NEOSPHINCTER
THE MACHINE IS USING US
March 25, 2007SYMPTOMATICITY
April 8, 2007Human-cyborg relations has never been a messier affair.
The Acticon® Neosphincter is the only implantable sphincter available for the treatment of severe fecal incontinence. Using the same technology that has been used for 30 years to treat urinary incontinence, the Acticon Neosphincter simulates normal sphincter function to give the patient control over defecation through a pressurized system.
The Acticon prosthesis can be implanted in both men and women with a pressure regulating balloon placed in the prevesical space, the cuff implanted around a segment of the anal canal, and the pump positioned in either the scrotum or the labium.
