ABSTRACT:
An external incontinency device having first and second rigid, arcuate members hinged together at one end has a releaseable securing device at the other end. The inside of the first member is padded. A compression bar having a padded upper surface is hingedly mounted at one end to the second member. The compression bar is moveable between a position in which it will compress the uretha and a position in which the uretha is not compressed. An L-shaped lever is pivotally mounted in a slot in the second member at the juncture of its two legs. One leg extends outside the second member and serves as an operating handle. The other leg engages the compression bar to cause it to compress. Moving the handle will disengage the other leg to permit urination.
In an alternate embodiment the second arcuate member serves to compress the uretha. In this embodiment the device must be loosened to urinate.
