Adjustable Continence Therapy
An adjustable continence therapy device consists of small silicone balloons that are surgically placed under the bladder. Once adjusted, the balloons help protect against accidental leaking of urine by restoring the amount of pressure required to retain urine. It is used to treat stress urinary incontinence problems.
