Abstract:
A Peyronie's treatment device is described that is configured to treat an erect penis (P) having curvature characterized by a first penis side with an unaffected length and a second penis side (40) with an affected length that is shorter than the unaffected length. The device includes a band (20) connected between a proximal support that is attachable to a base (B) of a penis and a distal support that is attachable adjacent a corona of the penis. The band has an elastic material and a second material that is attached to the elastic material. The second material is provided to stop elongation of the elastic material at a length approximately equal to the affected length of the erect penis.
Abstract:
An incontinence treatment device has a solid rod connected between a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal portion is insertable into a urinary bladder. The solid rod is configured for placement in the urethra. The solid rod has a length that adapts the distal portion to be positioned outside and distal to the urethra with the proximal portion positioned in the urinary bladder. The proximal portion has a lateral dimension that is at least a factor of 3 greater than a lateral dimension of the solid rod and is so configured to block a neck of the urinary bladder and impede flow of urine out of the urinary bladder. A force applied to the distal portion displaces the proximal portion away from the neck of the urinary bladder to allow urine to exit the urinary bladder.
