An apparatus for controlling a flow of urine in a urethra of a patient is provided, comprising an implantable constriction device for constricting the urethra to influence the flow in the urinary tract. The constriction device comprises a plurality of clamping elements configured to be arranged in a common plane intersecting the urethra and to be radially movable towards and away from a central axis of the urethra to change a constriction of the urethra. The apparatus further comprises an operation device configured to operate the movement of the clamping elements, an implantable motor configured to operate the operation device, and a gear box configured to transfer a force generated by the motor into a force operating the operation device.

An apparatus for controlling the flow of urine in a urethra of a patient is provided, comprising an implantable adjustable constriction device for constricting the urethra to influence the flow in the urinary tract, an operation device for operating the constriction device, a control device for controlling the operation device, and an energy source for supplying energy to the operation device. The control device is configured to determine the current state of the energy source, and connected to an internal signal transmitter configured to transmit information related to the current state of the energy source.

A device dimensioned to temporarily retract the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis to allow for the healing of an infection or disease affecting the skin of the glans of the penis, external urethral orifice and foreskin. The device may be configured to stretch and constrict as needed without creating too much pressure as to cut off circulation, and/or include non-elastic and/or elastic synthetic material. Device may be available at different sizes to the patient to ensure the best fit. Device may perform other foreskin manipulation procedures, such as pulling it forward as opposed to retracting the foreskin. The use of such device.

The present invention relates to a male contraception apparatus for obtaining a time-limited sterility of a male mammalian individual. The apparatus comprises a restriction device adapted to restrict the lumen of a vas deferens of the mammalian, and a controller operable to control the restriction device to restrict the lumen of the vas deferens during a controlled period to prevent sperms from reaching the urethra of the mammalian. The apparatus further comprises an implantable constriction device configured to gently constrict at least one portion of a tissue wall of the vas deferens to restrict the lumen of the vas deferens such that the flow of sperms in the vas deferens is restricted, and a stimulation device configured to stimulate the constricted wall portion of the tissue wall.

A flexible male chastity device that may be permanently affixed to the scrotum and penis of the user and is substantially non-removable is disclosed. This device also includes a hinged insert or anti-pullout ring. Also, this device is constructed from ridged and flexible materials and includes multiple regions of overmolded synthetic coverings.

There is provided a method for controlling a flow of fluid in the vas deferens in order to obtain a controlled male contraception. The method comprises gently constricting (i.e., without substantially hampering the blood circulation in the tissue wall) at least one portion of the tissue wall to influence the flow vas deferens, and stimulating the constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the wall portion to further influence the flow in the vas deferens. The method can be used for restricting or stopping the flow in the vas deferens, or for actively moving the fluid in the vas deferens, with a low risk of injuring the organ.

The present invention relates to a male contraception apparatus for obtaining temporary sterility of a male mammalian individual. The apparatus has an implantable restriction device adapted to restrict vas deference in the region downstream the ampulla during a controlled period in order to preventing sperms to reach the urethra. Further, the apparatus has a control device for controlling the operation of the restriction device.
