About us

MedicaMetrix, Inc. was founded in 2004 and has developed a system for the quantitative measurement of prostate size that will become the new “gold standard” for prostate exams. Following a classic “razor blade” marketing strategy, the Company plans to deliver the system at no cost to the physician and sell the disposable procedure glove.

ProstaGlove will become the new standard for measuring prostate volume and growth. By enabling this measurement in the Urologist’s office at a cost that is a fraction of the current ‘gold standard’, the trans-rectal ultrasound, ProstaGlove will re-define prostate examination.

Issue and Opportunity

Roughly 60 million prostate exams are conducted every year in the US and EU for men over 45-50 years of age.  Today, physical examination of a the prostate relies heavily upon subjective impressions that do not provide an accurate basis for periodic comparison and monitoring, or clinical decisions.

The ProstaGlove will permit the acquisition of a quantitative measurement of prostate volume. This will allow more effective diagnosis and treatment of acute urinary retention, bladder outlet obstruction and related problems of the urinary tract, prostate.
