(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 12, 2011 ) Boca Raton, FL -- Incontinence may be a more serious problem than you thinkÂ… According to the National Associate for Continence (NAFC), one third of men and women ages 30 through 70 have experienced loss of bladder control at some point in their adult lives and may still be living with the symptoms. The National Institute of Health (NIH) estimates that up to 17% of men and up to 27% of women over age 60 will experience incontinence at least once a week. Overall, incontinence affects approximately 200 million people worldwide and is often under-diagnosed and wrongly wrongly treated as a normal phase of aging. Now, there is a solution for men.
BioDerm, Inc. is dedicated to producing technologically advanced urinary management products that improve the standard of care and healthcare practice. Based out of Largo, Florida, BioDerm, Inc. develops and manufactures innovative hydrocolloid based medical devices that improve the quality of life for patients and reduce healthcare costs.
