Abstract
A valve operated catheter for urinary incontinence and retention comprises a flexible duct (2) designed to be inserted in the patient's urethra, the catheter provided with a spiral shaped end portion (12), having a plurality of holes (16) for the passage of urine. The duct 2 is provided, at its other end, with a seat (21) in which there is housed a valve (20) made of elastic material, the valve being usually closed because of the elastic action. The valve (20) may be operated by the patient through light compressive action on two winglets (25) which are fixed to the end of the duct near to the valve, the winglets positioned symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the same valve, outside the top of glans, so as to cause the opening of the passage (22) through elastic deformation of the valve (20).
