ABSTRACT:
A device for the treatment of human urinary incontinence with a catheter which can be inserted into the urethra and carries a balloon arrangement which can be filled with fluid to close off the urinary bladder and to hold the catheter in the lumen of the urethra. The fluid can be admitted to and discharged from this balloon arrangement via at least one closed channel running along the catheter wall which is closed off at the distal end of the catheter, and via a valve mounted at one proximal end section of the catheter in inserted condition. The length of the catheter is dimensioned such that its distal end in inserted condition lies within the urethra. A hydraulic actuating mechanism, also located in the lumen of the urinary bladder, is assigned to the self-closing valve. This hydraulic actuating mechanism can be hydraulically actuated by mechanical pressure exerted on an actuating balloon located at the distal end of the catheter which is filled with fluid and linked to the actuating mechanism via a connecting channel (FIG. 1).
