The inflatable cylinders offer you penile girth with strong rigidity when inflated and a natural flaccid feel when deflated. The hydrophilic coating will enable the physician to choose her preferred aqueous solution and also may allow easier implantation. The penile prosthesis pump will inflate rapidly and deflate with a single touch.

The pump mechanism is easy to use. You can rapidly inflate the cylinders to a rigid erection and deflate with a single touch on the easily identifiable release button on the inflatable penile prosthesis pump.

Urinary incontinence (UI), sometimes referred to as “lack of bladder control”, is the involuntary loss of urine.

Patients suffering from UI are unable to control the release of urine from the bladder.

Urinary incontinence is estimated to affect 1 out of 10 males, with increasing prevalence associated with aging.

• Overactive bladder muscles
• Weakened pelvic floor muscles
• A side effect of surgical prostate cancer treatment
• An enlarged prostate (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia)
• Nerve damage that affects bladder control
• A disability or limited mobility that makes it difficult to get to the toilet promptly
• Chronic illness (e.g. Diabetes, vascular disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease)
• Being overweight
• Smoking

While Stress Urinary Incontinence is the most common type, there are different types of urinary incontinence.

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

Stress urinary incontinence is the unexpected leakage of urine when an outside pressure occurs with activities such as heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise.

This outside pressure causes the already weakened bladder to leak urine.

The bladder is held in place by the muscles and connective tissue in the pelvis. When these muscles are weak, the outside pressure can push the bladder downward, causing the urethra to open, and the urine to leak out.

A weak or damaged sphincter may also be the cause of stress urinary incontinence.

Urge incontinence

Urge incontinence, or also referred to as overactive bladder (OAB), occurs when a person is unable to hold back the urine long enough until he gets to a bathroom.

Patients often complain that although they feel the need to void in advance but begin leaking before they can reach a bathroom.

In rare cases, urge incontinence may be an early sign of bladder cancer.

Overflow incontinence

Overflow incontinence is the result of a person being unable to empty their bladder completely, due to an outlet obstruction such as an enlarged prostate, and ultimately the overflow of the bladder with the newly produced urine.

With overflow incontinence, the bladder overfills and leaks out the excess urine and the patient leaks urine continuously.

Functional incontinence

Functional incontinence is usually experienced by the elderly or disabled people who in fact have normal bladder control but cannot get to the toilet in time because of their limited mobility.

It is true that, as the risk factors for incontinence increase with age, the probability of experiencing continence-related issues increases too.

However, urinary incontinence can also be seen in children, adolescents, and adults too.

Nevertheless, if you often leak urine, do not accept it as a natural part of growing older.

Patients may abstain from reporting urinary incontinence due to embarrassment, but please keep in mind that urinary incontinence is often treatable. Seek medical assistance.
