AN INTRA-VAGIIMAL DEVICE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to intra-vaginal devices to aid in controlling urinary incontinence.
Background of the Invention
Disclosed in USA Patent 4,139,006 is an intra-vaginal device for controlling urinary incontinence in female patients. The device is slightly arcuate so as to have slightly raised anterior and posterior vaginal wall engaging portions with a lower central aperture. The anterior portion has a pair of projections generally within the plane of the device which engage the vaginal wall to apply pressure to the urethra, to close the urethra. USA Patents 5,036,867 and 4,920,986 also disclose intra-vaginal devices to aid in controlling urinary incontinence. However, these devices are arcuate in the opposite direction to the previous device and engage the anterior vaginal wall to cradle the bladder neck. The urethra is not closed. USA Patent 4,920,986 discloses a modification of the previous two devices but again the device cradles the bladder neck.
The above mentioned devices have enjoyed some success in meeting their objectives, however, mere is still a body of patients in which the above devices fail to alleviate the problems in respect of urinary incontinence.
Object of the Invention It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the above mentioned disadvantage.
Summary of the Invention
There is disclosed herein an intra-vaginal device to aid in controlling urinary incontinence, said device comprising: a base to extend between the anterior vaginal wall and the posterior vaginal wall, so as to apply pressure to the urethra to close the urethra, said base having a forward part to engage the anterior vaginal wall and a rear part to engage the posterior vaginal wall; and a back portion extending from said rear part so that in use it extends therefrom toward the cervix. Preferably the base part is generally perpendicular to the rear part.
There is further disclosed herein an intra-vaginal device to aid in controlling urinary incontinence, said device comprising: a base to extend between the anterior vaginal wall and the posterior vaginal wall of a patient, so as to apply pressure thereto, said base having a forward convex surface to engage the anterior vaginal wall to support and elevate the anterior vaginal wall and urethra, and a rear part to engage the posterior vaginal wall; and a back poπion extending from said rear pan so that in use it extends therefrom towards the cervix and is supported on the pelvic floor so as to distribute the pressure applied to the posterior wall.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
In Figures 1 to 3 of the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted an 25 intra-vaginal device 10 to aid in controlling urinary incontinence. The device 10 includes a base portion 11 of a "D" configuration so as to provide a central aperture 12. The base portion 11 has a forward part 13 which engages the anterior vaginal wall. Extending from the rear part 14 is a back portion 15 also of a "D" shaped configuration. The portion 15 is provided with a central aperture 16. The back portion 15 has a lower part 30 17 joined to the rear part 14 so that the back part 15 may be resiliently moved angularly toward the base portion 11 about the join between the parts 14 and 17.
Preferably the base portion 11 is approximately perpendicular to the back portion 15.
In the embodiment of Figure 2, the back poπion 15 is not provided with the 35 aperture 16. Also an intermediate poπion 18 is provided joining the base portion 11 to the back portion 15 to permit relative angular movement thereof about the intermediate poπion 18. Preferably the device 10 would be formed of plastics material and would be moulded.
As best seen in Figure 3, the device 10 engages the posterior vaginal wall 19 and extends to the pelvic floor muscle 20. The forward part 13 engages the anterior vaginal 5 wall 21 so as to compress the urethra 22. so as to close the urethra 22.
Preferably the back portion 15 would be convex so as to project toward the anterior wall 19.
Preferably the device 10 would be also configured so as to aid in elevation of any prolapse. ι o In Figures 4 to 7 of the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted an intra-vaginal device 30 to aid in controlling urinary incontinence. The device 30 includes a base 31 having a forward arcuate pan 32 with a forward convex surface 33 which engages the anterior wall to suppoπ and elevate the anterior vaginal wall and the urethra behind the vaginal wall. In that regard it should be appreciated that the device 30 does 15 not close the urethra. The base 31 is generally of a toroidal configuration and provides a rear pan 34 and a central aperture 35.
Extending generally normal to the base 30 and from the rear pan 34 is a back portion 36 which is also generally of a toroidal configuration and has a central aperture 37. In use the back portion 36 engages the posterior vaginal wall and is supported by the 20 pelvic floor and projects generally toward the cervix from the base 31. The base 31 extends between the posterior and anterior vaginal walls to apply pressure thereto. The pressure applied to the posterior vaginal wall is distributed over the back portion 36. Preferably the device 30 would be formed of a resilient plastics material. The above described preferred embodiment described with reference to Figures 4 to 25 7 is particularly suited for use by women with incontinence and prolapse with a poor pelvic floor.
In Figures 8 to 11 of the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted an intra-vaginal device 40 to aid in controlling urinary incontinence. The device 40 has a base 41 provided with an arcuate forward part 42. The part 42 has a convex surface 43
30 which applies pressure to the anterior vaginal wall to support the vaginal wall and urethra therebehind. The base 31 is of a toroidal configuration having a central aperture 45.
Projecting generally normal from the base 41 is a back portion 46 which is generally "oval" in configuration. The back portion 36 has a central slot 47.
The base 41 extends between the anterior and posterior vaginal walls to apply 35 pressure thereto. The pressure applied to the posterior vaginal wall is distributed over the back portion 46. The back portion 46 projects towards the cervix and is supported by the pelvic floor. The device of Figures 8 to 11 is suitable for younger women with prolapse and urinary incontinence. Preferably it would be formed of an absorbent material so that it could also act as a tampon.
