A device (10) for measuring pressure applied to a urethra (80) of a patient includes an elongate member (26) with a plurality of pressure sensors (41) disposed thereon. The device can be inserted into the urethra. Each sensor is capable of outputting a signal representative of an amount of pressure applied to the urethra at the location of that sensor when the elongate member is positioned within the urethra and pressure is applied to the urethra. The pressure can be applied to the urethra by a urethral sling (90). A physician can manipulate and adjust the sling based on the pressure information provided by the device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) destiné à mesurer la pression appliquée sur l'urètre (80) d'un patient. Ce dispositif comprend un élément de forme allongée (26) sur lequel sont disposés plusieurs capteurs de pression (41). Ce dispositif peut être introduit dans l'urètre. Chaque capteur est capable d'émettre un signal représentatif d'une quantité de pression appliquée sur l'urètre au niveau de l'emplacement de ce capteur lorsque l'élément de forme allongée est positionné dans l'urètre et la pression appliquée sur celui-ci. La pression peut être appliquée sur l'urètre par le biais d'une écharpe urétrale (90). Un médecin peut manipuler et régler cette écharpe en fonction des informations de pression fournies par le dispositif.
