to prepare a detailed report on the actual needs of the
patients regarding the use of medical devices, including absorbent products,

- The survey will collect anonymous statistical data and assess the situation of patients and their
carers, related to the use of medical devices, as well as diagnosing
any problems they face in this sphere. As part of the survey, we want to assess
the needs of patients with regard to the use of absorbents and other medical devices

The questionnaire consists of three parts with a total of 42 questions divided into three
thematic areas:

It will take no more than 15 minutes to complete the survey anonymously.
The survey is being carried out in partnership with HTA Consulting and will be active until

Urinary incontinence is one of the more prevalent problems of modern
world - it is assumed to affect at least 10 per cent of the population in developed countries.
In Poland, there is a lack of precise research indicating how many people are affected by this problem. For many years
estimates indicated that it could be around 2.5 million people - however, taking into account the passage of time
(progressive change in demographic structure, increased awareness), this figure may now be
significantly higher.
