The In-FastTM Ultra Sling System is used to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. To determine if it may be a good choice for you, take the incontinence quiz below and share your answers with your doctor.
- Do you ever experience unplanned, sudden urine loss either while sleeping or during the day?
- Do you experience leakage while laughing, sneezing, jumping or performing other movements that put pressure on the bladder?
- Do you have trouble holding your urine as you hurry to the bathroom?
- Do you frequently experience a sudden and immediate urge to urinate?
- Have you noticed a change in your frequency of urination?
- Do you visit the bathroom to urinate more than eight times per day?
- Do you currently wear pads or liners to protect against unplanned leaks?
- When planning a trip, outing or event, does the availability or location of restroom facilities affect your decision?

- Pubic bone deformities or other pathological conditions of the bone such as osteoporosis
- Untreated urinary or vaginal infections

Patient Profile
Renee is a 37-year-old female who has given birth to three children. She has developed a second-degree prolapse of the bladder. After the birth of her second child, Renee began to exhibit mild incontinence symptoms (leakage with lifting or sneezing). For the past three years, the incontinence has increased to a point where she leaks urine with only minimal exertion. She is wearing pads all of the time.
Renee was too embarrassed by her incontinence to discuss it with her physician. However, when she was diagnosed with the second-degree prolapse, she finally confided in her physician about the urinary leakage.
Renee and her physician discussed the treatments available for correcting the incontinence and the cystocele and decided that the In-FastTM Ultra Sling System was the best choice for her.
This scenario is based upon a composite of typical patient and physician experiences, and is not reflective of any one individual's medical situation. Individual situations and results may vary.
