Heretofore, it has been difficult, if not impossible, to have an incontinence device to create that meets all requirements .. ".-... '

One known embodiment of this device consists of an elongated pouch with an inflatable ring at its open end. A drainage tube extends from the pocket to a pouch that is used to receive the trin. This type of device is external _; attached to the patient's body with P-bands and a strap. The inflatable ring is loosely positioned so that it covers the urethra and vagina.

It has been found that this type of incontinence device practically none of the urine given by the patient can collect when the patient is in a horizontal position. The reason for this is that the inflatable Hing in vertical position only loosely on the body. In addition, this type of device is undesirably large and therefore is complicated and expensive to manufacture. -

• Fig. Figure 2 is a side view of the device.

J? Ig »4 is a cross section taken along the line ± V-IV in * 3.

The incontinence gate direction according to the invention has a , Retaining element 10 made of elastic material. The holding element 10 is hollow and tapered towards one end. It bears an incised Äinne 10a, its purpose will be described below. At the narrow end of the Holding element 10 is preferably integrally attached to a urethral cap 11, which is also made of elastic but et-

what is made up of stiffer material.

The cap 11 includes a hollow chamber 15 which is connected to the channel 10a in the Haiteelement 10 is in connection. On the wall of the iCappe ^ ii are attached two drainage pipes I4. An end to everyone Drainage pipe 14 opens into the hollow chamber 1 * 3. A Bag or other receptacle not shown

arranged so that it can be connected via a tube 14a to one or the other tube 14 in a manner still to be "described " .

Its recess 15, which is formed by the hollow holding element 10 is, is via an opening 16 with the hollow chamber 13 in connection. \,

If desired, an elastic ring 17 can for example made of foamed polyurethane around the urethral cap 11 accordingly ! '' ig. 2 and 5 are laid around to one more later to serve the purpose described.

The incontinence device can be used by the patient in the following ways Way to be used.

The Malteeleraent 10 is inserted into the vagina 50 and holds on to G-rund its bevelled shape by itself. In this position the device is positioned so that the urethral ICappe 11 rests firmly and close to the body, as well as itself is at least substantially within the Xabien. she In this way it forms an intralabial reservoir and surrounds it in this position the orifice of the urethra 52. The dimensions of the cap 11 are chosen so that their walls immeiU-aejLtlicä. ^. from the urethral orifice 52. Thus the. = urethral cap 11 as a drain to prevent the outflow from the mouth 52

to collect and drain off emerging urine. A contact between the mouth and the walls of the cap is prevented. ....- "; -

When the device is in place, everything can be done from the Urine exiting urethral mouth 52 into the hollow chamber 13 and from there via one of the tubes 14 into a bag or container flow. °;

It should be noted that the urine, regardless of whether the patient is standing upright or lying horizontally the urethral orifice 52 can flow into the hollow chamber 15. The incised groove 10a ensures that, when the patient is lying horizontally, with the urethral Cap 11 can loosen somewhat from the body surface Urine down into this channel 10a and thus into the hollow chamber 13 can flow. Hence it actually is impossible for urine to leak outside of the device or can enter the vagina 50. That way will avoided the risk of infection.

The following describes the purpose of the drainage rotors 14, one of which, namely the rear one, with the - holding element 10 aligns while ,, the other, namely the front, like from "the drawings, is arranged at a distance therefrom. In use, it is advantageous that only one

Drainage tube 14 with the container or bag in communication stands, while the other through a pot after Pig. 1 is locked. Choosing the right drainage pipe 14-depends depends on which position the patient often adopts and under what pressure the urine is released.

All the fluid that is in the vagina · ixn area of the holding element 10 collects can "along the recess 15 and through the opening 16 for drainage into the hollow chamber 15 reach.

As already mentioned, a resilient ring 17 can be placed around the device and hold on there independently. Έν serves for greater convenience and, if desired, can be pretreated with medication in such a way that any possibility of infection is reduced.

Although the device is held in place essentially without aids, it can be "carried around" by a 12-piece or by means of straps, such as those used in known devices, for example, to be fixed more securely. On the other hand, a ring pessary of known design can also be attached to the holding element and inserted into the vagina with it. introduced in order to be stored in their upper region.

■ The If or direction is preferably made in one piece from elastic Molded plastic material.

From the above description it is clear that an incontinence device according to the invention effective TO11 works and is compact. Hence, a user actually does not become their presence notice, which equates to a significantly increased level of comfort comes. In addition, there is a contact between the walls of the cap and the urethral nun.ciu.ng- is avoided, the prevention of το ti infections is even further supported.

■ Although the gate direction is described as jiii As the solution to the problem of incontinence was described, it can also be used in any other application. further examples x'iir their ^ n ^ readun? " an acute disease or postoperative treatment, in the previous other methods, such as Ivatheterisatioii associated with the Infelrbiornjirerahr for application came in a hurry.
