ABSTRACT:
An artificial sphincter for closure of a channel in a patient's body communicating with an opening adjacent the outside of the patient's body. The sphincter comprises, a generally annular member containing a first material for placement around the channel of the patient's body, and a plug having elongated flexible sidewalls of an elastic material for placement within the annular member in the body channel. The plug contains a particulate second material positioned in a region within the annular member when the plug is located in the patient's body. At least one of the first and second materials comprises a permanent magnetic material, while the other of the first and second materials comprises a material substantially susceptible to the one magnetic material. The sphincter has an applicator for selective placement and removal of the plug relative the channel in the patient's body.
