Largo, FL, Washington, DC – February 25, 2009 – BioDerm, Inc.’s Liberty™, a new external continence device for men, is the new technology of choice for managing men’s urinary output at Washington, D.C.’s National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH). On December 22, Liberty replaced condom catheters facility wide.

Earlier this year, NRH sought a new method for urinary output monitoring and management to comply with the new Medicare regulation CMS1533. The mandate, made effective October 1, 2008, states that hospitals will no longer be reimbursed for treatment of catheter-associated urinary tract infections developed during a patient’s stay. After a successful four-week product trial, Liberty was proven to meet NRH’s goals for optimal healthcare outcomes.

BioDerm was founded by Dr. Dennis Kay, a physician with extensive medical-device-industry experience. Liberty was invented to provide more freedom for men seeking a better method of bladder control. With a high incidence of indwelling catheter and diaper complications in acute care hospitals, BioDerm is offering Liberty to acute care hospitals as a way to eliminate urinary (Foley) catheters and diapers for many patients who require urine output monitoring or management.

“The National Rehabilitation Hospital is always looking for ways to improve patient care. The issue of incontinence management is one that many of our medical staff and patients face every day,” said Brenda McCall-Russell, Director of Nursing for NRH’s Brain Injury & Stroke Recovery Program. “Incorporating Liberty is one such way we can make a change on a minor level that will have a major impact, both in patient care, as well as in our overall spending.”

NRH is a private, not-for-profit facility located in Northwest Washington, D.C. NRH’s services are designed specifically for the rehabilitation of individuals with disabling injuries and illnesses such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and disease, arthritis, amputations, post-polio syndrome, chronic pain, back and neck pain, occupational injuries, cancer and cardiac disease that require medical rehabilitation, and other neurological and orthopedic conditions.

NRH admits approximately 2,200 inpatients annually, has appeared on the “Best Hospitals” list in U.S. News & World Report for 14 consecutive years and is currently ranked among the top hospitals for medical rehabilitation in America. NRH has the only CARF accredited specialty program for both Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke in the region. In addition, NRH’s Spinal Cord Injury Program has been designated one of only 14 Model SCI Systems of care in the country by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), a part of the Department of Education. NRH is a proud member of MedStar Health.

“We are thrilled to be working with such a highly acclaimed healthcare organization,” said BioDerm CEO Dr. Dennis Kay. “NRH improves the lives of thousands of patients every year, and we are honored to be a part of their reputation for excellence in clinical care. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for patients on their road to recovery.”
