  "account": "MÖLNDAL, Sweden - The Surity line of incontinence management products from Wellspect HealthCare, a subsidiary of Dentsply Sirona, may now be covered by traditional Medicare for eligible patients when medically necessary. The company announced the news today. The Surity portfolio comprises the Surity Urinary Management System and external catheters for both men and women. Coverage is contingent upon beneficiaries meeting Medicare's criteria for permanent urinary incontinence. The specific coverage and reimbursement terms are determined by individual payers. Chris Schlenk, Group Vice President at Wellspect HealthCare, expressed that the Medicare coverage for the Surity portfolio is a major step forward for individuals dealing with permanent urinary incontinence. The brand expanded to the United States in 2026 with the introduction of its external catheters and urinary management system. Both products employ suction technology and are intended for uninterrupted overnight care, offering features for quiet operation and odor control. Approximately 13 million people in the U.S. face urinary incontinence, according to medical sources referenced in the announcement. Wellspect HealthCare operates in more than 40 countries and employs about 1,200 people.",
