Once implanted, the device works on its own, without manipulation, by placing pressure on the urethra to keep it closed. (The urethra is the tube that transports urine from the bladder, through the penis and out of the body.) This constant pressure can eliminate or reduce the possibility of urine leaking, even during strenuous activities such as lifting, exercising, sneezing and coughing.
With the InVance sling supporting your urethra internally, you may not need to do anything special to improve your urinary control. You will urinate in the same manner—but where and when you want to. |
