This invention is a device (10) for controlling urinary incontinence in a female patient, including a shaft (12) having a length sufficient to transit the length of a female patient's urethra, a flange (16) externally extending from the shaft (12) proximate the proximal end of the shaft (12), effective for securing the shaft (12) in position within a female patient's urethra when the flange (16) is positioned between a female patient's labia minora and vestibular floor. The distal end portion of the shaft (12) is straight and free of any retention element having, or expandable to have, a diameter effective for seal engaging the urethra.
