Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm, study with subjects acting as their own control designed to test the feasibility of a new artificial urinary sphincter the UroMems eAUS (investigational name of device called UroActive) in women.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: UroMems artificial urinary sphincter Female adults (18+) with urinary incontinence with reduced outlet resistance due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. |
Device: UroMems artificial urinary sphincter
Implantation of the device
