Building the Infrastructure Layer That Diapers Were Always Missing.
DiviDiaper is developing the Waste Isolation Platform™ — a medtech architecture that physically separates urine, stool, and catheter pathways inside the diaper to prevent cross-contamination before it starts. Designed to fit existing hospital reimbursement codes. Validated as manufacturable on existing diaper lines.
Standard Diapers Absorb. They Don't Stop Cross-Contamination.
Preventable infections are crippling patient care — and it starts inside the diaper.
34%
Diaper Dermatitis
Up to 34% of NICU infants develop diaper-related skin breakdown, often caused by urine-stool mixing — a major entry point for infection.
75%
CAUTI
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections account for more than 75% of hospital-acquired UTIs.
150M
UTIs Annually
Urinary tract infections impact over 150 million people worldwide annually, often linked to poor hygiene barriers.
11M
Sepsis Cases
"Sepsis contributes to 11 million cases worldwide each year — often beginning with preventable UTIs and skin infections."(WHO)
Behind every number is a patient a child, a parent, a loved one whose outcome could have been different if prevention started inside the diaper.
For Hospitals
CMS's HAC Reduction Program cuts Medicare reimbursement by 1% for the worst-performing 25% of hospitals on preventable infections — including CAUTI. Every avoidable infection is a direct financial event, not just a clinical one.
Diaper-related skin breakdown affects 32–60% of NICU infants. In catheterized patients, stool migration toward the catheter site is a documented pathway to UTIs, CAUTIs, and downstream complications.
For NICU & Pediatric Patients
Whether you're a NICU parent, a caregiver for a medically complex child, or managing incontinence care at home — you deserve a product designed to protect, not just absorb. Standard diapers were not built for high-risk care.
Families Shoulder the Burden
For the System
CAUTIs alone cost the U.S. healthcare system $340M–$450M+ annually. DiviDiaper is designed to interrupt the contamination pathway before it becomes a clinical event.
The Hidden Price of Inaction
Every infection not prevented is more than a statistic — it’s a life disrupted, a family in crisis, and a system under strain
UTIs and CAUTIs: Breaking the Chain of Infection
The Risk: How Infections Begin
-
Bacteria from stool or skin can travel into the urethra, causing Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).
-
Catheter use adds another layer of risk: irritation inside the urethra triggers biofilm formation.
-
Biofilm is a sticky, protein-based layer that acts like a superhighway for bacteria (E. coli, Klebsiella, etc.) to climb into the bladder.
-
Once biofilm forms, infections are much harder — and costlier — to treat.
The Solution: Prevention at the Source
-
Cathease™: Isolates the catheter in its own clean compartment, keeping stool and moisture away and preventing biofilm highways from forming.
-
Harlows™: Uses a patented divider to separate urine from stool inside the diaper, protecting skin and lowering the bacterial load at the source.
Together, these solutions cut off both external contamination and internal biofilm pathways — protecting patients and reducing costly hospital-acquired infections.
