Inspiring grandmother relieved husband's pain with a simple medical innovation made from a lotion tube

Shawn Sisco, wife and a grandmother, and also an inventor of a medical device called urinary cateter support. Her journey began when her husband had a very common prostate surgery and had a Foley catheter installed for his recovery, he began to complain of pain and discomfort until some day that he would not even get up from his hospital bed. His pain was increasing while he was at the nursing house and he had to take a lot of medication that was masking the real problem.
Someday they discovered that the catheter tube had started to erode his skin, the tube was torquing and created a one inch incision that got worse every time he moved.
Then Cisco had an idea. She looked around and found a plastic tube of some kind of product from dollar store. She emptied the tube and started working on her little craft project. After applying this advice on her husband he said that his pain was gone. The next day he was able to use a walker pain free and rejoin normal life.
After that, the homecare supervisor took a look at what her invention and recognize that was a very useful invention for that case. Later, a second nurse came out and also was impressed with the invention.
Shawn Cisco wanted to protect her invention and considered getting a patent. She googled medical device patent attorneys. And the search brought up John Rizvi at the patent professor. She was impressed with his credentials, and the way he presented online. When she called Mr. Rizvi, he completed her patent search and filed her provisional patent. But what was the next step? She had no medical background, industry connections or sales ability. Suddenly, she thought of the University of Minnesota. They were looking for medical products to develop during a summer program for bio engineering students. Currently, her invention is in final stages of development before it proceed to market.
