99. Uresta: A reusable insert for bladder leaks with CEO Lauren Barker


Listen Later

In this episode I discuss with Lauren Barker, CEO of Uresta: 

  • The reasons why a Canadian Urogynecologist created the device for incontinence 
  • Differences between Uresta and a pessary
  • What does Uresta look like and what does it do?
  • Sizing
  • Suggestions for insertion and removal 
  • How long can it be left in?
  • How well does it work and which symptoms will it best address?
  • Pricing

Uresta was founded by world-renowned, Canadian urogynecologist and Dalhousie University Professor Dr. Scott A. Farrell. He recognized that the options for dealing with leaks were outdated, not to mention uncomfortable, and wanted to create a non-invasive, at-home solution.

In 2014, the company was acquired by a group of accomplished Canadian female entrepreneurs. This group, headed by former CEO and current board member Carol Chapman, immediately made plans to bring this life-changing product to the world. (Dr. Farrell is still actively involved today, serving as Uresta’s Chief Medical Officer and sits on the Board of Directors.)

Today, Uresta is led by our bright and determined CEO Lauren Barker. With a background in finance and an interest in women’s health, she’s in good company with our shareholder group, comprised of the chair of a top Canadian bank, a CEO of a renewable energy company, the lead partner for a global consulting firm, a division head of a global pharmaceutical company, and other amazing and powerful women determined to help women with incontinence take back control of their life.
