The Coloplast Virtue is one of the newest solutions for incontinence on the market. It offers men who are struggling with stress urinary incontinence a totally new way to deal with the problem. This particular solution is for men with mild to moderate incontinence who are dealing with the problem because of prostate removal surgery that took all or part of their prostate glands. The Virtue is a better all-around solution for incontinence for many different reasons. Here are just a few reasons that this is a better solution for most men.

For one thing, the Coloplast Virtue is a natural-feeling solution. It offers men a way to deal with their incontinence without having to feel its effects for their entire lives. Basically, it is inserted where the prostate gland once was, holding up the urethra and adding a bit of extra pressure. The whole thing feels natural. There is no need to manipulate a device in order to urinate, and once the area where the Virtue is inserted is healed, there is no need to take any special precautions when urinating or going about daily activities.

In addition, the Virtue is really easy to insert, and it doesn’t ever need to be replaced. The device is made of medical-grade plastic and has a special mesh sling. It is inserted through a small slit in the bottom of the penis, during an outpatient surgery. Once inserted, it is held in place by scar tissue, so it need never be removed or changed once the original surgery is over. The Virtue will stay in place for years, providing a long-term solution for stress urinary incontinence that men can put in and then forget about.

Finally, this device is pretty much risk-free. It’s made from materials that won’t break or degrade. It doesn’t change the anatomy of the penis except to replace the area where the prostate gland once was. It stays in place for life, and the surgery to insert it isn’t even complicated or dangerous. Recovery time after the surgery is minimal, and there is no learning how to use this device or risk of using it incorrectly. Once the Coloplast Virtue is in place, incontinence can become a thing of the past, and men who use this device have very little to worry about as far as incontinence goes ever again.

Stress urinary incontinence is a problem that affects a surprising number of men. Until recently, most treatment included implanting artificial urinary sphincters that required men to manipulate the devices in order to be able to urinate. Thankfully, however, a new product has recently come on the market that is changing this. The Coloplast Virtue is a remarkable sling that works to elevate and compress the urethra, helping to create continence. While there have been other slings used to treat the condition, the Virtue is the first to show success in people with moderate to severe incontinence.

For many men, incontinence occurs when pressure is increased in the abdomen, such as when laughing or coughing. This is common in men who have part of all of their prostate gland removed. The Coloplast Virtue works to realign the urethra to its original spot before the surgery, helping to recreate the natural structure of the urinary tract and helping to increase bladder control. For men who are able to achieve success with the sling, it is possible to greatly improve quality of life.

One of the most promising things about the revolutionary new Coloplast Virtue is that it can become a permanent or long term solution. The sling is implanted into the body through a tiny incision and the arms of the device are inserted through the bodily tissue, where scar tissue will form to hold it in place.

This device offers men facing urinary incontinence a great deal of freedom as well as hope. The Virtue is not a cure for incontinence, but it can go a long way towards treating the condition. Many men facing mild to severe incontinence have seen remarkable success with the device, and the ability to implant it in a minimally invasive manner makes it ideal for people who are uncomfortable with further surgery.
