ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling urinary incontinence in female patients. The device includes a body section for being inserted completely into the vagina. The body section includes a circumferential surface therearound for being gripped by the walls of the vagina for restricting the relative movement therebetween. A protruding section is rigidly attached to the body section and is oriented for displacing a surface of the superior wall of the vagina, and the urethra adjacent thereto, toward the pubic bone, thereby reducing the urethro-vesicle angle for further restricting the flow of urine through the urethra from the bladder to the urethral opening.
