| Television commercials, magazine
advertisements and continued public education by not-for-profit
organizations like the Simon Foundation for Continence have all
contributed to people with incontinence becoming more aware of the
increasingly diverse options available for the treatment, cure, and
management of incontinence. This awareness has lead to an
increasing demand for further information that goes beyond what can be
learned from advertisements. By providing you with links to many
of the leading companies within the incontinence industry, we hope you
will be able to learn a great deal about the treatments and management
techniques which are of interest to you. The information included
here is not meant to be a substitute for medical care.
Incontinence is a symptom. Always report incontinence to your
health professional and ask to be evaluated to determine the underlying
cause of your incontinence.
THE SIMON FOUNDATION'S POLICY:
The Simon Foundation does not endorse incontinence products, devices, or
specific treatment modalities. The for-profit corporations who are
listed here support this website with an annual financial contribution.
