METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INTRA-URETHRAL INCONTINENCE |
摘要 |
An intra-urethral device that can be used to inhibit leakage of urine due to incontinence is provided. The intra-urethral device can include a urethral plug (430) made from a biocompatible, flexible material, and can be formed into an oblong shape so as to better correspond to the contours of the female urinary tract. In some instances, the intra-urethral device can also include an insertion element (436) that can facilitate self-insertion and the ability of a fluid seal to form between the urethral plug (430) and the walls of the urethra. Furthermore, in some instances, various mechanisms can be provided to keep the intra-urethral device substantially sterile throughout the insertion process.
