ABSTRACT:
A device, system and method for treating female urinary incontinence is provided. A flexible sheath having distally deployed wings and proximal retainer contains a flow control valve unit within. The wings can be tucked into side access holes to reduce the profile of the sheath for insertion distally into a female urethra. Once inserted sufficiently distally into a female urethra, the wings can be deployed by inserting the flow control valve within sufficiently far to force the tucked wings out of the constraining access holes.
