What is IncontiLase®?
IncontiLase® is an innovative, patented, Er:YAG laser therapy for
mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) based on
the revolutionary, non-invasive Fotona SMOOTH® technology.
How does IncontiLase® work?
The 2940 nm Er:YAG laser used for IncontiLase® features a
built-in proprietary technology called Fotona SMOOTH® that
enables delivery of precisely controlled laser-induced thermal
effects that stimulate collagen neogenesis and remodeling in
the mucosa tissue (in the region of the vestibule and urethral
orifice, as well as in the area along the anterior vaginal wall).
The end result of the IncontiLase® treatment is non-ablative
photothermal tension, shrinkage and tightening of the tissue in
the urethral and anterior bladder wall region and the return of
normal continence function.
Unique advantages of IncontiLase® for
your patients
For the majority of patients, two sessions of IncontiLase® with
a one-month interval were sufficient to alleviate mild or even
moderate stress urinary incontinence. No special pre-op
preparations or post-op precautions were necessary. Patients
could immediately return to their normal everyday activities.
Additional advantages of IncontiLase® are that the procedure
is incisionless and virtually painless, with no ablation, cutting,
bleeding, or sutures. Recovery is extremely quick without need
for the use of analgesics or antibiotics.Excelent clinical results from numerous
scientific studies
Since the introduction of Fotona SMOOTH® minimally invasive
laser gynecology in 2012, more than 35 SCI (high Science
Citation Index) publications have been published in the most
highly respected, peer-reviewed international journals. These
studies all show excellent results in the improvement of
incontinence and other genitourinary symptoms.
All Fotona medical lasers are CE marked and approved to be sold in the EU. For countries where specific national approvals or clearances are required, some of the products
and/or applications may not yet have been approved. Please check with Fotona, your local Fotona distributor or your national regulatory body about whether a specific
product or application has been approved to be marketed and sold in your country. Apart from non-invasiveness, the main
advantage of IncontiLase® over surgery
is that it can be applied as an ambulatory
procedure, which means a lower economic
burden.

One year following the IncontiLase®
treatment, we found significant improvement
in 77% of patients diagnosed with SUI.
Dr. Sabina Sencar "I would certainly recommend the Fotona
laser to colleagues. I see the future of
gynecology having greater emphasis based
on out-patient treatments rather than
invasive surgical treatments, wherever
possible and appropriate."
