Primary Outcome Measures:
- Improvement of urinary incontinence based on 24-hour pad test [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The primary effectiveness end point will be improvement in pad weight defined as at least a 50% reduction in 24-hour pad weight from baseline to 12-months.
- Safety of the device characterized by reported adverse events [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Safety of the device, including the implant procedure.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Improvement of urinary incontinence based on 24-hour pad test [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 2 years, 3 years ]
- Improvement of urinary incontinence based on number of pad used [ Time Frame: baseline,1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years ]
- Subject reported improvement measured by the PGI-I [ Time Frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years ]
- Assessment of the frequency, severity and impact on quality of life of urinary incontinence based on ICIQ-UI short form [ Time Frame: baseline, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years ]
- Patient satisfaction questionaire [ Time Frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years ]
- Safety of the device characterized by reported adverse events [ Time Frame: Intraoperative, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 2 years, 3 years ]Safety of the device, including the implant procedure.
