Living with urinary incontinence can significantly impact daily life, but relief is within reach. At Tanner Clinic in Utah, Dr. Laura Foot offers the innovative Bulkamid procedure, a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve bladder control and restore confidence.
What Is Bulkamid?
Bulkamid is a urethral bulking agent used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a condition where activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising cause urine leakage. The procedure involves injecting a soft hydrogel into the urethral wall, improving its closure function and reducing leaks.

- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed in-office or outpatient settings with minimal discomfort.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a day.
- Effective Results: Bulkamid provides long-lasting relief from urinary leakage.
- Safe and Durable: The hydrogel is biocompatible and maintains its effectiveness over time.
