    You may feel like no one talks about bowel leakage, but that doesn’t mean no one is suffering. Women of all ages experience varying degrees of loss of bowel control, with the average age of onset being 47 to 55.1, 6. 1 out of 11 adult women struggle with bowel control 3, yet over 70% of women remain silent 4.

    Why the Eclipse System for Bowel Control?

    Immediate Results: In the LIFE Study, 8 of 10 women who were successfully fit with the Eclipse System reported treatment success during 1-month of use.6

    No Surgery Required: The Eclipse System is fit and provided in a physician’s office

    Easy to Use: The vaginal insert is easy to place and easy to remove. Women can insert and remove the Eclipse System whenever they want.

    What is Loss of Bowel Control?

    The inability to control one’s bowels which results in the leakage of stool – also known as Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL) or Fecal Incontinence (FI) – is a real medical condition, and not merely a symptom of aging. Nerve or muscle damage in the pelvic region can affect bowel control, as can diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome or other gastrointestinal conditions. It can be embarrassing, even devastating in the wrong circumstances. Women who lose control of their bowels often feel like they have lost control of their life.

    What are the Symptoms?

    Loss of bowel control symptoms are varied. Common symptoms include:

    • Urgency: Sudden, strong urge to have a bowel movement
    • Passive soiling: Passing stool without knowing it
    • Incomplete emptying: “Can’t get it all out” during a bowel movement; the remaining stool can leak out later on

    Accidents can range from large to small to just stains in your underwear.  Sufferers may have some good days and some bad days, or may have accidents every day.  Women with bowel control issues may visit the bathroom frequently, and many report fearing a simple trip to work or the grocery store, and missing out on valuable time with friends and family. Unfortunately, many don’t bring it up with a doctor.

    The Eclipse System was developed to provide an effective, in-office, non-surgical treatment option for patients unsatisfied with current treatment solutions. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has a recommendation for non-surgical treatments (including Eclipse) as initial management of Fecal Incontinence.5

    The Eclipse System offers a wearable, yet removable, rectal control system with immediate results without pharmaceutical side-effects or the recovery time seen with traditional surgical treatments.

    The vaginal balloon is placed similarly to a tampon or pessary, which, when inflated, expands to compress the rectum, thereby preventing the accidental passage of stool.

    The Eclipse system can be used as an initial management of fecal incontinence, or in combination with other therapies, including diet modification, pelvic floor stimulation or therapy, medications, Sacral Neuromodulation, or previous surgical procedures.5

    LIFE Study

    The Eclipse System was studied in a multi-center clinical trial in the United States, called LIFE. The LIFE Study demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of the Eclipse System. One hundred and ten women who were eligible to be fitted with the Eclipse Insert enrolled in the study. Sixty-one women achieved a successful fit and went on to a one-month evaluation period.

    The LIFE study was led by Holly E. Richter, Ph.D., M.D., Director of the Division of Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and past President of the Society for Gynecological Surgeons (SGS). Primary results of this study were published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, and an additional analysis of the impact of Eclipse on bowel symptoms associated with ABL was published in Diseases of the Colon and Rectum.

    Success defined as >50% reduction in accidental bowel control episodes.6 Zero serious device-related adverse events were reported in the study. All device-related adverse events were rated as mild (78%) or moderate (22%). The majority of adverse events were experienced during the fitting period. There were substantially fewer occurrences once subjects were successfully fit with the device and entered treatment. The most common adverse event was pelvic cramping and discomfort, and other observed events included pelvic pain, vaginal spotting and urinary incontinence. 110 women participated in the fitting process, and 61 of those women entered the study; those who discontinued did so mostly for fit-related reasons. Those who were fit experienced a reduction from an average baseline of 6 episodes per week to 1 episode per week after 1 month of wear. Reference: LIFE Study6
