Project Overview

Urinary incontinence — the loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem with varying severity. The goal of this project is to design and produce a sterile, disposable device that can be placed into the urethra and worn for a short length of time to limit the episodes of urinary incontinence in women. This device would be made of soft, flexible silicone with a rigid removable inner stylet. A similar device was produced in the early 2000s and worked well in specific patient populations. The device is no longer available due to the company stopping production.
