View page
US Patent:
7198597, Apr 3, 2007
Filed:
Apr 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/422626
Inventors:
Steven W. Siegel - North Oaks MN, US
Kevin R. Arnal - Chanhassen MN, US
Robert E. Lund - St. Michael MN, US
Kimberly A. Anderson - Eagan MN, US
Brian P. Watschke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/02
US Classification:
600 30
Abstract:
The present invention provides a urethral prosthesis including a first and a second arm that join to form a junction, and a stem that is also joined to the junction. The junction 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, the pressure exerted by the junction is reduced such that the patient's bladder may be intentionally voided.
