PTQ® Implants

for Faecal Incontinence

PTQ is an injectable soft-tissue bulking agent used to treat Faecal Incontinence.  PTQ is made up of two parts – the water-soluble gel (polyvinylpyrrolidone) that is absorbed and removed from the body in urine and the man-made, rubber-like, silicone elastomer implant material (cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane) that is permanent and not absorbed by the body.  It is this permanent material that causes the bulking effect after implantation.

PTQ Implants provide a simple daycase treatment that can augment the anal sphincter muscle. The result can dramatically improve anal sphincter function and subsequently improve your quality of life.

If you suffer from this condition, you should consider consulting with your doctor, who may refer you to a specialist treating this condition. Some diagnostic studies will need to be performed to determine if your incontinence can be improved or resolved completely with PTQ Implants.
