Acticon Neosphincter

The Acticon^® Neosphincter is used in men and women over age 18 to treat severe fecal incontinence when less invasive treatments have failed. It is a small, fluid-filled device that is completely implanted within the body. Once placed, no parts are visible. It is designed to mimic the natural function of the anal sphincter muscle, giving you control over bowel movements.

Benefits

The Acticon Neosphincter offers many benefits to women suffering from fecal incontinence:

• Improved control of bowel movements — Designed to mimic the natural function of the anal sphincter muscle, Acticon can help give you control over your bowel movements.
• All components are internal — All of the components are implanted within your body, so no one but you will know it is there.
• Easy to use — After Acticon is activated, you will be able to control your bowel movements by simply squeezing and releasing the lower, soft part of the control pump several times when you want to defecate.
