BROOKFIELD, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–InControl Medical, LLC,a women’s health company focusing on female urinary incontinence, introducesInTone®andApex®, the non-surgical, drug-free treatments for female urinary incontinence to women in New Zealand.According to the New Zealand Continence Association, “More than 1.1 million (25%) of New Zealanders experience bladder or bowel control problems.

Broken down, this accounts for $7,000 per person with incontinence per year in health, loss of productivity, informal care and other costs.”

This is good news for the millions of women suffering from involuntary loss of urine. In addition to being an uncomfortable, personally sensitive condition, incontinence can be related to other serious health concerns, from pelvic pain to sexual dysfunction. Until now the only solution was expensive diapers or pads, taking medication or undergoing painful surgery.
