Disclosed is a tension delivery device for preventing urinary incontinence, which includes: Retzius space-insertion portions which are respectively to be inserted into the Retzius spaces positioned on the left side and right side of the urethra and move in response to the pressure or the Retzius spaces; and a urethral support portion which extends convergently from the Retzius space-insertion portions and serves to support the urethra upward, wherein the lateral cross section of the urethral support portion becomes thinner from Retzius space-insertion portions toward the distal end, and a mesh structure may be provided along the outer surface of the tension transfer device. When the tension transfer device is inserted into the human body, the urethral support portion presses the urethra upward due to an increase in pressure of the Retzius spaces, while the mesh structure provided along the outer surface of the device usually induces the tension of the muscles around the urethra, thereby inhibiting involuntary urinary incontinence caused by muscular relaxation. Even when a urinary incontinence patient exercises, sneezes or coughs to increase the abdominal pressure instantaneously, the device can sufficiently inhibit urinary incontinence. Furthermore, the device does not require a guide needle holder that causes damage, and is minimally invasive so that damage associated with an invasive method can be reduced. Also, the device eliminates the need for spinal anesthesia or sedative anesthesia and does not cause discomfort that can occur when excessive local anesthesia is performed. In addition, it can be easily corrected in a non-invasive manner when the therapeutic effect thereof is insufficient. Furthermore, it is easily removed so that it makes it possible to perform surgery again using other methods when the therapeutic effect thereof is insufficient.
