SSND-CNTRD4

Reclaim comfort and confidence in your daily routine with the SSND-CNTRD4. Engineered as a nicely contoured, shorter variation of our classic short catheter designs, this premium platinum-cured silicone sound is specifically tailored for prostate cancer survivors navigating post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. By removing the traditional flat tail-piece flange and replacing it with an integrated ball flange, this compact plug sits discreetly and securely within the forward canal, providing a reliable, self-retaining alternative to traditional external incontinence methodologies.

Anatomical Sizing & Sphincter Retention Mechanics:

• The Gradual Entry Taper: Begins with an approachable 7mm (21 French) diameter tip that smoothly guides the sound inward, gradually tapering up to 9.5mm (28 French) to gently expand the entry tract.

• The Lower-Friction Mid-Groove: Falls back slightly into a subtle 9.2mm relief valley, reducing surface tension just before the primary anchoring zone.

• The Primary Retention Node: Swells into a prominent 10.4mm retention ball designed to step just past the initial muscular threshold to establish an internal seal.

• The Sphincter Locking Valley: Drops into an 8.3mm (25 French) retention valley immediately behind the main ball. This allows the primary sphincter muscle to contract snugly within the groove, securely capturing the plug to prevent shifting during movement.

• The External Ball Flange: Concludes at a stylized 11.6mm ball flange that rests comfortably at the meatus, serving as an integrated external stop and providing a secure grip area for effortless removal. A larger Safety flange can be added if requested

Anatomical Depth Guide: With an overall length of approximately 4 inches (100mm) and a recommended insertion length of 80mm, this compact appliance is built specifically for localized, forward-canal placement. It completely lines the high-grip muscular zones of the anterior urethra to maintain a confident fluid seal without extending deeply into the bladder neck or pelvic floor.

👑 Bob's Choice Recommendations

• Experience Level: Beginner or Intermediate. Calibrated to a 10.4mm maximum insertable node, this model is an excellent intermediate choice for users who require an effective, self-retaining incontinence tool or a gentle short-column stretching sound.

• The Prime Durometer Recommendation: For extended daily wear, Bob highly recommends ordering this piece in our #00-50 (soft) material composition. This plush formulation is exceptionally compressible, allowing the 10.4mm retention ball to mold dynamically to your movements for an incredibly comfortable, low-fatigue experience.

• The Firm Alternative: If you are utilizing this piece as a structured, short-length calibration sound and want the retention nodes to remain perfectly rigid against tight muscle walls, selecting our #10 (medium) or #18 (firm) compositions provides crisp geometric definition.

Color Options: #18 and #30 are available in pure translucent. #00-20, #00-50, and #10 base colors are translucent white and can be mixed with any standard color.
