Abstract
A method of treating urinary incontinence includes providing a urological device having a stem defining a lumen, a valve connected to a proximal portion of the stem and located in the lumen, and a head part connected to the stem and extending radially around the valve. The method further includes deploying the urological device by moving the stem and the valve and the head part out of a catheter and placing the head part and the valve of the urological device in a bladder of the user and placing the stem of the urological device in the urethra of the user.
