ContiReflex® Enhanced Artificial Urinary Sphincter is used to treat urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency in cases such as incontinence following prostate surgery.4
Unlike traditional devices, the ContiReflex® with its smart reflex balloon constantly senses intra-abdominal pressure changes and simultaneously adapts the pressure on the urethra, potentially helping patients stay dry more consistently.
The Reflex Balloon, with its dual component design, allows adjustment of pressure on the urethra in response to the patient’s sudden intra-abdominal pressure changes, promising improved outcomes with the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. In effect, this means that cuff occlusion pressure is no longer limited by the PRB’s labeled pressure.
The ContiReflex’s unique two-component design allows the system to adjust cuff pressure in real time, based on intra-abdominal pressure changes. This means that it can potentially achieve satisfactory continence outcomes with a lower baseline pressure than traditional devices. The lower baseline pressure also helps to reduce stress on the urethra, which could lead to longer device lifespan and reduced risk of urethral complications.
