Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for preventing involuntary urination, preferably in femal ⁇ es and of the kind comprising an oblong mainly rod- shaped body with one ore more diameter increasing en- largements and with an interior conduit opening at a proximal end of the rod-shaped body and serving to receive a pin for use in inserting the device into the urethra, whereas the rod-shaped body is further prov ⁇ ided at its proximal end with a transverse flap or disc.
- US patent No.3,797,478 discloses a device functioning as a valve, comprising a hollow flexible plastic tube inside which a double-walled tube of a resilient material is arranged, which resilient tube projects beyond both ends of the plastic tube.
- a pressure med ⁇ ium is injected between the two walls of the double- walled tube whereby the ends of same projecting beyond the plastic tube are inflated and assume the shape of bulb-like enlargements with a larger diameter than that of the plastic tube.
- the inflation prevents in ⁇ voluntary urination, but at a sufficient high urine pressure a passage is opened through the double-walled tube.
- SUBSTITUTESHEET will feel irritating during use and, also, manipul ⁇ ation in connection with the insertion process is com ⁇ plicated by the prescribed inflation.
- the device being intended to,remain in the urethra also during volun- tary urination with the bulb-like enlargements posit ⁇ ioned immediately at the interior and exterior ostium of the urethra, there is a comparatively high risk of infection.
- US patent No.3,768,102 discloses a urethral plug with a valve function, comprising a mainly egg- shaped body in which one of two conduits which are arranged flush in the ends of the body at its inside serves as a seat for a spring-activated valve.
- This device is mainly intended for surgical implantation but may be designed for manual insertion through the outer ostium of the urethra to a position in which it is retained by the urethral muscles, possibly by means of a tissue compatible adhesive.
- SE publication No.463802 discloses an expand ⁇ able plug having two gas-filled chambers separated by a reversible valve. At insertion of this device, pres ⁇ sure is exerted on the chamber positioned at the ex ⁇ tremity of the urethra, whereby the pressure medium via the valve is transferred to and inflates the inner chamber so that it dilates. When the device is to be removed for voluntary urination the valve is opened, e.g. by means of a pull cord, whereby the pressure medium is again equally distributed in the two chambers and the device can be removed.
- US patent No.4,457,299 discloses a plug design ⁇ ed as an interior spring-biased ellipsoid body which normally will fill up the urethra, but at voluntary urination is affected by the urine pressure to elastic deformation whereby a urine flow passage is opened.
- This form-stable device must in practice be dimensioned based on a compromise between simple and effortless insertion and retraction and the sphincter- al function.
- a sufficient sealing of the urethra will normally entail irritation related to the insertion and retraction process, whereas making predominant allowance for manipulation comfort may result in an insufficient sealing function.
- the invention aims at providing a urinary incontinence device of the type hereinbefore described having a sufficient resilient deformability to permit effortless insertion and re ⁇ traction as a result of its reduced diameter as com ⁇ pared to the urethra, and which after insertion can expand to an efficient sealing condition without re- quiring inflation by means of external devices or in ⁇ terior springs or similar means.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the rod-shaped body is resiliently deformable in its longitudinal direct- ion, and that said diameter increasing enlargements are resiliently deformable so that, when the rod-shap ⁇ ed body has been brought into an extended insertion position by means of the insertion pin, they can be deformed to a reduced outer diameter permitting easy insertion into the urethra with little irritation to the tissue, whereas in a contracted condition of the rod-shaped body attained after retraction of the pin, they can assume an increased diameter so as to come into sealing contact against the surrounding tissue of the urethra.
- the rod-shaped body is extended or lengthened by means of the insertion pin through, resilient deformation from its tension relieved condition, whereby the likewise resiliently deformable enlargements, possibly as a direct result of the resilient length deformation of the rod-shaped body, will be deformed so as to assume a smaller outer diameter, thus considerably facilitating insertion.
- the pin When the device has been inserted into the urethra by means of the insertion pin with the transverse flap or disc in position against the outer ostium of the urethra, the pin is retracted and the rod-shaped body will contract longitudinally from the extended or lengthened insertion condition, whereby the resilient ⁇ ly deformable enlargements will assume a larger outer diameter for sealing contact against the surrounding tissue of the urethra.
- the resiliently deformable en ⁇ largements comprise one or more bellows-shaped port ⁇ ions lengthwise of the rod-shaped body.
- these bellows-shaped portions will as ⁇ sume a reduced diameter as a result of the resilient length deformation of the rod-shaped body, whereas they will acquire an increased diameter at contraction of the body after retraction of the pin so as to come into selaing contact againstthe urethra.
- the device is preferably dimensioned so that in a tension relieved condition of the rod-shaped body at least one bellows-shaped portion has an outer diameter exceeding the diameter of the urethra.
- the bellow-shaped portions also during use, i.e. after contraction of the rod-shaped body, will have a resilient bias for providing efficient sealing.
- the resiliently deformable enlargements may comprise a number of sub ⁇ stantially transverse lamellae protruding from the rod-shaped body.
- the resilient de ⁇ formation of the lamellae during insertion will mainly consist in a retroflexion of the lamellae ensuring easy and effortless insertion.
- At the lengthwise con ⁇ traction of the rod-shaped body after retraction of the insertion pin, particularly the lamellae position ⁇ ed close to the distal end of the device will come into sealing contact against the urethra.
- the device may comprise both a number of lamellae and one or more bellows-shaped portions.
- the device according to the invention has the particular advantage that the resil- iently deformable enlargements can be subjected to an additional compression at increased urine pressure, whereby the sealing effect is increased. The device is thus to a certain degree pressure compensating.
- the rod-shaped body with its resiliently deformable en ⁇ largements is preferably manufactured in one of a bio- compatible elastomeric, preferably thermoplastic material and can be supplied as a disposable article together with the insertion pin in a sterile packing.
- Figs 1-4, 6 and 7 are longitudinal sections of various embodiments of an urinary incontinence device according to the invention.
- Figs 1 and 2 show the same embodiment seen in an extended insertion condition and a contracted sealing condition, respectively, whereas Fig 5 shows the embodiment shown in Fig 4 in its oper- ational position in the female urethra.
- the urinary incontinence device comprises an oblong rod-shaped body 1, which on a considerable part of its length is provided with dia- meter increasing enlargements in the form of a bel ⁇ lows-shaped portion 2 and at its closed distal end has a transverse substantially disc-shaped lamella 3.
- the body 1 is provided with an internal con ⁇ duit 4, which as shown in Fig 1 serves to receive a pin 5, which is used at insertion of the device into the urethra.
- the device consists of a hollow body with largely uniform wall thickness over its entire length.
- the parts of the conduit 4, positioned outside the bellows portion 2 at the distal and proximal ends of the device will thus form an adequate guide for the insertion pin 5.
- the device At its proximal end the device is provided with a transverse pull flap or disc 6 for abutment on the outer ostium of the urethra.
- the device is manufactured in one piece of biocompat- ible resiliently deformable material, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, and can be produced in one operational sequence by thermoplastic processing, e.g. an initial injection moulding followed by a combined pull extrusion and blow moulding process of the kind described in the published international patent application W091/17728.
- the body 1 can be extended lengthwise during insertion by means of the pin 5 to assume the shape shown in Fig 1, in which the individual folds 2a in the bellows portion 2 assume a decreased outer diameter as compared with the tension relieved supply condition of the device.
- the bellows portion 2 will, when resiliently extended to the condition shown in Fig 1, assume a reduced outer diameter and can effort ⁇ lessly and without irritation be inserted into the urethra.
- the lamella 3 which in the supply condition may have substantially the same outer diameter as the bellows portion 2 will during insertion be bent backwards, e.g. to the position 3a shown in Fig 1.
- the pin 5 is retracted, and the device will then contract lengthwise, whereby the bel- lows portion 2 resumes a larger outer diameter and comes into sealing contact against the surrounding tissue of the urethra.
- the device will not quite revert to its tension relieved condition, but will maintain a certain resilient bias.
- the distal end of the device will get displaced towards the proximal end, and the lamella 3 will tilt and assume the forwards bent position 3b shown in Fig 2.
- the advantage is obtained that the device adapts to the actual urethral anatomy in a way causing no significant irritation to the user and is, to a certain extent, pressure com ⁇ pensating, inasmuch as an increase of the urine pres- sure as marked by an arrow P will increase the abut ⁇ ment pressure of the lamella 3 on the surrounding tissue thus improving the sealing property.
- pressure in ⁇ crease would result in a certain further compression of the bellows portion 2 or the part of it which is positioned closest to the distal end of the device.
- the comparatively elongated bel ⁇ lows which normally covers at least 40% of the total length of the body 1 results in a high sealing pro- perty due to the gradual pressure reduction lengthwise of the bellows from the distal end.
- the push pin 5 which for example can be made of a suitable plastic material with an adequate rigid ⁇ ity, e.g. nylon or the like, is provided with a grip 7 for use during retraction.
- the entire device can be supplied as a sterile packed disposable article with the push pin 5 inserted into the conduit 4.
- the insertion pin 5 may be provided with one or more, e.g. ball-shaped enlargements 8 having a slightly larger diameter than that of the conduit 4 in the insertion condition shown in Fig 1 so that a pull at the pin during retraction contributes to contract the rod-shaped body.
- the resilient ⁇ ly deformable enlargements on the rod-shaped body 9 are exclusively designed as transverse lamellae, of which two lamellae 10 and 11 at the distal end of the device have a somewhat larger outer diameter than the remaining lamellae 12.
- the lamellae 10, 11 and 12 which together provide a sort of labyrinth sealing, will be bent backwards, and when the insertion pin 13 is subsequently retracted the outer lamellae 10 and 11 will tilt in the way explained above and assume a for ⁇ wards bent position.
- the lamellae 12 may be designed as solid, thin disc-shaped lamellae integral with the rod- shaped body 9, it can be expedient to provide the outer lamellae 10 and 11 with a slit-like cav ⁇ ity 14 in connection with the conduit 15 serving to receive the insertion pin 13. During the resilient extension of the body 1, these lamellae will then to a certain extent be deformed in the same way as the individual folds of a bellows portion and assume a somewhat smaller diameter than in the supply condit ⁇ ion.
- the resilient ⁇ ly deformable enlargements of the rod-shaped body 16 are designed as two separate bellows-shaped portions 17 and 18 instead of one coherent elongated bellows portion as shown in Figs 1 and 2.
- this embodiment also comprises a transverse disc-shaped lamella 19 at the distal end of the device as shown in Figs 1 and 2.
- Such an embodiment with two separate bellows- shaped portions, which at insertion into the urethra as shown in Fig 5 position themselves on both sides of the spot M in the urethra where the pelvic muscles exert maximum sphincteral pressure may be advantageous with a view to supporting what remains of the urethral sphincteral function in cases of incontinence.
- the same effect can in many cases be obtained by a single shorter bellows portion, e.g. correspond ⁇ ing to the bellows portion 17 in Fig 4.
- a bellows portion 22 may also as shown in Fig 6 be designed so that the individual folds 22a have an unsymmetrical corbie- step shape so that the side of the fold facing the distal end forms a more acute angle with the longit ⁇ udinal axis of the rod-shaped body 23 than the side of the fold facing the proximal end.
- a further dist ⁇ inct diameter reduction can thereby be obtained in the resiliently extended insertion condition, and after contraction of the body 23 a retaining function will occur with improved safeguard against the device being pushed out.
- the conduit 27 for the insertion pin 28 is enveloped by a first permanent magnetic body 29 on a portion of its length measured from the proximal end, whereas another interior permanent magnetic body 30 is arranged close to the distal end of the device in extension of the conduit which, at retraction of the pin 28 is attracted to the first permanent magnetic body 29, thereby supporting the contraction of the body 24 from the resiliently extended insertion con ⁇ dition.
- This additional measure which will make pro ⁇ duction more expensive is normally not necessary in order to achieve the sealing function which is aimed at.
- the embodiment of the resiliently deformable enlargements of the rod-shaped body since in partic- ular the bellows-shape can be varied with a view to optimum adaptation.
- the device may for example con ⁇ ceivably be designed with a coherent bellows portion which in the supply condition has a larger diameter at the distal end of the device than at the proximal end.
- other types of resiliently deform ⁇ able enlargements can be imagined.

Abstract
Un dispositif permettant de prévenir les mictions involontaires surtout chez les femmes, se constituant d'un corps (1) de forme oblongue formant essentiellement un tube présentant un ou plusieurs tronçons de diamètre plus important (2, 3) dont le conduit interne (4) débouche à l'extrémité proximale de manière à accueillir une aiguille (5) servant à l'insertion du dispositif dans l'urètre. Le corps en forme de conduit (1) admet les déformations élastiques dans le sens de la longueur et les secteurs plus larges (2, 3) qui peuvent comporter un ou plusieurs tronçons en soufflet (2) ou des lamelles transversales, ou les deux, admettent des déformations élastiques de sorte que, lorsque le corps (1) est déployé afin d'être inserré au moyen de l'aiguille d'insertion (2, 28), ces tronçons en soufflet ou ces lamelles se déforment de sorte que le diamètre extérieur se trouve réduit et facilite ainsi l'insertion du dispositif dans l'urètre sans irriter les tissus, tandis qu'une fois que l'aiguille d'insertion (5, 28) a été retirée, le corps (1) se comprime à nouveau, de telle sorte que les tronçons en soufflet ou les lamelles acquièrent un diamètre plus grand et réalisent ainsi un contact étanche avec les tissus environnants de l'urètre.
