Abstract of the Disclosure A female incontinence device inserted into the vagina for supporting the vaginal tissue on each side of the upper urethra so that the tissue therebetween will be stretched like a hammock and will offer counter pressure to sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure as occur during coughing, sneezing, laughing, and physical exercise, thereby preserving continence. The device (22) includes an annular or oval, inflatable body section (24) having an aperture (32) extending therethrough, means for inflating and deflating the body section, and two projections attached to the body section. The latter support the vagina on each side of the urethra, whereby the tissue between the points of support, will be stretched and offer counter pressure when intra-abdominal pressure is suddenly raised. The support offered by the projections may be adjustable, if they are made to enlarge more than the body section during inflation. The inflating and deflating means includes a tubing (44) extending from the body section, and a valve (46) housed within the tubing for regulating the flow of air into and out of the body section. The device of the present invention will also control uterine or vaginal prolapse.
