vacs device clinical study for incontinence treatment

Conditions: Urinary Incontinence

Summary: stress urinary incontinence (sui) is a common health condition in the female population. mid-urethral slings (mus) have proven to be effective in the treatment of female sui. trans-obturator tape (tot) has been demonstrated to be as effective as retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (tvt) with fewer major complications. in this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a newly developed, innovative medical device, as compared to tot, in the patients diagnosed with urinary incontinence and requiring the surgical intervention.

the study is an open-label, prospective, parallel-group, randomized, controlled medical device clinical trial, conducted in two centers. the two arms of the trial consist of patients randomized to the new device group and to the tot group. according to this distribution, one group will be subjected to the operation with the new device, and the other group will be subjected to the operation with a commercially available tot. primary objective: evaluation of the effectiveness of using the new device in the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence. secondary objectives: evaluation of the effects of the new device use on patients' quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and sexual functions, as well as assessment of safety. the study includes evaluation of the progress employing objective (pad weight, number of incontinence episodes, urodynamic tests) and subjective tests (questionnaires, diaries) during the 12 months follow-up period.
