摘要 |
The invention relates to a urine flow control system (50) including a catheter device (10, 100) for insertion into a urethra, the catheter device (10, 100) having: a proximal end portion (14) and an opposite distal end portion (16, 102), a conduit (C) between said proximal end portion (14) and said distal end portion (16) having a urine inlet opening (2) at said proximal end portion (14) and a urine outlet opening (4, P) at said distal end portion (16, 102), and a magnetically actuatable valve located at said distal end portion (16, 102) for controlled discharge of urine from said catheter device (10, 100) through said outlet opening (4, P), and a magnetic actuator device with an actuator magnet (201), separate from said catheter device (10, 100), for operating said valve, characterized in said magnetic actuator device (200) comprising a housing (205) for receiving urine discharged from said catheter device (10, 100), said housing (205) having a first open end (202) configured for receiving said distal end portion (16, 102) with said magnetically actuatable valve and said outlet opening (4, P), and a second end, said housing (205) having at said first end (202) said actuator magnet (201). |

1. A urine flow control system (50) including:
a catheter device (10, 100) for insertion into a urethra, the catheter device (10, 100) having:
a proximal end portion (14) and an opposite distal end portion (16, 102),a conduit (C) between said proximal end portion (14) and said distal end portion (16) having a urine inlet opening (2) at said proximal end portion (14) and a urine outlet opening (4, P) at said distal end portion (16, 102), anda magnetically actuatable valve including a magnet (126) located at said distal end portion (16, 102) for controlled discharge of urine from said catheter device (10, 100) through said outlet opening (4, P), and a magnetic actuator device (200) separate from said catheter device (10, 100), for operating said valve,characterized in said magnetic actuator device (200) comprising a housing (205) with an open end for receiving urine discharged from said catheter device (10, 100), said housing (205) having at said first open end (202) an actuator for said operating of said valve, said actuator comprising a magnet (201) or a magnetically attractive material, such as a body (201′) of a magnetically attractive material. |
