Urethral prosthesis (10) including a first and a second arm (20, 30) that join to form a junction (40), and a stem (50) that is also joined to the junction (40). The junction (40) is adapted to exert sufficient pressure on a portion of a patient's urethra to prevent unintentional voiding of the patient's bladder. However, upon exerting a tension force on the stem (50), the pressure exerted by the junction (40) is reduced such that the patient's bladder may be intentionally voided.

La présente invention concerne une prothèse urétrale pour hommes. Ladite prothèse comprend un premier et second bras qui se rejoignent de manière à former une jonction et une tige qui est également reliée à la jonction. La jonction est conçue pour exercer une pression suffisante sur une partie de l'urètre d'un patient afin d'empêcher que la vessie du patient ne se vide accidentellement. Cependant, lors de l'application d'une force de tension sur la tige, la pression exercée par la jonction est réduite, de sorte que la vessie du patient peut être volontairement vidée.
