Problem
Many women experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI), characterized by bladder leaks during activities like exercise, coughing, or sneezing, which can significantly impact their quality of life. Traditional treatments are either surgical or require consistent effort over long periods of time to see results. Many women are looking for a non-surgical, at-home solution to treat SUI.
Solution
Flyte offers a clinically proven, at-home mechanotherapy treatment for stress urinary incontinence. The Flyte system consists of an intravaginal wand that delivers gentle mechanical oscillations to stimulate cellular responses in the pelvic floor muscles, restoring strength and bladder control. Used for just 5 minutes a day over a 6-week period, Flyte helps women strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles to reduce both the frequency and volume of urine leakage. The system is designed to be simple and easy to use, and it is backed by clinical studies demonstrating continence rates comparable to surgery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is women experiencing mild, moderate, or severe stress urinary incontinence who are seeking a non-surgical, at-home treatment option to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and reduce bladder leaks.
