AI Technical Summary
Existing treatments for urinary retention, such as home catheterization, long-term indwelling catheters, oral medications, and prostatectomy, have a serious impact on patients' quality of life and mental health, and their effectiveness is limited or they have side effects. Suprapubic cystostomy also affects the quality of life by leaving a fistula bag for a long time.
An implantable urination device was designed, including a valve, a drive wire, and a control unit. The valve is implanted in the bladder outflow tract, and the drive wire and control unit are located in the scrotum. The control unit controls the movement of the drive wire to open or close the valve. The device is made of nickel-cobalt-titanium alloy and silicone. The balloon deforms the drive wire to achieve minimally invasive and simple urination treatment.
It enables minimally invasive treatment for patients with chronic urinary retention caused by long-term bladder outflow tract obstruction, improves quality of life, regulates patients' psychological emotions, promotes physical and mental health, and avoids trauma caused by external objects and complex structures.
