  • Device and process for preventing female stress urinary incontinence
    Patent number: 7736298
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for preventing female stress incontinence designed to be arranged in the vagina, comprising a proximal part (12) extending between a free end and a second end, configured to be undeformable under pressure and to be placed in the suburethral region of the vagina, and a distal part (14) extending the second end of the proximal part (12), made of a material reversibly deformable under pressure, and designed to be placed in the subvesical region of the vagina. The invention is characterized in that the distal part (14) delimits a closed outline which receives the weight of the bladder and transforms same into an ascending force acting on the urethra.

  • Intra-vaginal device for preventing female stress incontinence
    Publication number: 20040158122
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device (10) for preventing female stress incontinence designed to be arranged longitudinally inside the vagina. The device comprises a proximal part (22) extending between a first free end (22a) and a second end (22b), designed so as to be substantially undeformable under pressure, and adapted to be placed in the sub-urethral zone of the vagina, and a distal part (24) extending the second end (22b) of the proximal part (22), made of a material reversibly deformable under pressure, designed to be placed in a sub-bladder zone of the vagina and having a height not more than 80% of the height of said proximal part (22).
