The Restore Continence Device is an external female continence device indicated for the management of urinary leakage in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence. Although it can help control urinary incontinence, it will not correct the underlying cause of the condition.
The Restore Female Continence device is a simple, non invasive suction cup device which fits over the urinary meatus. Similar to a suction cup, air is squeezed out of the device's cap while it is positioned over the urinary meatus. When the cap is released, the device self-adheres to the anterior vaginal wall over the meatus via self-suction. If inadequate suction occurs, Aquaphor or an equivalent ointment can be applied to the outside rim of the device to enhance adhesion. The suction or negative pressure created by the device causes coaptation and occlusion of the meatus and therefore, increased urethral resistance. The amount of negative pressure generated by the device is optimized to counteract increases in intra-abdominal and intravesical pressure during valsalva thereby decreasing or preventing leakage.
The NEBL Restore Female Continence Cap is a device designed to manage urinary leakage in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence.

§ 876.5160 Urological clamp.
(a)
Identification. A urological clamp for males is a device used to close the urethra of a male to control urinary incontinence or to hold anesthetic or radiography contrast media in the urethra temporarily. It is an external clamp.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for internal use, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
