Devices for Incontinence Treatment

• This is a latex or silicon device that can be
  used to treat stress incontinence in women.
  Inserted into the vagina, a pessary rests against
  the back of the pubic bone and supports the
  bladder. Pessaries are available in various
  forms, including donut and cube shapes, and must
  be fitted by a doctor. The fitting process is
  similar to choosing a comfortable pair of shoes,
  as the patient walks around for a few minutes to
  see how the device feels.

Devices for Incontinence Treatment

• Urine seal. These are adhesive foam pads which
  women place over the urethral opening. The pad
  creates a seal and prevents the leakage of urine,
  providing incontinence treatment. The pad is
  removed before urination and replaced with a new
  one afterward. The pad can be worn during
  exercise or physical activity, but shouldnt be
  worn during sexual intercourse. They should only
  be used to treat stress incontinence.

Artificial urinary sphincter.

• This tiny device is surgically implanted inside
  men to provide stress incontinence treatment. A
  doughnut-shaped cuff fits snugly around the
  urethra, while a pump is placed inside the
  scrotum. The cuff inflates and squeezes the
  urethra, preventing urine leakage. When the man
  needs to urinate, he uses the pump to deflate the
  cuff, opening up the urethra. Within a few
  minutes the cuff reinflates on its own.
