Fecal incontinence due to low or absent tone of the anal sphincter represents, especially in the elderly, a problem that to date has not found yet a satisfactory solution in a not negligible number of patients. In this research we propose an original magnetic device to strengthen the hypotonic anal sphincter and prevent fecal incontinence

In this research we propose an original magnetic device to strengthen the hypotonic anal sphincter and prevent fecal incontinenceFile in questo prodotto:
