Safety and Efficacy Study of USTRAP™ in Male Urinary Incontinence

Prospective Interventional Safety and Efficacy Study of USTRAP™ in Male Urinary Incontinence. an Open, Randomised, Multicentre Study Versus Artificial Sphincter.

Few surgical methods to treat male stress urinary incontinence have been assessed in comparative, randomised interventional studies.

Ustrap is a new adjustable-pressure 4-arm device. The artificial sphincter is currently considered the gold standard device in this field.

The aim of this randomised prospective international study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the Ustrap® device comparatively with an artificial sphincter (AMS800) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence following prostate removal in cancer patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

Disease-related criteria:

• persistent urinary incontinence >= 12 months following radical prostatectomy for prostate adenocarcinoma

Population-related criteria:

• male subjects aged 18 years and over
• having provided free, informed written consent to take part in the study
• patients independent and able to use the collar without difficulty and able to manage an artificial sphincter
