PROSTHETIC URINARY SPHINCTER WITH EXTERNAL CONTROL

摘要

The invention concerns a prosthetic urinary sphincter with external control. In this sphincter, the ring-shaped balloon (3) is arranged inside an inextensible sheath (7) likewise enclosing the corporeal duct (4). The invention is characterised in that the fluid circuit (5) comprises a branch conduit (9, 10) supplied by electromagnetic induction by means of an antenna (18,. while the means for supplying the electric pump (8) comprise, in an external housing (22), a control button (27) and means (24, 25) for generating and emitting an electromagnetic field the antenna (26) of which co-operates with the antenna (18) located inside the body.
