Rochester Medical Corporation Earns Top Distinction from U.K. Continence Association

STEWARTVILLE, Minn., May 15  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rochester Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:ROCM) announced today that the United Kingdom's Association for Continence Advice (ACA) has awarded Rochester Medical its trophy for best product.  There were seventeen entries competing for the ACA "Look Good, Feel Good Award" at the ACA annual conference, including entries from the Company's major competitors.  The ACA is a membership organization for health and social care professionals concerned with the progression of care for continence.

Rochester Medical's HydroSil(R) Discreet Intermittent Catheter won the award.  The catheter is made of soft silicone and has a hydrophilic surface which makes it virtually friction-free when wetted with the sterile water packaged with each device.

Commenting on the Award, Hugh McLeod, Rochester Medical's U.K. General Manager said, "This is a great honor and an endorsement that will help inform the public about the benefits of our technology; especially about how comfortable and gentle the HydroSil is to use."

While the distinctive, compact packaging of the HydroSil Discreet catheter is unique to the U.K. market, the product represents the same proprietary catheter technology Rochester Medical markets worldwide through its broad line of Personal Catheters(R).

Rochester Medical Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets disposable medical catheters and devices for urological and continence care applications.  The Company markets under its own Rochester Medical(R) brands and under existing private label arrangements.
