ABSTRACT:
The incontinence control device of the present invention as described includes a cloth strap adapted to encircle a penis, the strap having cooperative pressure adherence layers on portions of the inner and outer surfaces so that the strap can form a circumference when the inner adherence layer is engaged with the outer adherence layer of the strap. The inner surface of the strap also has a compressible pad adjacent the pressure adherence layer and another compressible pad in fixed relation to the first pad. An inflatable sac is affixed to the strap between the two compressible pads. A tube passes through the strap to communicate with the interior of the inflatable sac at one end of the tube. A check valve is attached at the other end of the tube. A syringe is adapted to engage the check valve so that air in the syringe can be injected through the tube into the sac to inflate the sac. In the inflated condition, the sac and incontinence control device are adapted to impinge the urethra within the penis to, thereby, restrict the flow of urine through the urethra. The sac has a predetermined free shape with a height greater than the thickness of the two compressible pads so that the sac will maintain contact with the penis even when the sac is not inflated to ensure that the strap will not slip.
