters.
