Patent ID: 7736298

Claim:
A device for preventing female stress urinary incontinence that is designed to be arranged longitudinally in the vagina, comprising: a proximal part that extends between a first free end and a second end, produced so as to be essentially non-deformable under pressure and designed to be placed in the suburethral region of the vagina over a significant length of this region, and a distal part that extends the second end of the proximal part, made of a material that is deformable under pressure in a reversible manner and designed to be placed in the subvesical region of the vagina, the distal part comprising two lateral parts that connect at a distal end of the distal part to delimit a closed contour adapted to support the weight of the bladder, wherein when the device is positioned in the vagina the two lateral parts can move away from one another and the movement of the two lateral parts moving away from one another pulls the proximal part toward the inside of the vagina until the two lateral parts rest on the walls of the subvesicular region of the vagina.
