Putting users in control
Our continence care solutions covers two main underlying conditions: urinary retention and incontinence. Both can be caused by different neurogenic and urology conditions, like spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, prostate and bladder issues.
Urinary retention occurs when people are unable to empty their bladders. For this, we provide intermittent catheters to help with bladder emptying.
For those living with urinary incontinence, we offer a range of solutions, including collecting devices.
