ABSTRACT:
A sphincteric web for the treatment of incontinence having a particular alignment of three inflatable pressure cushions by which to prosthetically replicate the geometry of a normally continent rectum. The sphincteric web surrounds and embraces a patient's colon (or rectum), and the pressure cushions are inflated with hydraulic fluid from a hypodermically accessible source thereof. The inflated pressure cushions produce axial, deflective forces which closely mimic the three valvular deflections produced by the rectal valves in a healthy anatomy. Accordingly, the patient's colon is deflected, rather than constricted or obstructed, to increase the resistance to the flow of waste material and thereby return the patient to continence.
