Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments, especially to a male urinary incontinence sling. BACKGROUND

[0002] Urinary incontinence is a common disease in men and women, especially in the elderly. For men, the main cause of urethral stress incontinence is surgical intervention on the small pelvis, especially radical prostatectomy, and endoscopic surgery of the prostate and urethra, which can cause damage to the sphincter muscle. Stress urinary incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence characterized by involuntary urination under physical stress. In the early stages of the disease, conservative measures can be used to improve the condition, such as pelvic floor exercises or biofeedback and electrical stimulation. For more severe cases of incontinence, surgical intervention is required.

[0003] For male urinary incontinence patients, two solutions have been commonly used in the past. The first is to wear adult diapers, and the second is to use a penis clamp on the patient's penis. When patients choose to wear adult diapers, they may feel hot and uncomfortable in the summer, and the diapers can cause discomfort, bacterial growth, and infection after wetting. Frequent replacement of adult diapers can also increase the cost of use. When patients use a penis clamp, the urethra is located in the central lower part of the penis and extends from the root to the front end. Therefore, the penis clamp is directly clamped on the patient's penis to tighten the urethra and prevent urinary incontinence. However, in the above method, the penis clamp can easily cause the skin of the penis to be clamped into the penis clamp during use, which can cause pain or injury to the patient. SUMMARY
