  • Patent number: 10716654
    Abstract: An incontinence clamp assembly includes a ring that may be worn on a penis. A tube is coupled to the ring. The tube is positioned on a bottom side of the penis having the tube being oriented perpendicular to the urethra. A stopper is slidably inserted into the tube and the stopper has a diameter that is larger than an inside diameter of the tube. The stopper is positioned in an open position having the stopper being positioned outside of the tube. In this way the stopper allows the urine to flow out of the penis. The stopper is positioned in a closed position having the stopper being positioned within the tube. In this way the stopper may compress the urethra thereby inhibiting urine from flowing out of the penis.
