Adjustable Continence Therapy for Women

Implantation of the Adjustable Continence Therapy for the treatment of female SUI.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adjustable Continence Therapy for Women (ACT)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Two ACT devices are implanted in each patient. The devices are intended for implantation in the paraurethral space, with the balloons located on each side of the urethra near the bladder neck. The ports are placed subcutaneously in the labia majora. The balloons are filled after implantation with an isotonic solution via needle injection into the port. The ACT implant can be placed using local, spinal or general anesthesia with the surgical instruments (provided separately).
