NON-INVASIVE DEVICE AGAINST URINARY INCONTINENCE
A non-invasive device against urinary incontinence is described, which is adapted to be applied to the external part of a human penis and which is so shaped as to operationally encircle the penis by compression, the penis internally including a urethral duct in a lower position and two cavernous bodies in lateral positions, the device including a first part adapted to operationally exert an even compression force on the upper part of the penis, and a second part adapted to operationally exert direct compression forces on both cavernous bodies and indirect compression forces on the urethral duct, induced by the direct compression forces exerted on both cavernous bodies, so as to achieve a stable lateral compression for closing the urethral duct.
TRANSDERMALLY POWERED MR-CONDITIONAL MEDICAL IMPLANT INFLATOR SYSTEM
A wirelessly powered inflatable medical implant system includes a medical provider software application, a patient external controller and a MR-Conditional, nonferrous pump in reservoir implant. The medical provider software application programs the patient external controller for the patient to transmit wireless power and control signals to circuitry in a pump in reservoir implant. In response, the pump in reservoir implant, containing a fluid reservoir and pump package submerged therein, transfers fluid from the reservoir through tubing, and into one or more inflatable medical implants. Submerging the pump package within the reservoir simplifies surgery in males and pump placement in females and provides pump package heatsinking to limit implant overheating.
Implantable device configured to treat pelvic organ prolapse
An implant configured to treat prolapse of a pelvic organ includes a support member and an extension portion projecting from the support member. The extension portion has a barbed fixation means provided thereon for anchoring the extension portion into pelvic paravaginal tissue. The barbed fixation means allow bi-directional adjustment of the barbed fixation means relative to the tissue, and when suitably located, the barbed fixation means engage the tissue. The support member comprises a mesh material having a mass density of less than 50 g/m.sup.2.
Male incontinence control device and method of controlling male incontinence
A male incontinence control device with a main elastomeric tubular body, a knob to occlude the urethra, and a feature in the tubular body to accept a spacing device/insert. The length of the spacer will define the minimum internal circumference of the main tube to optimize comfort and performance. There may be multiple sizes of spacers or adjustable spacers, in addition to attachable or adjustable knob embodiments. Removal features are designed to minimize body contact for increased comfort and performance.
EXTERNAL MALE INCONTINENCE CLAMP
An incontinence clamp is provided. The incontinence clamp includes an upper clamp arm and a lower clamp arm. Each of the upper and lower clamp arms include a first end, a second end, an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces face each other. A hinge pivotally connects the first ends of the upper and lower clamp arms together. An upper guide is coupled to the inner surface of the upper clamp arm and a lower guide is coupled to the inner surface of the lower clamp arm. A connector releasably connects the second ends of the upper clamp arm and the lower clamp arm together.
Device for male urinary incontinence
A health device for male urinary incontinence includes a strap suited to be wrapped and closed as a ring around the penis and provided with at least one projection that is directed towards the inside of the ring formed by the closed strap, the projection being suited to be positioned at the level of the urethral canal.
TRANSDERMALLY POWERED ELECTRIC PUMP IN RESERVOIR INFLATOR FOR INFLATABLE MEDICAL IMPLANTS
A wirelessly controlled inflatable medical implant system includes an external control module and an implantable module. The external control module may transmit wireless power and control signals, which are received by circuitry on a flexible printed circuit board in the implantable module. In response to the received signals, circuitry in the flexible printed circuit board may cause a motor and pump combination to transfer fluid from a reservoir in the implantable device, through tubing, and into inflatable medical implant located in the penis. The flexible printed circuit board, motor, and pump may be placed within the fluid reservoir, which provides a heat sink that prevents overheating of the implant.
External male incontinence clamp
An incontinence clamp is provided. The incontinence clamp includes an upper clamp arm and a lower clamp arm. Each of the upper and lower clamp arms include a first end, a second end, an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces face each other. A hinge pivotally connects the first ends of the upper and lower clamp arms together. An upper guide is coupled to the inner surface of the upper clamp arm and a lower guide is coupled to the inner surface of the lower clamp arm. A connector releasably connects the second ends of the upper clamp arm and the lower clamp arm together.
Urinary Incontinence Threshold Device
The present invention relates to a Urinary Incontinence Threshold Device (UITD) which encircles and applies pressure to a penis to stop urine flow. This is accomplished by an upper and lower member held together by O-rings on each side of the device. Pressure is applied to the penis by a disc attached to a threaded rod that passes through an adjusting nut located in the center of the upper member. By turning the adjusting nut, the pressure disc is raised or lowered changing the pressure being applied. Catches and latches attached to each side of the UITD allow the unit to be in a hold-open position for ease of installation. After installation, the latches are released by sequentially applying a diagonal force to opposing corners of the UITD. Scales located on each side of the UITD indicate the amount of pressure being applied to the penis.
