UraGuard® can help you keep them safe and protected.
Athena’s UraGuard® Shield is designed to protect against harmful bacteria that can thrive in standard incontinence products. UraGuard® helps your loved ones maintain superior hygiene while giving you peace of mind.
UraGuard® was inspired by the stories of patients and families. All too often, family members express concern that their loved one not being changed in a timely fashion. They worry about prolonged exposure to moisture and bacteria when sitting in soiled incontinence products.
UraGuard® is here to help. UraGuard® provides an added layer of protection to support your loved one’s hygiene and comfort, while easing your concerns.

UraGuard® acts as a protective barrier, helping to prevent bacteria from traveling up the urethra.
UraGuard® provides continuous protection, day and night. Designed to be lightweight and comfortable, the shield offers effortless, around-the-clock defense against harmful bacteria, giving you peace of mind at all times.
