Lindor is one of the brands created by the Hartmann Group, which began to advance the world of healthcare in 1818, when the pioneering industrialist Ludwig von Hartmann acquired a spinning mill. His son Paul Hartmann Sr. later founded the Paul Hartmann Bleaching, Dyeing and Dressing Company, a dressing production plant that revolutionised wound care.
However, our founding fathers were not just industrial pioneers. They instilled motivation, optimism and a high degree of commitment to improving healthcare that lives on in the company today.
Thanks to them, we continue to innovate and actively seek to improve healthcare in our business areas and in all parts of the world: Wound Care, Disinfection, Surgical Site Management, Incontinence Management and Self-Care.
At LINDOR AUSONIA, we offer you all our experience of more than 30 years dedicated to the well-being of people with incontinence. Because their aim has always been to inform, guide and advise, so that people with urinary incontinence do not see their quality of life affected.
Urinary incontinence occurs when you are unable to stop urine leaking from your urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder. Urine may leak from time to time. Or you may not be able to hold any urine at all.
The 3 main types of urinary incontinence are: Stress urinary incontinence, which occurs during certain activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. Urge incontinence, as a result of a sudden, urgent need to urinate. Then the bladder contracts and urine leaks out. You do not have enough time after you feel the need to urinate to get to the toilet before you urinate and overflow incontinence caused when the bladder cannot empty completely. This leads to postvoid dribbling. Mixed incontinence occurs when you have more than one type of urinary incontinence, while bowel incontinence is the inability to control the passage of stool. That problem is not discussed in this article.
Causes of urinary incontinence include: obstruction in the urinary system, neurological or brain problems, dementia or other mental health problems that make it difficult to feel and respond to the urge to urinate, problems with the urinary system, muscle and nerve problems, and weakness of the pelvic or urethral muscles.
Incontinence may be sudden and disappear after a short period of time. Or it may continue over the long term. Causes of sudden or temporary incontinence include: bed rest, such as when recovering from surgery, certain medications (such as diuretics, antidepressants, tranquilisers, some cough and cold remedies, and antihistamines), mental confusion, pregnancy, infection, or inflammation.These include mental confusion, pregnancy, prostate infection or inflammation, faecal impaction due to severe constipation, which puts pressure on the bladder, inflammation or infection of the urinary tract, and weight gain.
Causes that may extend over the long term: Alzheimer's disease, bladder cancer, bladder spasms, depression, large prostate in men, neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, or stroke, andor stroke, nerve or muscle damage after pelvic radiation treatment, pelvic prolapse in women: dropping or sliding of the bladder, urethra or rectum into the vaginal space. This can be caused by pregnancy and childbirth, problems with the urinary tract, spinal injuries and weakness of the sphincter, the circular muscles in the bladder that open and close the bladder. This can be caused by prostate surgery in men or vaginal surgery in women.
