title: [A device for feminine urinary incontinence].
abstract: Urinary incontinence is grave health problem which causes severe repercussions in the quality of life of those patients which suffer it and it is a serious risk factor in the development of pressure sores or ulcers. Urinary collecting sacks provide an option to deal with this problem even though up to present time these collecting sacks were only available for male patients. In this instrument usage article, the authors introduce a new device, VILUC, commercialized by Lauclar Laboratories in Spain, for feminine urinary incontinence as a possible alternate treatment for women affected by this problem who are incapable of maintaining a progressive and complete vesicle reeducation. The authors inform about how to install this device, its different components, how to care for it and the indications for its use in females who suffer from incontinence.
