ABSTRACT:
A urethral occlusion device having a very malleable, flexible, deformable polymer occlusion band which may be easily wrapped about the exterior of the penis to provide sufficient pressure to prevent urine flow, but without restricting blood circulation. The occlusion band includes a silicone rubber shell with silicone gel liner surfaces which provide a washable, reusable, skin-sensitive bond when wrapped, and allow the band to be tightened to the patient's desired degree of compression. A plurality of pliant, deformable ribs are positioned on the occlusion band and oriented along the underside of the penis to mildly stretch the urethra to an occluded position. An elastomeric cincture ring may also be added circumscribing the occlusion band to apply additional compressive pressure, the cross-sectional area of each of the three finger-engaging rings being greater than that of the central pressure-exerting ring so that an outward stretching force will deform the central pressure-exerting ring more than the finger-engaging rings.
