Embodiment Construction

[0032] Obturator foramen in this application refers to such as Figure 12 The locked space shown is the space formed by the continuous occlusal of the bones in a locked state. This obturator is formed by the pubic bone (pubis) and ischium (ischium), and the genitals, including the bladder and urethra, are located behind the pubic bone and ischium. Between the genitals and the pubic bone there is the gap of Regius.

[0033] Therefore, the tension conversion device of the present invention is located at the lower end of the urethra, installed inside the Regius' space.

[0034] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the tension conversion device of the first embodiment of the present invention, figure 2 yes figure 1 The side schematic diagram of the tension conversion device.

[0036] Such as figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, the tension conversion device of t...

Abstract

Disclosed is a tension delivery device for preventing urinary incontinence, which includes: Retzius space-insertion portions which are respectively to be inserted into the Retzius spaces positioned on the left side and right side of the urethra and move in response to the pressure or the Retzius spaces; and a urethral support portion which extends convergently from the Retzius space-insertion portions and serves to support the urethra upward, wherein the lateral cross section of the urethral support portion becomes thinner from Retzius space-insertion portions toward the distal end, and a mesh structure may be provided along the outer surface of the tension transfer device. When the tension transfer device is inserted into the human body, the urethral support portion presses the urethra upward due to an increase in pressure of the Retzius spaces, while the mesh structure provided along the outer surface of the device usually induces the tension of the muscles around the urethra, thereby inhibiting involuntary urinary incontinence caused by muscular relaxation. Even when a urinary incontinence patient exercises, sneezes or coughs to increase the abdominal pressure instantaneously, the device can sufficiently inhibit urinary incontinence. Furthermore, the device does not require a guide needle holder that causes damage, and is minimally invasive so that damage associated with an invasive method can be reduced. Also, the device eliminates the need for spinal anesthesia or sedative anesthesia and does not cause discomfort that can occur when excessive local anesthesia is performed. In addition, it can be easily corrected in a non-invasive manner when the therapeutic effect thereof is insufficient. Furthermore, it is easily removed so that it makes it possible to perform surgery again using other methods when the therapeutic effect thereof is insufficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tension transfer device (Infra-Obturator tension transfer device: IOT) for suppressing or preventing urinary incontinence. For example, the tension transfer device is put into the body after only minimally incision of the lower part of the urethra. Retzius Space and the lower part of the urethra increase abdominal pressure, and suppress urinary incontinence due to muscle tension such as Retzius Space; or based on the structure combined with another mesh, prevent in advance the usual muscle tension. Urinary incontinence phenomenon. Background technique [0002] Involuntary urination is called urinary incontinence. Increased abdominal pressure with exercise or moving, laughing, or coughing may trigger urinary incontinence. The reasons are old age, pregnancy, childbirth, chronic cough, asthma, strenuous exercise, etc., sometimes accompanied by obesity or deepening symptoms of amenorrhea. This incontinence is usually c...
