ABSTRACT:
The female incontinence control device includes a conduit having inlet and outlet openings for receiving, conducting and discharging urinary fluid. The device also includes stabilizing structure for holding the conduit in its installed position relative to the urethra and bladder such that a drainage inlet opening can receive fluid from the bladder, and the outlet discharge opening is positioned outside the urethra. The conduit includes a manually actuatable drainage control valve adapted to be positioned outside the urethra. Manual actuation of the valve from a closed position to an open position is thus easily accomplished by manipulating an actuator member at a distal end portion of the conduit to selectively control urinary discharge from the conduit. The actuator member can be formed as an extension of a valve member or interconnected with the valve member through a flexible connecting link. The actuator can also be constituted as a flexible discharge member which permits control of the direction of discharge or urinary fluid.
