Female incontinence control device with mechanically operable valve

An incontinence device for a female, comprising:

• conduit means for receiving, conducting and discharging urinary fluids from the bladder, said conduit means having a proximal end portion with an inlet opening and a distal end portion with an outlet opening,
• an antegrade restraining member attached to said conduit means and positionable within the body for restraining said conduit means from moving antegrade within the urethra,
• a retrograde restraining member attached to said conduit means and positionable outside the urethra for restraining said conduit means from moving retrograde within the urethra, said retrograde and antegrade restraining means cooperably holding said conduit means in a predetermined position relative to the urethra so that said inlet opening receives urinary fluid from the bladder and said outlet opening is positioned outside the urethra, and
• mechanically actuatable valve means attached to the distal end portion of said conduit means for selectively controlling the flow of urinary fluid through said conduit means for discharge through said outlet opening, said valve means including a valve member within said retrograde restraining member, said valve member being outside the urethra when said conduit means is in said predetermined position, said valve member being manually actuatable between a normally closed position and an open condition, said open condition permitting flow of urinary fluid through said conduit means for discharge through said outlet opening, said valve means further including a biasing spring at said distal end portion for urging said valve member into said normally closed position.
