Lisa Malyon invented the FloGO after identifying the inefficiencies with the existing methods and products on the market.

​

As the daughter of a nurse and a plumber, Lisa knew there was a better, and simpler way.  

​

Scenario 1 - Pre-continent or ‘nappy wearing’ patients 

​

As the mother of three young children, Lisa found herself bed-blocking in a busy paediatric A&E - on more than one occasion - while attempting to achieve a ‘clean catch’ urine sample by chasing an energetic toddler around a cubicle with a bowl - a requirement for most children before being discharged. 

​

Scenario 2 - Incontinence 

 

Lisa watched a family member with progressed dementia suffer with several urinary tract infections that couldn’t be properly diagnosed and treated due to the difficulties associated with achieving a urine sample from someone who is doubly incontinent.

“During my childhood I spent time with my Dad on plumbing jobs and loved the simplicity of making a system that worked. Meanwhile, I would hear my Mum talk about the challenges that nurses face and the inefficiencies in healthcare. I’m thankful to them both for their insight, encouragement and support. Named after my daughter, Florence, the FloGO is a family affair.”
