A female incontinence control device includes a conduit (12) having inlet and outlet openings (14, 16) for receiving, conducting and discharging urinary fluid. The device also includes structure (28, 36) for holding the conduit (12) in position relative to the urethra such that the inlet opening (14) is adapted to receive substantially all of the urinary fluids which drain from the bladder, and the outlet opening (16) of the conduit is positioned outside the urethra. In one embodiment of the invention, the device can be entirely contained within the labia majora. In other embodiments of the invention the conduit extends through the urethra to the bladder. In all embodiments of the invention a drainage control valve (40) is positioned within the conduit (12) for location intermediate the urethral orifice and the labia majora for manual actuation to selectively control urinary flow through the conduit (12). |
