An intra-urethral device that can be used to inhibit leakage of urine due to incontinence is provided. The intra-urethral device can include a urethral plug (430) made from a biocompatible, flexible material, and can be formed into an oblong shape so as to better correspond to the contours of the female urinary tract. In some instances, the intra-urethral device can also include an insertion element (436) that can facilitate self-insertion and the ability of a fluid seal to form between the urethral plug (430) and the walls of the urethra. Furthermore, in some instances, various mechanisms can be provided to keep the intra-urethral device substantially sterile throughout the insertion process.
L'invention concerne un dispositif intra-urétral pouvant être utilisé pour inhiber des fuites d'urine dues à l'incontinence. Le dispositif intra-urétral peut comprendre un bouchon urétral fait d'une matière biocompatible souple, et peut être façonné en une forme allongée s'adaptant mieux au profil des voies urinaires féminines. Dans certaines formes de réalisation, le dispositif intra-urétral peut aussi comprendre un élément d'insertion susceptible de faciliter une auto-insertion et la capacité de formation d'un joint étanche entre le bouchon urétral et les parois de l'urètre. De plus, dans certaines formes de réalisation, divers dispositifs peuvent être prévus pour maintenir le dispositif intra-urétral sensiblement stérile au cours du processus d'insertion.
