Cntrl+ Inc

Control made simple.

Cntrl+ Inc. has developed a patented reusable bladder support pessary for stress urinary incontinence. 1 in 3 adult women worldwide suffer from stress urinary incontinence, that’s upwards of 27 million women in the US and 64 million women in the EU. Our real-life testing has shown Cntrl+ to be 80-100% effective at preventing bladder leaks, and the same percentage of women find it very comfortable- undetectable in most cases. All FDA testing has been completed and passed; the device will launch in the US in mid-2024 and in the EU early 2025.

The patented Cntrl+ bladder support prevents bladder leaks by flexibly supporting the urethra.

At Cntrl+ our goal is to help women of all ages regain their comfort and confidence by conveniently helping them to manage bladder leaks, overactive bladder, forms of pelvic organ prolapse like rectocele and pelvic pain to live, life, freely!

I'm, Karen Brunet the founder of Cntrl+. I suffered undiagnosed until I was 30 from PCOS and what developed to stage 4 endometriosis. What followed were years of surgeries, fertility treatments, and following the births of my two miracle babies (16 months apart) a full hysterectomy, then the removal of my ovaries. Needless to say, my pelvic floor was left a mess, and my bladder leaks were terrible! My doctor's only advice was to wear pads (irritating and embarrassing), have surgery (too many complications/side effects), or try to be fitted with a semi-permanent uncomfortable pessary (yikes)!

For those that know me I can be tenacious and stubborn, so I began researching and started a medical supply company (ActivKare) focusing on quality medical devices and products for incontinence. 

My frustrations, research and business savvy led me to develop the Cntrl+ bladder support which not only helps women prevent stress urinary incontinence but can help to support the pelvic floor (especially during excercise) and may even help women manage overactive bladder and rectocele.
