LISTEN: Boiling Point Talks Finding Solutions with Steve Goddard of Resilia Medical
Admit it, we all remember having some sort of unfortunate urinary accident when we were young.
Though it’s uncomfortable and embarrassing, it’s pretty common when we’re kids and most of us grow out of it.
But for some women, this problem reoccurs again down the line through no fault of their own. About one in five women experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI) from motherhood, age, etc. Currently, the only solutions are surgical in extreme circumstances or some sort of pad or diaper. Steve Goddard is the CEO of a company with another discrete solution.
Resilia Medical Solutions’ product Uresta is a small item made of medical grade plastic which is inserted into the vagina and applies pressure to a woman’s urethra to block the passage of unwanted urine. The product was developed by Dr. Scott Farrell, an urogynecologist from Dalhousie University, when he noticed that most of his patients who suffered from SUI were not in need of surgery, but didn’t have a good solution to their problem.
In this episode of Boiling Point, hosts Greg Hemmings and Dave Veale chat with Goddard about Uresta, how it came to market and how for every challenge, there is always someone out looking for the solution.
