ABSTRACT:
An external incontinence device for use in male urinary incontinence. The device is easy to fasten and unfasten with one hand to selectively apply pressure against the urethra. In one embodiment, the device includes an outer strap, which overlaps itself through a gate, and locks in position at desired tension. A lever on the strap, which can be easily lifted to unfasten the strap, achieves release. Desired pressure is preferably applied against the urethra with an inner lining. The lining can be lifted to achieve pressure against the urethra by pressing a button. The button can be locked in position to achieve continence by either a groove or ridge mechanism or by a ballpoint pen ratchet mechanism. The pressure can be released by pressing and tilting the groove and ridge mechanism, or by pushing the ballpoint pen mechanism again. The present device preferably allows the user to void through the urethra without removal of the device.
