ProteHer 🩷 — Preventing UTIs Before They Start Urinary tract infections affect millions of women every year, with high recurrence rates and limited preventive solutions. Most options focus on treatment after infection, leading to discomfort, antibiotic overuse, and reduced quality of life — especially for high-risk groups. ProteHer is developing a preventive hygiene solution based on chitosan hydrogel technology, designed to create a protective barrier that helps reduce the risk of urinary infections. The approach is non-invasive, easy to use, and focused on shifting from reactive treatment to daily protection. By addressing prevention, ProteHer aims to reduce recurrence, lower antibiotic dependency, and improve women’s health outcomes at scale. Starting with urinary infection protection, the vision is to expand into a broader line of protective hygiene solutions focused on high-risk populations and everyday use. ProteHer is rethinking women’s health by moving from treatment to prevention — making protection proactive, accessible, and scalable.
