Urethra

The tube that connects the bladder and penis: When urination occurs, the detrusor muscle causes the bladder to contract and the sphincter muscle to relax. This forces urine out of the bladder, into the urethra and out of the penis. Thus removing liquid waste (urine) from the body.

detrusan® electrical stimulation therapy is designed to exercise the sphincter, this builds the muscle tone required to manage Stress Incontinence.

detrusan® is a breakthrough FDA approved therapy for the treatment of urinary incontinence. If you suffer from UI, please take the time to peruse the information in this site and see if detrusan® is right for you.
