Installing a joint on an axis, rather like a food clip, mechanically causes pressure on one side of the penis, which can cause the urethra to slip, making incontinence control ineffective. The Uriclip®, on the other hand, is designed in a vice, i.e. in a parallel position, in order to exert a balanced and centred pressure on the urethra to better obturate it and thus allow better control of incontinence.
