US 6,960,218 B2 · External incontinence clamp

Abstract

An external incontinence clamp for stopping involuntary voiding of urine is provided. The clamp includes a first rigid member having opposed ends, each end defining a passage extending therethrough, a second rigid member having opposed ends, each end defining a passage extending therethrough, and two pins of generally u-shape. The pins are adapted to be received by the passages defined by the ends of the first rigid member and of the second rigid member so as to secure the first rigid member in a spaced and generally parallel relationship to the second rigid member. The penis is positioned between the first and second members so that the underside of the penis is in contact with the second member and the top surface of the penis is in contact with the first member, thereby stopping involuntary voiding of urine. A clamp kit includes a plurality of pins of different width to vary the force applied to the penis.

Dependent claims

An external incontinence clamp that is removably attachable to a penis for selectively controlling the discharge of urine through the penis, the incontinence clamp comprising:

a pair of clamping members each having opposed ends and a mid portion extending between the opposed ends, said pair of clamping members being arrangable generally parallel and about said penis with said opposed ends extendable past the width of said penis and with said mid portion of each clamping member contactable with said penis, each of said opposed ends of each clamping member of said pair of clamping members includes a passage way which extends therethrough along the width of said end;
a pair of pins, each pin of said pair of pins includes two legs extending from a bridge portion to generally define a U-shaped pin;
and
wherein said legs of said pins are frictionally received by said passages to secure said pair of clamping members at said opposed ends and in a generally parallel and spaced distance about said penis, thereby applying a predetermined clamping force to said penis to prevent the passage of urine therethrough, and one of said pins being selectively disengaged from one clamping member to allow the passage of urine through said penis and then being reengaged to prevent passage of urine.
