ABSTRACT:
A urinary incontinence valve for placement in the urethra of a male or female patient and which is magnetically-actuable from outside the body. The valve body is designed to fit into the neck of the bladder and includes an actuator rod which extends out of the valve body and into the bladder itself, providing greater freedom of movement of a valve surface relative to the valve seat. A compression spring normally urges the valve member to its closed position and when so closed, the compression spring is maintained in a urine-free environment.
