ABSTRACT:
An inflatable device is disclosed which is comprised of three chambers which are adapted to be inserted partially into the rectum and inflated. The first chamber would be positioned within the rectum, the second within the anal sphincter muscles and the third outside of the body between the buttocks. When used for dilation, the first and third chambers are utilized primarily for positioning and maintaining the position. The second chamber is selectively inflated to perform the dilation function. When utilized as an obturator, to alleviate fecal incontinence, the first and third chambers are utilized to some degree for positioning and maintaining of position, and the first chamber is also utilized, to some degree along with the second chamber as a means of obturating or maintaining fecal continence.
