An involuntary urine control device (IUCD) having an inflatable collar membrane, the IUCD is inserted a short distance into the distal end of the urethra of a subject user, the IUCD includes the collar membrane which comprises an open ended tube of inflatable membrane material, typically about 30% to 90% of the length of the device; the collar membrane, in its inflated state, serves the purposes of providing sealing between the peripheral of the urine control device and the urethra wall; the collar membrane is inflated to move radially outward once the urine control device is inserted into the distal end of the urethra of a patient by the external supply of a fluid; the collar membrane in its deflated state, namely, with the inflating fluid removed, is substantially flush with the external diameters of the outer jacket of the urine control device to accommodate the thickness of the collar membrane.
