ABSTRACT:
A urinary incontinence prosthesis in the form of an inflatable implant. The implant includes a uniquely configured balloon having a central portion for positioning adjacent the patient's urethra and pairs of claw like arms partially circumscribing the patient's corpus cavernosa. The process for use comprises implanting the balloon and suturing apertured tabs to a patient's tunica to maintain the prosthesis device in its desired position. A pump/reservoir is positioned in the patient's scrotum and connected in fluid communication with the prosthesis by a suitable tube. The entire device is made of biocompatible implantable material.
