Inclusion criteria

* Patient has SUI with normal detrusor activity confirmed with urodynamics * Patient has bladder capacity \>200 mL * Patient's incontinence has not shown any improvement for at least -6 months * Patient has failed prior treatments (e.g., behavior modification, bladder exercises, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, bulking injections, urethral suspensions and/or drug therapy)

Exclusion criteria

* Patient has known vesicoureteral reflux, vaginal prolapse beyond the introitus, or other significant pelvic floor abnormalities with high pressure instability * Patient has a neuromuscular disorder (e.g., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis) * Patient has uncontrolled diabetes * Patient is pregnant, lactating, or plans to become pregnant during the course of the study * Patient is morbidly obese (defined as 100 pounds over their ideal body weight, or BMI ≥40) and would not be expected to benefit from treatment * Patient has current or acute conditions involving cystitis or urethritis * Patient is scheduled to receive radiation treatment to the vicinity * Patients with a history of radiation treatment to the urethra or adjacent structures

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants That Experienced Biopsy Procedure-related Adverse Eventsat biopsy or between biopsy and treatmentBiopsy was required to generate AMDC products. Biopsy procedure-related events were defined as systemic responses to the biopsy procedure or injury at the biopsy site. Since biopsy occurred prior to AMDC treatment, results are presented independent of AMDC dose received. All biopsy procedure-related events either self-resolved or were easily treated.
