Study summary

The ARTUS MONO implant is an active implantable medical device (AIMD) that assist the urethral sphincter function of female patients suffering from moderate to severe urinary incontinence, by remotely opening and closing a cuff placed around the bladder neck. The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of implantation of the device, its safety and its efficacy, when temporarily implanted in female patients scheduled for anterior pelvic exenteration for bladder cancer.
