A new device to help women with bowel control, which affects an estimated 10 percent of the population in general (and far more MSers!) is being released nationwide. It's called the Eclipse System and in clinical trials, more than 85% found it effective.
FYI, the University of New Mexico is one of six hospitals offering the device now. Interested patients in NM should contact the UNM Urogynecology Clinic at 505-272-9474.

Designed for a woman’s body
Eclipse is the first vaginal insert designed to provide bowel control. The insert is placed in the same location as a tampon or a diaphragm, and can be removed at any time. A well-fit insert will be comfortable for almost all women. Women who were successfully fit with Eclipse in a 1-month study overwhelmingly reported comfort wearing the insert.
Designed to give you control
A detachable and discreet pump is used to inflate and deflate a balloon on the insert. The balloon is designed to control your rectum and prevent stool from passing when you’re not ready for it. When you’re ready to have a bowel movement, simply deflate the balloon. Once you have finished your bowel movement, inflate the balloon again and go on your way. This design allows you to actively control your bowels.
