摘要： A kit to facilitate self-placement of an incontinence prevention device within the urethra includes a deployment base member, a deployment tube, a deployment pusher along with the incontinence prevention device in a sterile pack. The base member includes a rigid shaft of a predetermined length having a finger grip member at one end and a hook member at its opposite end. The shaft of the base member is adapted to fit through the lumen of the deployment tube with the hook projecting out from a proximal end of the deployment tube and with the hook engaging a retention loop on the incontinence prevention device when in its sterile package. Upon removal of the kit components, the deployment tube is slid off the deployment base member and, in doing so, the incontinence prevention device becomes loaded into the deployment tube. The pusher is then used to urge the incontinence prevention device from the deployment tube into the urethra.

摘要： The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for supporting the urethra in a patient to treat urinary incontinence. Support of the urethra involves forming a loop under the urethra with a structure referred to as a urethral support and applying an upward force with the support to hold the urethra in a more desired position. The present invention utilizes the space of Retzius within which portions of the urethral support are positioned. Ingrowth by surrounding tissues to the urethral support material provide further stability and such ingrowth, combined with the position of the support, allow sufficient tension to be applied to support to hold the urethra in place. Placement of such a urethral support is achieved by minimally invasive techniques, such as with the use of laparoscopic instruments. Such techniques allows placement of the urethral support by accessing the space of Retzius through the vaginal wall without penetrating the abdominal wall. Such techniques also avoid perforations of nearby organs, such as the bladder, by utilizing specialized penetration devices.

摘要： The disclosure provides an incontinence prevention device provided with a loop type retention structure. The retention structure is in the form of a closed loop attached to the distal end of a shaft. The shaft is configured to function as an incontinence prevention device. The retention structure projecting laterally from and configured non-concentrically about the longitudinal axis of the shaft retains the incontinence prevention device within the patient. The retention structure may additionally include a protuberance extending therefrom. There is further provided a method for using the urethral catheter.

摘要： An inflatable vaginal pessary of the invention, which can be mechanically inserted into and removed from the patient's vagina, comprises a tapered body inflatable at its large-diameter side and having an axial channel inflation of the pessary. This channel passes from the small-diameter end to the inflatable chamber and has a check valve at the outer end of the channel for inflation of the pessary. The pessary can be connected to and disconnected from a mechanism for insertion and removal of the pessary into and from the vaginal cavity. This mechanism has a hollow tubular housing with a funnel-like finder for engagement with the tapered end of the pessary. On the bottom of the finder the pessary installation mechanism has a threaded tubular stem that could be screwed into the threaded opening on the tapered end of the pessary. On the proximal end the mechanism has a pumping bulb for inflating the pessary via the check valve by squeezing the bulb, in the same manner as inflation of the occlusive cuff in a manually-operated blood-pressure measuring apparatus. The pessary of the invention can be easily installed into the patient's vagina by the patient herself. For this purpose, the pessary is connected to the aforementioned mechanism, inserted by the patient into an appropriate position inside her vagina, inflated to a required degree in order to fix the pessary in place, and is then disconnected from the mechanism for use during the day. In its inflated state with an increase diameter the pessary compresses the urethra through the vaginal wall and thus reduces the cross section of the urethral lumen. At the end of the day before the bed time, the patient easily reconnects the mechanism to the pessary, deflates the pessary, and removes the latter by means of the same mechanism.

摘要： Circuitry for providing playback of an audio message responsive to activation of a device is provided. The playback circuitry and storage for the voice signal may be provided in the form of a module that plugs into a receptacle in the device, and receives an activation signal and electrical power from the device. In some embodiments, the module may be recorded by an instructor or clinician for instructional or therapeutic purposes and changed as a subject progresses. In other embodiments the module may be prerecorded and selected depending on a situation. Applications range from instructional audio messages in a toothbrush or rental car, to advertising modules responsive to proximity of a potential customer or instructions in a medical device such as a defibrillator or glucose monitor. In another embodiment, the module may record audio responsive to activation of a driver upon which a crime is being committed, such as a carjacking.

摘要： A device for treatment of human urinary incontinence in the form of a catheter which can be inserted into the urethra and carries a balloon arrangement which can be filled with fluid to close off the urinary bladder, where the balloon arrangement holds the catheter in the lumen of the bladder. The fluid can be admitted to and discharged from the balloon arrangement via at least one channel running along the catheter wall which is closed off at the distal end of the distal part of the catheter. A self-closing valve is formed at a proximal end of the proximal part of the catheter. A hydraulic actuating mechanism is also located in the lumen of the urinary bladder. The hydraulic actuating mechanism can be hydraulically actuated by mechanical pressure exerted on a compressible balloon located at the distal end of the catheter. The compressible balloon is filled with fluid and is connected to the actuating mechanism via a connecting channel.
