1. An electrical stimulation system for controlling urinary incontinence comprising:

  • an elongated tubular body having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the tubular body further having first, second and third conductive regions, each conductive region having a volume resistivity in the range of approximately 1 to 2500 ohm-centimeters and separated by at least one non-conductive region, the first, second and third conductive regions configured to provide a first current path and a second current path, wherein the first and second current paths share one of the conductive regions; and

    electrical stimulation means communicating with the first, second and third conductive regions, for delivering a first signal at a first frequent to the first current path, and for delivering a second signal at a second frequency, different from the first frequency, to the second current path.
