ENvue Medical, Formerly NanoVibronix, UroShield® Kit Secures Reimbursement in the UK
Peak Medical, ENvue’s Exclusive Distributor in UK, Places Significant Order after Reimbursement Decision, Projecting Future Market Demand for UroShield® Kit
TYLER, Texas, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ENvue Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEED) (NASDAQ: NAOV) (“ENvue,” “ENvue Medical” or the “Company”), a medical technology company specializing in non-invasive therapeutic systems, today announced that the UroShield® Kit has been added to the UK National Health Service (NHS) Drug Tariff Part IX, enabling nationwide prescription reimbursement across the UK.
In parallel with this reimbursement milestone, ENvue Medical has secured an initial purchase order from Peak Medical, a leading UK-based distributor specializing in stoma care and urology medical devices with a vast network of hospitals and community settings, reflecting early commercial demand following NHS Drug Tariff inclusion.
The NHS Drug Tariff Part IX establishes a direct, prescription-based reimbursement pathway, significantly expanding access for the UroShield® Kit, which is used in conjunction with the UroShield® Actuator that was previously included in the NHS Drug Tariff Part IX in the UK in 2023, across community and hospital care settings. Long-term urinary catheterization is common in the UK, with published studies indicating catheter prevalence of approximately 6–7% in long-term care populations, a patient group associated with elevated risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).¹
UroShield® is a non-invasive device designed to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and catheter blockages by applying low-frequency ultrasonic energy to the catheter, helping to inhibit biofilm formation. CAUTIs are among the most common device-associated healthcare-acquired infections globally.²,³
“This represents a meaningful commercial and reimbursement inflection point for UroShield,” said Doron Besser, MD, Chief Executive Officer of ENvue Medical. “Drug Tariff inclusion removes a major reimbursement barrier and enables scalable NHS prescribing. The initial purchase order provides early revenue visibility heading into 2026 and is a first step in establishing our presence in European markets where reimbursement-driven access models and large catheterized patient populations may support future expansion. Our team will continue to assess reimbursement frameworks and market access pathways in select European countries as part of our longer-term portfolio strategy.”
Auriol Lawson, Managing Director of Peak Medical Ltd., said, “We are excited to partner with ENvue Medical after confirmation of this critically important reimbursement milestone for the UroShield® Kit. The addition to the NHS Drug Tariff Part IX opens up prescription reimbursement access for patients across the UK and allows us to bring to market leading technology that addresses significant challenges of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and side effects in our hospitals and communities. We remain committed to supporting our healthcare system in the UK with innovative, non-invasive solutions to improve patient outcomes such as the UroShield® Kit.”
