Testing a new artificial urinary sphincter for urine leakage
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether an implanted device called ARTUS® can safely and effectively reduce persistent urine leakage in men with severe stress incontinence. You may qualify if your symptoms have been present for over a year and you can attend follow-up visits and manage the device remote control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man age 18–80 when you sign consent
- Have urine leakage for more than 12 months
- Have severe stress urine leakage (tested by 24-hour pad weight results)
- Be able to read, understand, and sign consent, and follow study instructions
- Be willing to attend follow-up visits and use the device remote control on your own
- Accept that you cannot have MRI scans after surgery because the device is not MRI-safe

This study follows men who have urine leakage from stress (leakage with movement/coughing) after prostate surgery and receive a ProACT device. It looks at long-term outcomes over 5 years and checks safety, including for those who may need device removal or other treatments.
This study follows people who choose surgery using a synthetic under-the-urethra vaginal sling for stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing or exertion). It aims to track outcomes over time and help confirm the sling is safe and works as intended.
This trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
This pilot study tests a surgically implanted device designed to help women with severe stress urinary incontinence (uncontrolled urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise) who have not benefited from physical therapy or previous surgery. The device works like an artificial sphincter to help control urine flow.
This study tests a new device called UrOActive that helps men with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or moving). It aims to see if the device is safe and works well to control leaks.
This registry study follows men who have ongoing “stress” urine leakage after prostate cancer treatment and choose a sling or an artificial urinary sphincter. It aims to better understand outcomes and quality of life, and your care team uses check-in visits and questionnaires to track progress.
