Summary

This trial is to assess the safety and clinical performance of the Contino device in preventing Urinary Incontinence in male subjects with Sphincteric Incompetence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with moderate to severe urinary incontinence, using at least two pads per day due to weak bladder muscles. Participants should be relatively healthy (ECOG status of 0 or 1). Men who can't self-insert the Contino device, had recent prostate surgery, have non-stress incontinence causes, untreated narrow urethra, immune issues, uncontrolled diabetes or UTI's, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, are on certain blood thinners or have a BMI over 32 may not qualify.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of the Contino device in preventing urine leakage in men with weak bladder sphincter muscles. It aims to see if this device can reduce reliance on protective garments or pads.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects might include discomfort during insertion/removal of the device, possible urinary tract infections from repeated use and irritation within the urethra where the device sits.
