urinary incontinence

Treatment of male stress urinary incontinence Indication: Male stress urinary incontinence with a residual function of the external sphincter muscle Long-term adjustable implant The ATOMS (Adjustable TransObturator Male System) is a long-term, single-use adjustable implant. This hydraulic sphincter-cushion system substitutes urinary sphincter function in incontinent adult males. ATOMS is used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in male patients Implant consists of monofilament mesh arms with a silicone cushion with fixation sutures The cushion supports the bulbar urethra Intra- or postoperative adjustment by filling/removing volume of the cushion to counteract either continuing incontinence or urinary retention ATOMS is made of biocompatible synthetic material Features Self-anchoring implant – no need for additional fixation elements Functional independency of patient’s mental and / or physical abilities (no manual activation/deactivation necessary) Benefits Implant postoperatively adjustable for all degrees of incontinence in patients with an existing residual sphincter muscle function Improved Quality of Life (QoL) in male patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) Efficient improvement of incontinence in male patients with mild, moderate and severe stress-urinary incontinence (after radical prostatectomy/prostate surgery) Postoperative adjustment of the implant by a minimal invasive treatment for multiple times to improve efficacy for each patient without increased risk of complications Very low risk of intraoperative complications
