After a second glance, maybe Rochester Medical's (ROCM) device will prove to have a lower incidence of infection when compared to URMD's device. Here's an excerpt from a press release concerning another product of ROCM. I will research further to see if they plan to make their incontinence device medicated.

STEWARTVILLE, Minn., Nov 5 (Reuter) - Rochester Medical Corp ROCM.O said it will submit the findings of a clinical trial for its new Antibacterial Foley catheter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company said it will submit the findings in a 510K device application in the coming months, seeking approval to market the catheter in the United Staters. In a statement issued November 4, Rochester Medical said the Antibacterial Foley catheter was found to have a lower rate of catheter-associated bacterial urinary tract infection than a standard, non-medicated catheter in newly catheterized patients.

The clinical trial was conducted over the past year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and involved over 400 patients in acute care, intensive care unit, and surgical settings.
