A system for managing female incontinence includes a body of biocompatible material configured to fit between the labia minora and the vestibule floor, the body having a surface configured to occlude the urethral meatus, an adhesive carried on at least a first portion of the surface and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, and a substance carried by at least one of the body and the adhesive and configured for controlling the odor of the general vaginal-urethral area of a female.

A vaginal insert device and method of use for improving and preventing symptoms associated with pelvic organ prolapse and urinary and/or fecal incontinence, administer medication or topical treatment, and/or collect a sample when the device is inserted, or any combination thereof. The vaginal insert device may be cone-shaped, may have a removal portion, may have external ridges, may have internal ribs, may have an open or closed top, or combinations thereof. The device may include cavities, diagnostic devices, and/or microchips.

An intravaginal device that has a hollow open-ended cylindrical body and a removal strip, wherein the body has features that keep the removal strip in a track. During removal when the removal strip is pulled, the cross-sectional area of the device is decreased. A kit includes the device, removal strip and an assistive wand to aid with insertion and removal.

A variety of medical and non-medical devices are exploited by users to address a wide range of conditions. However, in the vast majority of instances the device has a limited number of options with respect to its fit for the user and its performance. Further, the determination of target performance and fit are established on a qualitative basis rather than a quantitative basis. In many instances these combinations lead to low user acceptance of the device due to the resulting performance and fit issues. Accordingly, it would enhance performance and user acceptance if a quantitative determination provided a recommended type where options exist, and this determination provided the basis of a custom designed device to the user's specific anatomical and/or performance requirements.

Proposed is an apparatus for treating urinary incontinence. The apparatus for treating urinary incontinence includes a locking part having one side in contact with the external genitalia of a woman, an insertion part protruding from the one side of the locking part and extending a preset length so as to be inserted into the vagina of the woman; a contact part protruding forward from the insertion part so as to contact a specific point, on the front side of the vaginal wall, corresponding to a connection part between the distal urethra and the central urethra, and a support part protruding rearward in the opposite direction from the contact part so as to contact the rear side of the vaginal wall. The support part protrudes longer than the contact part to maintain contact with the specific point of the contact part.

The disclosure provides a device and method for managing urinary incontinence. The device includes a platform, a balloon, and a valve. The platform and balloon can include a silicone material, a thermoplastic material, and an adhesive and/or a cement for sealing the urethra. The thermoplastic and silicone materials can soften at the body temperature so that their shape can be adapted to fit the three-dimensional contour of surfaces of the urethra. The balloon seals the internal orifice of the urethra, and the platform can block the leakage associated with the balloon. The valve permits selective urine voiding. The method includes inserting the device into the urethra and the bladder. The method can also include inflating the balloon. The method can further include pulling the balloon so that the balloon is in sealing contact with the neck of the bladder and moving the platform to a suitable position for sealing the urethra.

Devices and methods for intra-vaginal bowel control.

An intra-vaginal device for controlling urinary incontinence, designed to be placed longitudinally in the vagina, includes: a. a deformable distal portion, placed in the subvesical region of the vagina, characterized by a deformable state and an un-deformable state; b. a deformable proximal portion placed in the sub-urethral portion of the vagina, characterized by a deformable state and an un-deformable state; c. a deformation controlling mechanism interconnecting said distal portion and said proximal portion, adapted to reversibly transform said distal portion and said proximal portion form said deformable state to said un-deformable state; and from said un-deformable state to said deformable state; wherein upon predetermined amount of intra-vaginal pressure applied on said proximal pressure, said deformation controlling mechanism is adapted to transform proximal portion from said un-deformable state to said deformable state such that pressure is applied on said urethra.

A method of manufacture for a vaginal insert. The vaginal insert may have a core, a cover, and a removal element. In various embodiments, the cover can be conformed to the vaginal insert.
