Get back to life with Contino, a simple device that blocks the flow of urine, without surgery. It is a novel, comfortable, and effective way to deal with bladder leakage. Rapidly reduce diaper and pad usage, regain freedom, and live with dignity within seconds of Contino insertion.
The Contino urethral insert is a self-administered licensed medical device that controls bladder leakage in men.
The incontinence device physically blocks the flow of urine so that you can reduce or even eliminate your need for diapers or pads.
Contino is small, compact, and fits into a discreet case the size of an eyeglass container, so you can take fresh inserts with you and maintain an active lifestyle. No need to worry about bulky pads, potential odors, or leaks.
Contino is different from other options because it temporarily blocks the flow of urine, instead of capturing it in an adult diaper or a bag.
Contino is a good treatment option for all men following prostate surgery for BPH, and especially for prostate cancer.
All men who undergo a radical prostatectomy will have several months of urinary stress incontinence. In some cases, it may be permanent. During recovery, Contino is a great option until pelvic muscles have rehabilitated with Kegel exercises and physiotherapy.
Published outcomes (age related) with regards to regaining continence recovery show that older men take longer and have less chance of full recovery.

Effective BPH symptom relief with minimally invasive and low risk treatments.
Contino is designed to withstand the forces applied to it during its intended use.
Under normal conditions, there is no reason to expect Contino to break. The Contino urethral insert will stretch over time and should be replaced the earlier of 30 daily uses or when it does not fit snugly with the Contino Inserter.
In the unlikely event that the urethral insert breaks and remains in your urethra – for whatever reason or circumstance – try to palpate the device out. If unsuccessful, please go to the nearest medical clinic or Emergency Department to discuss your symptoms and obtain treatment.
Contino is not intended to be used with a full or near bladder, as it may release on its own resulting in involuntary urine leakage. It is also not intended to be used during sexual intercourse.
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. It is a debilitating condition that impacts the physical and emotional well-being of sufferers.
The Contino can be used daily, removing only to urinate.
The Contino and Contino Inserter are limited use reusable devices and will wear out over time and with use. The urethral insert is reusable for up to 30 daily uses, while the Inserter is reusable for up to 90 daily uses. One or more insertions in a single day is considered a daily use.
These devices are to be replaced the earlier of the recommended use (i.e. 30 or 90 daily uses) or noticeable wear including discolouring or stretching. Visually check the urethral insert and the Inserter before each use. If worn, they should be disposed of and replaced with a new one. They should not be used beyond the recommended daily use.
The Contino urethral insert and Contino Inserter are for single patient use only.
You may experience some discomfort when you insert the Contino the first few times. Your body may take a week or so to get used to the new device and procedures. However, you should not feel significant discomfort and/or pain when you use a properly sized Contino after your body has adapted to the device. If you experience significant discomfort while using the Contino during the training period, please consider using a smaller-sized Contino.
