Contrelle® Activgard is a medical device for treating women who are experiencing stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI is the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine on effort or exertion, or on sneezing or coughing, lifting or exercising. 1 in 3 women suffer with SUI. This can affect women of all ages, and may occur at any time, but often starts in pregnancy, after childbirth or during the menopause.
It is made of a super soft biocompatible foam, and is disposable (single use) discreet and comfortable to use. Contrelle Activgard is easily vaginally inserted to restore the bladder to its natural position and to stop bladder leaks actually happening – straight away, rather than absorbing urine like traditional pads and liners. Find the right fit and results can be immediate on insertion. Contrelle Activgard is available in 3 sizes – the sizing kit contains one of each size to help a woman find the right fit for her.
