nir-vana innovation network

A Croatian company dedicated to the creation of innovative solutions for improved life
quality developed a modern and aesthetically appealing urinal bottle with an integrated non-invasive phosphorescent component that enables the bottle to glow in the dark. It is completely leak and spill proof, easy to use in the dark, portable, durable and both gender friendly. The products functionality has been upgraded with a waterproof screw cap which makes it safe against leakage and keeps unwanted odours inside the bottle.
The product is a highly functional urinal bottle with the special purpose to prevent a lot of nightly misfortunes. It is a medical supply for people with mobility impairments and night time urination issues with primary purpose to facilitate bladder pressure in conditions of complete absence of light.
With the end user in mind and to keep the product as efficient as possible we made it completely low-tech without unnecessary implementation of electronic components. It is simple and understandable without the need for instructions, although thorough instructions are enclosed with the product.

The product is made in collaboration with caregivers by taking the user experience highly into consideration. The producers transformed a commodity into a premium product, which has been equipped with multiple features. Two phosphorescent glowing elements have been implemented in strategic positions. The first one is the waterproof screw cap which makes it safe against leakage and at the same time keeps unwanted odours inside the bottle. The other phosphorescent element is integrated into the handle which is our unique technological feature.

This patented design highly contributes to meet the patient’s ergonomic needs. Besides all these features, the producer designed the bottle to stand out from an aesthetic point of view.

The product is made out of high grade medically approved materials. The body of the bottle is manufactured from HDPE and the handle is made from ABS, which are long lasting and sturdy materials. The capacity of the bottle is 1L. The product is also equipped with an ergonomic add-on for female users in form of a funnel.

The SME is looking for commercial or distribution service agreement, exclusive rights are also considered in order to expand their business abroad.
