What Is Macroplastique

Macroplastique is an injectable soft-tissue urethral bulking agent for treating adult female stress urinary incontinence primarily due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Macroplastique is injected into the tissues surrounding the urethra.

How do you use macroplastique?

Macroplastique is indicated for transurethral injection in the treatment of adult women diagnosed with SUI primarily due to ISD. Tilt scope to a 30 – 45° angle. Orient needle with bevel toward urethral lumen. Advance needle into tissue to the first mark ~ 0.5 cm deep.

How does a bulking agent work?

Bulking agents may work by increasing the central filler volume and thereby increasing the power of sphincter. The timing of the procedures are rarely evidence approved, and mainly they are empirical, based on personal experience, availability of the injections and dedicated patients.
