A kit to facilitate self-placement of an incontinence prevention device within the urethra includes a deployment base member, a deployment tube, a deployment pusher along with the incontinence prevention device in a sterile pack. The base member includes a rigid shaft of a predetermined length having a finger grip member at one end and a hook member at its opposite end. The shaft of the base member is adapted to fit through the lumen of the deployment tube with the hook projecting out from a proximal end of the deployment tube and with the hook engaging a retention loop on the incontinence prevention device when in its sterile package. Upon removal of the kit components, the deployment tube is slid off the deployment base member and, in doing so, the incontinence prevention device becomes loaded into the deployment tube. The pusher is then used to urge the incontinence prevention device from the deployment tube into the urethra.

An apparatus for treating an anal or urinary incontinent patient includes an elongate adjustable constriction member (1) adapted to extend in a loop around and constrict the patient's large intestine or urethra to close the intestinal or urethral lumen and release the large intestine or urethra to open the intestinal or urethral lumen. A connection device releasably connects the end portions (4, 6) of the constriction member to each other and an adjustment device (2) adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member (1) in the loop to change the constriction of the large intestine or urethra. The connection device includes a female part (7) and a male part (5) fitting into the female part to lock them together. The design of the connection device facilitates laparoscopic surgery for implanting the constriction member.
摘要:
This invention is a device (10) for alleviating female urinary incontinence comprising a resilient and at least partially deformable device body (12) having a distal tip portion (18), a flange (24), and an intermediate frusta-conical portion (22) extending outwardly from the tip portion (8) to the flange (24). In use, upper wall portions of the intermediate frusta-conical portion (22) adjacent to the tip portion (18) are moved toward abutting relation to form a first vacuum region within the tip portion (18) and a second vacuum region within the frusta-conical portion (22). The meatus of the user is disposed in the second vacuum region and is advantageously prevented from entering the first region by the upper wall portions of the intermediate frusta-conical portion. With this arrangement, the meatus is disposed in a "tent" region (i.e., the second vacuum region) which has a broad base, an apex, and is prevented from entering the first vacuum region which has a narrower entrance that could detrimentally entrap meatal tissue.

An artificial sphincter comprises an anchoring element in form of a shape memory coil, which has a transition temperature, which is significantly higher than the human body temperature of about 37 °C. At least a portion of the cylindrical sphincter body is enclosed by the coil. The coil to be threaded onto threads provided at the exterior mantle face of the body. Also disclosed is a method for inserting and anchoring the sphincter in an urethra and a device for inserting and anchoring the sphincter which comprises a proximal end portion of about cylindrical shape, means for coupling with the sphincter disposed at the proximal end of said proximal end portion and being operable from a distal end portion thereof, a channel disposed within the proximal end portion which has an opening at the proximal end thereof for adducing an aqueous fluid of a temperature above 37 °C to the shape memory metal coil.
摘要:
A method for delivery of a biocompatible polymer composition for treatment of urinary incontinence provides for delivery of biocompatible polymer materials and a solidification agent through two lumens of a delivery device. The delivery device provides better control of the precipitation of the polymer in the periurethral tissue and detachment of the precipitated mass from the delivery device. The medical device includes a needle (10) having a lumen and an inner cannula (14) positioned within the needle lumen and moveable longitudinally in the needle lumen from an extended position to a withdrawn position to sheer or cut the delivered mass of polymer material away from the needle tip.

The present invention relates to a valve assembly adapted to be positioned into a urethra in a mammal, including humans, the valve assembly comprising a) a valve holder and b) a valve housing comprising a valve controlling an urine flow from a patient's bladder, the valve assembly being arranged in a sealed manner between the walls of the urethra, said valve holder comprises a cylindrically shaped body to be inserted into the urethra.
摘要:
A radiofrequency resonant circuit sensing device of the type comprising folded substrate wherein capacitor plates are mutually displaced to provide a shifted resonance frequency, a method of its production, an apparatus and sensing device comprising it; and its use for the detection of fluid levels, empty containers, and leak of fluids from containers and bodies containing said fluids; e.g. for monitoring collection of drain fluid from a human or for monitoring leak of fluid from a human suffering from urinary and/or faecal incontinence.
摘要:
The object of this invention is to provide a device for insertion into a body orifice such as the vagina, anus, a colostomi or an ileostomi which device comprises a body to which a string is attached. The device has a smooth and comfortable surface, is simple and inexpensive to produce and has at least one string so strongly secured to the body of the device that the string does not get detached even at extreme conditions. Also the fastening of the string inside the device does not prevent the device from being pressed to half size and inserted in an applicator. This object is obtained when at least one string by which the device may be pulled out is formed with means e.g. a soft material secured to the string or one or more loops. Preferably loop(s) can be secured on the string by a knot.
