ProACT™ Technology
Good Samaritan Medical Center and Dr. Antonio Beltran, Urologist is now using the ProACT™ technology from URO-MEDICA. The ProACT™ system is implanted within the body to assist protection against accidental urine leakage.
The ProACT™, Adjustable Continence Therapy for Men consists of two small, adjustable silicone balloons each connected with tubing to a port. The balloons are placed where the prostate was removed or resected. The fluid-filled balloons apply pressure to and support the bladder neck, which helps prevent accidental leakage of urine. The ports are placed just below the skin in the patients’ scrotum allowing the physician to adjust the balloon to meet the patients’ individual needs.
Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Program
Our program treats both men and women suffering from bladder and bowel incontinence and/or pain in the pelvic region. Pelvic floor muscles may become weak, tight or spastic, as a result of disease, surgery,
childbirth or other trauma.
Specialized physical therapists at Good Samaritan Medical Center work with you to evaluate the cause of your pain or limitation in function. They perform an initial evaluation and develop a program to address your needs.
Treatment options include:
- Strengthening exercises
- Pelvic floor muscle stimulation
- Biofeedback for muscle training
- Internal and/or external therapeutic massage
- Myofacial release
- Education in bladder retraining, dietary irritants and relaxation techniques
- Development of an individualized home exercise plan
A physician’s prescription is required for physical therapy. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is covered by most insurance companies.
