LINC Medical is taking all necessary action to ensure that the impact of the current COVID-19 epidemic is minimised for our customers and staff.

Customers

We are doing everything we can to ensure that any disruption within our supply chain is minimised. However, if you have concerns about any particular product line, please contact us and we will be able to provide you with the latest update and lead times. Meter calibration times may be longer than usual as we work with a reduced staff capacity in the calibration laboratory.

Staff

Field based staff are suspending all non-essential travel and visits. Our technical team will continue to offer breakdown service but all non-essential clinical training will be rescheduled. Our warehouse team have taken additional social distancing precautions. Where possible, administration staff are working from home.

So many catheter users report having problems with their catheters. Whether infections, blockages, spasms or bypassing, most catheter users find that a product that is meant to help them live their daily lives can end up becoming an enemy within.

LINC catheters are designed to help the user, helping to solve some of the problems that catheter users face with the old foley catheter design. But often it’s difficult to communicate this to catheter users. So we recently spent some time coming up with a storyboard for a video which personifies the two contrasting types of catheter. Yes, we created catheter characters! In the video below, you will meet ‘Old Foley’, the grumpy old catheter that spends his time poking, prodding, blocking and refusing change. But soon after, the superhero LINC catheters come to rescue, booting out old Foley and demonstrating their super benefits for catheter users.

We had great fun producing this video and working with Piehole.tv to get it animated. They confessed to us during the production process that their animators had never been given the task of personifying a urinary catheter before! We think they did a sterling job.
