Urologic Design

Urologic Design is an early-stage medical device company focused on innovation in male continence care. It is developing a non-surgical urethral occlusion device for men living with stress urinary incontinence, a device smaller than a Tic Tac that is inserted about 1 cm into the tip of the urethra, where it gently expands to prevent leaks until the user is ready to void. The company is preparing for a first-in-human study to establish preliminary safety and usability, and the device has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Co-founder and chief scientific officer Dr. David Hesse is a board certified urologist and an associate professor of urology at the Yale School of Medicine.
