Abstract
A urinary dysfunction treatment apparatus comprises an electric stimulation device (56) implanted in a patient, who suffers from urinary dysfunction. The stimulation device comprises electric conductors adapted to directly engage with a muscle that affects the evacuation of the patient's urine bladder, for example the urethral sphincter (58) or the bladder contraction muscle, to electrically stimulate the muscle to increase the tonus thereof. A control device (62) is provided for controlling a source of energy (64), which may or may not be implanted, to release electric energy for use in connection with the power of the stimulation device. The apparatus can be used for treating patients suffering from urinary incontinence or disability to urinate.
