IncoStress asked:
The product it to prevent stress incontinence in women, was clinically trialled and some of the women no longer need surgery, looking to get into Boots with it. Product is patent protected and I am now looking for hostesses to go out and sell the product either by house parties or get it into local chemists. Anyone interested only serious emails please. I will train you and hold a training session in either Swansea or Cardiff. You will be paid on a commission basis. I am still supplying the hospital with the product.
The IncoStress is CE marked and has gone throught all the correct actions for this to be a medical device.
If you have a company and would like to sell this please contact me.
This is the only device that stops incontinence and exercises the pelvic muscles, without the user having to do anything. PROVED TO WORK.
Good points RM. It can only be used on stress Incontinence (SUI) as it works by closing the urethra via the vagina, at the same time supporting it and replacing the bladder back to it normal anatomical position. This prevents leakage, at the same time the shape of it allows the muscles to gently exercise themselves. It is reusable and very easy to insert. It has been published already and was presented at the UGIA in athens 2006 by the hospital and Swansea University, dept of life science. Can’t be used if pregnant or if an IUD is in place. Happy to answer any questions, or you can go to the website (still not finished) www.incostress.com

I’m curious – what kind of device would women want to spend money on? Surely cones and FES or any kind of muscle stimulators would be covered by the NHS, and it’s obviously not biofeedback based if the woman has to do nothing.
Who would diagnose your customers – how would you know your product was being used by the correct target group. What if a woman had urge incontinence? Or just frequency with a fear of incontinence? Or a mix of stress/urge? Can they still use it?
Perhaps, if your product has been shown to have good effect and the trials were conducted in a correct manner, then the best thing to do would be to get your results written up and published, and start targeting gynaecologists to prescribe it?
Just a thought. Good luck.
Edit: hmm – very interesting! You’re talking about restoring the normal bladder neck closure mechanism by mechanically correcting a displacement, right? I’m thinking along the lines of a ring pessary or something along the lines of an Introl (by Uromed). Scroll throught the catalogues, compare your prices and target the companies that already supply them – there’s already a market there, it’s a matter of beating the competition.
I wish you the best of luck!

I am the inventor of Incostress and have just found inadvertently this site.I would like to clarify that whoever wrote the post needs to get their facts correct.
We did go to trial with Incostress in 2006 and the results were published. We presented Incostress at the IUGA and not UGIA as the writer above indicated. The website (www.incostress.com) is certainly finished and has been since 2007.
This medical device can be used if the user has an IUD in place. It was designed to control female stress incontinence by supporting the urethra and bladder neck and not closing the urethra as the writer indicated.
Its main purpose is not to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, that is the responsibility of the user. It merly allows the user to identify the correct pelvic floor muscles for them to carry out the correct pelvic floor exercises.
In the case of OAB we are about to enter further trials at the John Radcliffe hospital. We have had customers writing to us to say if they use Incostess at night they do not get up as frequently.We do supply to several NHS trusts and are awaiting approval to go onto the FP10 drug tariff which means it will be on prescription in the UK. We do not sell at parties this is not the type of product for “parties”.
My company C&G Medicare Ltd manufacture Incostress in the UK and we are ISO13485 accredited as well as Canadian ISO13485 accredited. The product has been approved by the MHRA and holds a class IIa CE mark. If anyone wishes to obtain clinical data please contact me direct on info@incostress.com
We do not take any responsibility for the posts above.
