History
EastMed is a Maritime company established to manufacture and distribute the uresta® Continence Care Kit. EastMed’s primary goal is to develop truly innovative medical products focused on solving women’s problems. More importantly, the company’s product offerings are developed with women’s quality of life and active living in mind.

The uresta® bladder support was developed by Dr. Scott Farrell, a urogynecologist based in Halifax with 20 years experience treating women with urinary incontinence. Dr. Farrell recognized that there was a gap in the treatment options for women with stress incontinence and developed the uresta® bladder support to fill this gap. The uresta® bladder support set underwent testing for safety and effectiveness in a two-year prospective pilot study.

The study revealed that 76% of women, successfully fitted with the uresta® bladder support, went on to use it for the 12-month study and beyond. The uresta® bladder support significantly reduced incontinence by both objective and subjective measures. Most of these women were extremely pleased by the effectiveness of the uresta® bladder support and the ease of use.

EastMed is dedicated to delivering high quality and effective support to the healthcare professional whose patients are using the uresta® bladder support. This support includes a website www.uresta.ca, as well as a toll-free number 1-866-560-5690, which is supported by an experienced incontinence nurse.

Also available, to you and your patients, is an educational website established by Dr. Farrell www.womensbladderhealth.com
