World Continence Week – 17-23 June, 2024


Was Intermittent Self Catheterization (ISC) surprisingly doable for you? Have you heard any continence myths that you would like to debunk? 

Hollister is proud to be supporting World Continence Week and debunking continence and ISC myths.

We know ISC is often overlooked and that information on it is scarce. That’s why we are shedding a light on stories, thoughts, and experiences that aren’t usually discussed. We want to increase understanding of self-catheterization and empower more people – now and in the future.
