with Cheryle Gartley

 

2009 has been an important and eventful year for incontinence.  Many contributions have been made to improve incontinence awareness, and though raising awareness is a challenge each year, the stigmas around the subject of incontinence seem to become less and less prevalent.  An increasingly open environment has allowed people to more freely address incontinence, a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. 

To help us get a better grasp on the past year’s contributions to incontinence awareness, we talked with Cheryle Gartley, President and Founder of The Simon Foundation for Continence.  Since 1983, The Simon Foundation has worked to "Bring the topic of incontinence out into the open, remove the stigma surrounding incontinence, and provide help and hope to people with incontinence, their families and the health professionals who provide their care." 

Gartley began The Simon Foundation with the aspiration of raising awareness about incontinence so that it would be looked at as a health problem like any other. Her goal was to remove stigmas, encourage people to see their doctors, and help those with incontinence to become socially continent, continuing to go out and interact in society as they would before they had incontinence.

BioDerm Proudly Presents: Liberty! The Solution to Bladder Control Problems

Liberty is more than just bladder control -- it is about a state of being: being dry and comfortable – all day, every day, being free to do whatever you want, whenever you want, being able to live an active lifestyle.

Liberty gives men the opportunity to make BC (bladder control) a part of their lives. With Liberty, men are victors: free to work, free to travel, free to play and free to live. The world as they know it is barrier-free because of Liberty.

Designed to be easy to use and easy to wear, Liberty seals gently and provides lasting comfort and dryness. Men who once suffered from loss of bladder control experience continued wear-time improvement and achieve 24 hours of wear-time or longer after only a few applications.

Men who have very limited mobility like Liberty because it keeps them comfortable and gives their caregivers a break. Men with spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, stroke, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, polio, bladder cancer and prostate cancer can lead more fulfilled lives with Liberty, free of bladder control problems.

Find out what our customers are saying about Liberty:


“Liberty has been a lifesaver. Wearing an indwelling catheter is not an optimal solution for a spinal cord injured person because of the great potential to contracting urinary tract infections. Liberty is not an invasive product, and it has allowed me to maintain my lifestyle with my work and family. It’s a wonderful option to have."

- John C.

“Just the fact that he is staying dry is enough. Instead of having to deal with the issue of putting catheters on and off, two or three times a day, we’re just set. We put Liberty on, and then he’s good for a day or more. It just made life easier.”

- Mrs. Susan Sherman, wife of Mr. George Sherman
