Abstract
A female incontinence device inserted into the vagina for supporting the vaginal tissue on each side of the upper urethra so that the tissue therebetween will be stretched like a hammock and will offer counter pressure to sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure such as during coughing, sneezing, laughing and physical exercise thereby preserving continence. The device includes an annular inflatable body section having an aperture extending therethrough, means for inflating and deflating the body section and two projections attached to the body section for supporting the tissue of the vaginal wall lateral and adjacent to each side of the urethra therebetween. The inflating and deflating means includes a tubing extending from the body section, and a valve housed within the tubing for regulating the flow of air into and out of the body section.
