MALE URINARY INCONTINENCE DEVICE

摘要

This invention is an apparatus for forming a fluid tight seal around a penis of a user for controlling male urinary incontinence, the apparatus having a substantially fluid impermeable sheath (40) having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, wherein, in use, at least a portion of the inner surface contacts the skin of the penis. The sheath (40) has a first longitudinally compliant portion (150), a second radially compliant portion (166) positioned between said proximal, and distal ends. The longitudinally compliant portion (150) can take the form of bellows, and the radially compliant portion (166) can take the form of flutes. A retention arrangement (168), such as a strap for retaining the radially compliant portion (166) about the circumference of the penis of a user can also be provided. The sheath (40) is, in use, attached at the proximal end to a retention ring (20) attached to a user.
