Tuluplast Patch Information Not Available in Medical Literature

I was unable to find any information about a "Tuluplast patch" in the provided medical evidence or in standard medical literature. This product name does not appear in current urological guidelines, FDA-approved devices, or peer-reviewed research for urinary incontinence management.

What You May Be Looking For

If you are seeking guidance on urinary incontinence management in geriatric or neurological patients, the following evidence-based approaches are available:

For Geriatric Patients with Urinary Incontinence

  • Annual screening for urinary incontinence should be performed in older adults, particularly those with diabetes, as this condition profoundly impacts quality of life and is associated with social isolation, depression, falls, and fractures 1.

  • Evaluate for reversible causes including urinary tract infection, urine retention, fecal impaction, restricted mobility, certain medications, polyuria, neurogenic bladder, prolapse, cystoceles, atrophic vaginitis, and vaginal candidiasis 1.

  • Avoid prolonged indwelling catheters whenever possible due to increased infection risk; consider intermittent catheterization or condom catheters as alternatives 1.

For Neurological Patients with Urinary Incontinence

  • Urodynamic studies should be performed in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) to assess bladder storage parameters and guide treatment 1.

  • Treatment options include anticholinergic medications, intermittent self-catheterization, botulinum toxin injections, posterior tibial nerve stimulation for select patients with urgency/frequency symptoms, and surgical interventions for refractory cases 1, 2.

  • Slings, artificial urinary sphincters, or bladder neck closure may be offered to select NLUTD patients with stress urinary incontinence and acceptable bladder storage parameters 1.

Recommendation

Please verify the correct product name or provide additional details about the specific incontinence management device you are inquiring about. If you meant a different product (such as external collection devices, penile clamps, or transdermal medication patches), please clarify so I can provide accurate, evidence-based guidance.
