Embodiment Construction

[0051] It is emphasized that the urine flow control devices described below can also be used by persons who have difficulty emptying their bladders. However, for convenience, the urine flow control device of the present invention will be described hereinafter in the context of an incontinence device.

[0052] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a urine flow control device of an embodiment of the present invention for insertion into the urethra as an incontinence device 10 . Device 10 includes a body 12 having a first end 14 , an opposite second end 16 , and an intermediate portion 13 connecting first end 14 and second end 16 . Preferably, the body 12 having the first end 14 and the second end 16 is integrally molded from a soft flexible material such as silicone, while the internal parts or elements may be metallic, for example. The body extends along a longitudinal axis X of the device 10; in the embodiment shown, the axis X is straight.

[0053] A hollow chamber 18 is for...

Abstract

A urine flow control device, such as an incontinence device, for insertion into a urethra, device comprising: a body having a first end and an opposite second end and a middle part connecting the first end and the second end, a hollow chamber formed in the middle part allowing a mounting tool to extend from the first end to the second end, a fluid channel defined from the second end to the first end via the hollow chamber, a head part at the first end, the head part being integral with said body and comprising a chamber with a displaceable valve member and a valve seal surface, the head part formed so that when a mounting tool is positioned in the device the valve member is displaced inside the head part by the mounting tool and when the mounting tool is not in the device the valve member seals the valve seal surface so as to seal the fluid channel, the head part having an opening for receiving the mounting tool and for urine discharge, the second end being formed so that the distal end of the mounting tool elongates the body when inserted in the hollow chamber and applying an elongating force to the body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to urine flow control devices, such as incontinence devices. Background technique [0002] Incontinence is the inability of any bodily organs to restrain the expulsion of their contents; in the present context, incontinence is considered to be the involuntary discharge or excretion of urine. This can be for example during sports, like jumping, or when sneezing or laughing, where a person suffering from incontinence is in trouble. [0003] People suffering from incontinence are often forced to wear pads that collect urine that passes from the urethra. Additionally, a person suffering from incontinence may experience the discharge of urine resulting in an unpleasant odor, which may cause the person to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Therefore, there is a need for a device that hinders the uncontrolled discharge of urine. [0004] On the other hand, some people have difficulty emptying their bladders. This may be due ...
