Pressure-to-tension conversion device for treating urinary incontinence

A pressure-to-tension conversion device for treating urinary incontinence, the pressure-to-tension conversion device comprising:

• resilient sections that are adapted to be inserted in and occupy Retzius spaces positioned in left and right sides of a urethra in front of a urinary bladder, respectively, wherein the resilient sections are composed of silicon and adapted to deform when an abdominal pressure increases;
• and
• a support adapted to be provided below the urethra to extend across the resilient sections and take on a “V” shape, whereby when the resilient sections are deformed when the abdominal pressure increases and the Retzius spaces contract, the support is tensioned to such an extent that it can support the urethra so as to treat the urinary incontinence,
• wherein the support takes a form of a string, and extends across the resilient sections by being fixed through the resilient sections at opposite ends thereof in such a manner that the opposite ends cannot be released from the resilient sections, whereby when the resilient sections are broadened thinly due to the abdominal pressure, the support is tensioned to such an extent that it can support the urethra.
