Abstract
An apparatus for treating urinary incontinence comprises an electrically powered stimulation device that electrically stimulates the urethral sphincter of a urinary incontinent patient and a hand-held wireless remote control that controls the stimulation device. A stress or urge incontinent patient operates the remote control to: i) switch off the electrically powered stimulation device, when the patient wants to urinate, and switch on the electrically powered stimulation device, when the patient has finished urinating; and ii) control the stimulation device as needed at any time over the course of a day to promptly adjust the intensity of the electric stimulation of the urethral sphincter to quickly increase the tonus of the urethral sphincter.
