Why does stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occur?
Urinary incontinence can be described as any involuntary or unwanted loss of urine. This situation is considered as a medical condition.
The ATOMS is a long-term, single-use adjustable implant. This hydraulic sphincter-cushion system supports urinary sphincter function in incontinent adult males.
