About Women's Health

With a dedicated focus on female urologic and gynecologic health, Bard equips the gynecologist, uro-gynecologist and urologist with a full line of results-driven products to diagnose and surgically treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse.

No matter your procedural preference or individual patients' needs, our products offer a variety of options—all with proven benefits in treating SUI. Bard's 4-Channel Urodynamic System is second-to-none in reliable diagnostic performance, providing easy-to-perform in-office testing for immediate results. Contigen® Bard® Collagen Implant sets the industry standard in bulking therapy for the treatment of SUI, without precluding the option of future surgery. Our PelviLace™ Implant Biourethral Support System is the Natural Evolution of gold standard sling therapy, offering a natural tissue option that facilitates healing and minimizes potential risks like erosion. The Uretex® Self-Anchoring Urethral Support System offers outstanding results with a new generation polypropylene mesh sling designed with strength, stability and integrity unmatched in the industry. And Uretex® TO offers all the benefits of one of the market's leading slings with the added safety of a trans-obturator approach.

In treating pelvic organ prolapse, Bard leads the way in developing implants that dramatically enhance the effectiveness of plication alone, for better long-term patient outcomes in pelvic reconstruction. No matter the tissue type or severity of prolapse, our implants—among them Pelvicol® Acellular Collagen Matrix, PelviSoft® BioMesh, and PelviTex™ Polypropylene Mesh—combine the best of science and technology benefits with minimal risk for complications.

We remain committed to advancing the knowledge of these critical pelvic health issues for patients and the healthcare community that serves them. For patients, we offer online educational resources and literature to help understand their diagnosis and empower their treatment decisions. And for surgeons, we provide a valuable educational experience with the Bard® MDU: Physician Education Continuum—an exclusive opportunity to gain new insights into pelvic reconstruction and the surgical correction of incontinence by observing accomplished specialists performing surgery live in-theater.
