The award is presented by senetics healthcare group GmbH &amp; Co. KG and under the patronage of the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care, and Prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intraurethral sphincter prosthesis researched by Alexander Preis, Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Reitelsh\u00f6fer, Prof. Dr. med. Ralf Rieker, and Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Ebert is ushering in a paradigm shift in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and is characterized by a minimally invasive approach that allows for outpatient implantation. Unlike previous solutions, which mainly address men, the novel implant can be used regardless of gender and does not require a lengthy healing phase before it can be used. In addition, the system impresses with its intuitive usability, which can significantly improve the quality of life of those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"fau-person thumb-size-small border\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"person-default\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esi.fau.de\/person\/prof-franke\/\"><span itemprop=\"name\"><span itemprop=\"honorificPrefix\">Prof. Dr.-Ing.<\/span> <span class=\"fullname\"><span itemprop=\"givenName\">J\u00f6rg<\/span> <span itemprop=\"familyName\">Franke<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h3><div class=\"person-info\"><span class=\"person-info-position\" itemprop=\"jobTitle\">Lehrstuhlinhaber<\/span><br><p itemprop=\"worksFor\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Department Maschinenbau (MB)<\/span><br><span itemprop=\"department\">Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Fertigungsautomatisierung und Produktionssystematik (FAPS, Prof. Franke)<\/span><br><\/p><ul class=\"contactlist\"><li class=\"person-info-phone telephone\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Telefon: <\/span><a itemprop=\"telephone\" href=\"tel:+49-9131-85-27569\">+49 9131 85-27569<\/a><\/li><li class=\"person-info-email email\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">E-Mail: <\/span><a itemprop=\"email\" href=\"mailto:joerg.franke@faps.fau.de\">joerg.franke@faps.fau.de<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Medical Technology 2025 Cooperation Congress in Ansbach, Alexander Preis from the FAPS Chair (ESI member Prof. Dr.-Ing.
