Why solutions for stress urinary incontinence are outdated and archaic
/by Lauren Barker, CEO of UrestaLike many areas of women’s health, the stress urinary incontinence (SUI) market has a long history of underinvestment.

Over the years sanitary belts made of cloth and leather straps have been replaced by disposable pads and traditional pessaries, but unfortunately not much has changed since then. Today, investment in femtech is growing at unprecedented rates and we are finally starting to see true innovation in women’s health – Uresta is one such example.
