STRUCTURE OF ARTIFICIAL URINARY BLADDER

摘要

A structure of artificial urinary bladder (1 ) comprises at least one inlet (11a and lib) that is adapted to be put in communication with a respective ureter (110a and 110b), and an outlet (13) that is adapted to be put in communication with the urethra (130) of the patient. The hollow container body (10) is made of a flexible material and is arranged to turn from an urine containing configuration (50) to a squeezed discharge configuration that causes a discharge of urine (50) through the outlet (13). A valve is provided (20) at the outlet (13) and actuating means (30) of the valve (20) is provided movable between a closed position for closing outlet (13), when the container (10) is in the urine containing configuration, and an open position, when the hollow flexible container body (10) is in the squeezed discharge configuration. Furthermore, a squeezing means (60) of the hollow container body (10) can be present that is adapted to pass from a rest position, simultaneously to the valve (20) staying in the closed position, to a position of squeezing the hollow container body (10), simultaneously to the valve (20) staying in the open position.
