Follow on Google News | Rochester Medical Corporation Names UroMed as a Provider for the FemSoft Urethral InsertUroMed, a leading urological medical supply company, has been officially named as a provider of the FemSoft ® urethral insert by Rochester Medical Corporation . UroMed is one of the nation's leading providers of urology supplies.
By: UroMed/Lisa Wells FemSoft is designed for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence or the involuntary loss of urine. This condition, affecting approximately 6.6 million women in the U.S., is caused by pressure on the bladder from everyday activities as common as laughing, sneezing, coughing, lifting a bag of groceries, rising from a sitting position, or exercising. "We are extremely pleased to add the FemSoft Insert to our wide range of urological products available for home delivery and we look forward to assisting women nationwide with this easy-to-use solution that stops involuntary urine loss immediately, without painful surgery," said Craig Stevens, UroMed President. The FemSoft Insert: A Soft, Easy-to-Use Solution The FemSoft Insert is a small, single-use, liquid and silicone device that a woman can easily insert into her urethra. The latex-free insert consists of a narrow, silicone tube, completely encapsulated by a soft, conformable, fluid-filled sleeve. As a woman inserts the thin device, the sleeve slides into and conforms to the urethra, creating an effective seal at the neck of the bladder to prevent unintended urine leakage. It is removed during routine bathroom visits, discarded and replaced by a fresh insert. The FemSoft Insert is prescribed by your regular doctor or family practitioner, or by a specialist like a gynecologist, urologist or gyno-urologist. After receiving a prescription, patients can contact UroMed at 1-800-841-1233 or visit www.uromed.com to place an order that is discreetly shipped to the woman's home. The FemSoft Insert Wins Physician and Patient Support "The clinical trial results indicated the FemSoft Insert is a highly effective treatment that can help women suffering from stress urinary incontinence return to their normal active lives," said Dr. Larry Sirls, Urologist, William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Mich. "In fact, our research found that 90 percent of the study participants were satisfied with dryness when using the FemSoft Insert. Participants also reported a high level of satisfaction and an overall improved quality of life. Nearly 80 percent of women indicated a desire to continue using the product and over 95 percent said they would recommend the FemSoft Insert to a friend." The FemSoft clinical trials were initiated by Rochester Medical Corporation at eight medical institutions throughout the United States including: Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.; Northeast Indiana Urology, P.C., Ft. Wayne, Ind.; San Diego Uro-Research, San Diego, Calif.; Shepherd Center Urology, Atlanta, Ga.; University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa; University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.; UroFitness, Aurora, Colo.; and William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Mich. "When I had problems with leaking, it made me feel very self-conscious and uncomfortable -- especially in social situations," Many of UroMed’s employees have a personal connection to understanding their customers’ urinary health and incontinence needs, as 20% of UroMed’s employees either has a disability or has a family member with a disabling condition. Most of UroMed’s customers experience urological or incontinence issues, and have conditions like Spinal Cord Injury, Spina Bifida, Transverse Myelitis or Multiple Sclerosis.
