Patent

CA 2378388

An improved method, system and arrangement for treatment of urinary incontinence is disclosed, in which a portion of innervated smooth muscle (2) is transplanted and disposed around the urethra to provide a urethral sphincter (2). Electrical stimulation, by an implanted stimulator (1), maintains continuous tone in the sphincter. A remote controller (7) permits the sphincter (2) to be allowed to relax, and hence permit urine to flow out of the bladder.

L'invention concerne un procédé, un système et un moyen pour traiter l'incontinence urinaire, dans lequel une partie du muscle lisse innervé (2) est transplantée et placée autour de l'urètre afin de constituer un sphincter urétral (2). Une stimulation électrique, provenant d'un stimulateur implanté (1), maintient une tonicité continue dans le sphincter. Un système de commande (7) permet au sphincter de se détendre, et par conséquent de permettre à l'urine de s'écouler de la vessie.
