Maybe They Can Work On The Marketing, But It's A Promising Product

Science can be wonderful, like this story about an invention that might make you laugh at first glance but is really, really important for many people: it's a bionic sphincter controller, invented by a South Florida guy who patented it and says he's close to bringing it to market. Ha ha, he said "sphincter"! But stop laughing: The thing is a valve that fits around the urethra and is controlled by a wireless fob or phone app, and it can open and close to control the flow of pee. This could be a life-changer for the incontinent elderly, people with spinal cord injuries, women who have problems after childbirth. Funny name for something that could be a huge help for many people. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
