Male urinary incontinence affects millions of men, both young and old, around the world. Although it is a problem that does become more common in older individuals, spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, prostrate surgery and an array of other medical conditions all represent typical causes of incontinence even in young men.

Catheterization as part of incontinence management often fills the concerned individuals with dread. The thought of a tube being inserted into them is not a welcome one and many are aware of the trauma such an insertion can cause to a bladder.
