ABSTRACT:
A urinary-control device for inhibiting male incontinence includes an upper clamping member; a lower clamping member; a hinge; and a releasable, self-locking mechanism. The upper clamping member has first and second distal ends and a substantially arcuate inner surface extending therebetween. The inner surface is adapted to be disposed about a portion of a penis. The lower clamping member has first and second distal ends and a substantially arcuate inner surface extending therebetween. The inner surface is adapted to be disposed about a portion of the penis and opposite the upper clamping member. The hinge is defined at the first distal ends for allowing articulated movement of the upper and lower clamping members relative to one another. The self-locking mechanism is defined at the second distal ends opposite the hinge and adapted to adjustably lock the second distal ends together, thereby mounting the device to the penis. The lower clamping member includes a removable pressure mechanism mounted on the inner surface of the lower clamping member and between the distal ends thereof so as to be located generally opposite the urethra of the penis. The removable pressure mechanism extends in a direction toward the inner surface of the upper clamping member so as to collapse the urethra in such a manner as to inhibit flow of urine therethrough when the device is mounted to the penis.
