Abstract
A novel urethral plug assembly (1) having adhesive (6) which seals the plug assembly (1) against an internal wall thereby arresting movement of the plug assembly (1). The plug assembly (1) may comprise a solid body (2) which is of a sufficient diameter to occlude the urethra. Alternatively, the plug assembly (1) may comprise a body which has the ability to change its shape from a compressed to an elongated condition. In one embodiment of the invention, the adhesive (6) lies on the meatal plate (4) so as to secure the plug assembly (1) against the meatus urinarius. In a second embodiment, the adhesive (106) is on the body (102) of the plug assembly (100) so as to seal the plug assembly (100) against the urethra bladder neck or bladder wall. In a third embodiment, the adhesive (206) is on a portion of the meatal plate (204) so as to seal the plug assembly (200) at the tissue surrounding the meatus urinarius. The adhesive (206) seals the plug assembly (200) in place until the wearer wishes to void, at which point, the seal may be broken by the exertion of a downward pulling force on the plug assembly.
Claims
[received by the International Bureau on 9 May 1995 (09.05.95); original claims 1-19, 22 and 23 deleted; original claims 20 and and 21 amended; new claims 26-52 added (9 pages)]
20. A urethral plug having enhanced sealing capabilities comprising: a non-expandable body for internally occluding the urethra, a meatal plate attached to said body, having a layer of adhesive thereon for anchoring said meatal plate to the urethral meatus, whereby said anchoring by said adhesive, enhances a seal of said body to the urethral wall such that movement of the plug is arrested.
21. A method of using a urethral plug having enhanced sealing capabilities; providing a urethral plug comprising a body having an expandable portion adapted to expand in response to a stimulus external to said plug, said body having a layer of adhesive thereon, inserting said urethral plug into the urethra of a wearer, in a position such that it blocks the flow of urine, introducing a stimulus to said urethral plug, causing said expandable portion to expand in response thereto, sealing said body against the meatus urinarius, urethra, bladder neck, or bladder wall via said adhesive, retaining said expandable portion in place through said layer of adhesive, without the movement or slippage thereof from said position until the wearer wishes to void.
2 3
24. A method of using a urethral plug according to claim 21, further comprising anchoring said urethral plug at the urethral meatus.
25. A method of using a urethral plug according to claim 21, further comprising removing said urethral plug to void the bladder.
26. A remove-to-void device for controlling urinary incontinence comprising: a body having an expandable portion at one end, which is capable of expanding upon introduction of fluid, to form a plug, which when placed in a urethra through the natural opening thereof, and expanded, provides a urine-impermeable barrier to the flow of urine, which can only permit the passage of urine from the bladder by removal of the device, said body further having adhesive disposed thereon to anchor the body against a wall of the urethra, bladder neck or bladder, means for transmitting fluid into the interior of said expandable portion of said device, from a source external to said device, to enable said expandable portion to expand upon the introduction of fluid from the source, said expandable portion having a hollow interior, which hollow interior is in fluid communication with an opening in said body, on the end of the body opposite the end which has said expandable portion,
said body defining a lumen fluidly coupling the opening and the hollow interior, a valve in the lumen preventing flow of the fluid from the expandable portion until flow of the fluid from the expandable portion is desired by the user, means for exerting a force on said valve to open said valve to allow deflation of the expandable portion when desired, and to enable the device to be removed in order to void.
27. The remove-to-void urethral plug according to claim 26, said adhesive comprising hydrogel adhesive.
28. The remove-to-void urethral plug according to claim 27, further comprising a means for anchoring at an end of the body opposite the end which has said expandable portion, whereby when the body is placed in the urethra, bladder neck or bladder, said means for anchoring abuts the urethral meatus.
29. The remove-to-void urethral plug according to claim 28, whereby said adhesive is disposed on said means for anchoring to seal said means for anchoring at the urethral meatus.
30. The remove-to-void urethral plug for controlling urinary incontinence according to claim 26, said adhesive being disposed on said expandable portion.
2 5
31. The remove-to-void urethral plug for controlling urinary incontinence according to claim 26, said body further having curved indentations on the periphery thereof.
32. A remove-to-void device for blocking unwanted flow of urine comprising an expandable member, said member comprising a plastic polymer possessing a first shape prior to insertion into a human body, said first shape being insufficient in size and volume to form a plug to block the flow of urine, and a second shape following insertion into a human body, said second shape being in response to the environment of the urethra, bladder neck or bladder, said second shape forming a urine-impermeable plug, said urine-impermeable plug being of sufficient size and volume so as to remain in place against the walls of the urethra, bladder neck, or bladder while blocking the flow of urine, such that in said first shape said member is adapted to be configured in its non-expanded disposition and in said second shape said member is adapted to be configured in its expanded disposition, said member further having adhesive disposed thereon so as to seal said member against a wall of the urethral meatus, urethra, bladder neck or bladder.
33. The remove-to-void device according to claim 32, said adhesive further comprising hydrogel adhesive.
34. The remove-to-void device according to claim 32, said member further comprising a means for anchoring disposed at
2 6
one end of said member, whereby when the member is placed in the urethra, bladder neck or bladder, said means for anchoring abuts the urethral meatus.
35. The remove-to-void device according to claim 34, whereby said adhesive is disposed on said means for anchoring so as to seal said means for anchoring at the meatus urinarius.
36. The remove-to-void device according to claim 32, said member further having curved indentations on the periphery thereof.
37. A plug assembly for use in the urethra to control urinary incontinence comprising: a housing adapted to be inserted into the natural opening of a wearer, said housing having adhesive disposed thereon to anchor said housing to the urethral meatus, urethra, bladder neck or bladder wall, means for mechanically changing the shape of said housing upon insertion into the natural opening, means for reversing the changing of the shape of said housing, so that the wearer may remove said housing from the natural urethral opening and effect bladder evacuation.
38. A plug assembly for use in the urethra to control urinary incontinence according to claim 37, said adhesive further comprising hydrogel adhesive.
2 7
39. The plug assembly for use in the urethra to control urinary incontinence according to claim 37, said housing further comprising a means for anchoring at one end thereof, such that when the housing is placed in the urethra, bladder neck or bladder, said means for anchoring abuts the urethral meatus.
40. The plug assembly for use in the urethra to control urinary incontinence according to claim 39, said means for anchoring having adhesive disposed thereon to seal said means for anchoring at the urethral meatus.
