Minimally Invasive Female Urinary Incontinence Devices Market Size

The global minimally invasive female urinary incontinence devices market generated notable revenues in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a notable CAGR during 2025-2034, driven by awareness of women's health, advances in urological technologies, and the growing aging female population. Minimally invasive approaches have increasingly become the favorable alternative to traditional surgery by providing sufficient symptom relief with reduced risk and less recovery time. These devices may include urethral slings, injectable bulking agents, urinary catheters, and electrical stimulation devices.

Technological advancements, along with advances in women's health awareness, are key motivations within the field for the use of minimally invasive devices. Healthcare providers have recently begun recommending minimally invasive therapies, as opposed to open surgical techniques, when addressing continence issues, particularly for older patients and those with comorbidities. In addition, the increasing funding by government initiatives and support for women’s health, along with greater access to urological care in developed and developing regions, is adding to the overall market momentum. The growing focus on outpatient and cost-conscious options around treatment is increasing the overall attraction of these devices within the urology segment.

Minimally Invasive Female Urinary Incontinence Devices Market Trends

The market is undergoing evolution with a series of developing trends aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and user-friendliness, including long-term management techniques. The most notable trend is the merging of smart technology into continence management devices. Wearable incontinence sensors and pelvic floor stimulators connected to apps for the tracking of immediate data and feedback, provide the patient with control over their therapies. The rise of biologically compatible injectable bulking agents continues to grow, with patients attracted to urethral support without any adverse effects.

This trend supports the number of patients looking for non-surgical treatment options and outpatient procedures associated with quick recovery. Manufacturers continue to develop custom-fit sling systems that are smaller and more compact catheters designed for female anatomies, making procedures less invasive and more comfortable. The growing trend of telehealth and remote patient monitoring is affecting the method of how treatments are being delivered, allowing for follow-up care and device usage to be followed using new at-home management techniques. In addition, there are emerging trends for sustainability in female urinary incontinence devices. Manufacturers are providing eco-friendly packaging and recyclable components.

Minimally Invasive Female Urinary Incontinence Devices Market Analysis

The urinary catheters segment generated notable revenues in 2024. Catheters (intermittent and indwelling) have already established a strong foothold for managing retention and incontinence regardless of the clinical care level, from acute hospital care to rehabilitation and home use. Urinary catheters remain an important focus of clinical healthcare in continence care, utilizing their advantages of being minimally invasive, user-friendly, and providing prompt relief of retention and urgency symptoms. This segment of continence care is especially popular with patients who experience mobility restrictions and have neurological impairments.

The need for urine catheters designed for females, with less potential for urinary tract infection, and increased comfort, is also becoming more common. The continued innovations in catheter materials, including hydrophilic coatings and those coated with antimicrobial properties, have demonstrated improved patient outcomes with decreased complications of catheterization. Therefore, disposable catheters are becoming increasingly popular, especially among home patients who require the continual use of catheters and who do not require sterilization of those devices daily. Similarly, compact and discreet catheters designed specifically with female patients in mind are becoming available to improve comfort for patients who desire privacy and ease of use.

The minimally invasive female urinary incontinence devices market from functional incontinence segment held a notable share in 2024, accelerated by the growing aging population and the rise of chronic conditions that are known to affect mobility and cognitive functions. Functional incontinence is defined as the inability of the person to reach the toilet in time to avoid wetting themselves, since the lack of mobility or cognitive decline prevents them from functioning in the urinary system. For women, functional incontinence may co-occur with arthritis, dementia, Parkinson's disease, or complications from ready, supportive, or user-friendly interventions, such as oral surgeries, as patients need at-home solutions.

Minimally invasive devices such as external urinary collecting systems, wearable absorbent sensors, and smart continence monitors may create opportunities to support those with functional incontinence. Both functional incontinence solutions that allow for skin breakdown, or risk infection in long-term care facilities, and minimally invasive interventions and devices, and added skilled services provided by allied health professionals, have become permeable, and have longer acceptance rates. Chronic care facilities integrated with behavioral therapies and devices that are employed with continence management, which also provides skilled interventions such as pelvic floor trainers and retraining programs for bladder management, are poorly understood but well appreciated.

Latin America minimally invasive female urinary incontinence devices market generated notable revenues in 2024. America is gradually improving due to increased access to health care, increased awareness of women's health issues, and investments in infrastructure to provide urological care. Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile contribute to regional growth driven by recent significant investment increases in patient education regarding incontinence and a growing recognition of increased diagnoses of urinary incontinence in women. Urban movement of women to urban centers has improved access to care, especially with more insurance to help with payment.

Public policy on aging is also placing continence management issues on state and federal agendas. Also, new local and regional medical device manufacturers and contract manufacturing with global companies are providing cost-effective, culturally responsive devices that meet regulatory compliance. Each of these products brings hope into improved construction and development into the growing range of care on continence management. In addition, regional growth also corresponds with the expansion of a better network of gynecology and urology specialists with access to improved screening and referral options for minimally invasive treatment.

Minimally Invasive Female Urinary Incontinence Devices Industry News

  • In January 2025, Elitone introduced its non-invasive pelvic floor treatment device in the UK, targeting the 42% of women experiencing bladder leaks. The FDA-cleared, CE-certified wearable works externally through a GelPad, delivering 100 contractions in 20 minutes without the need for internal insertion or surgery.
  • In March 2025, Resilia Inc., operating as Uresta, raised $3 million to support the launch of its device designed to address stress urinary incontinence in women. The flexible, insertable product worked by bracing the bladder and applying pressure to the urethra, helping to reduce or stop leaks during activities like exercise, coughing, or laughing.
