Patent ID: 8617045

Claim:
A urinary control device for sealing off at a neck and along the inside wall of a bladder to prevent leaking and dislodging of the device from within the bladder, the device comprising: an inner tubular member having an inner and an outer end interconnected by a passageway, the inner tubular member having an inner and outer sidewall; an expandable sealing member having an inner surface, an outer surface, a proximal end fixedly attached to the outer sidewall of the inner tubular member, and an expandable perimeter operational between a collapsed closed shape being coaxial with the inner tubular member and an expanded open shape to seal the outer surface of the expandable sealing member against the inner wall and neck of the bladder for preventing urine from leaking from the bladder; a deployable stiffening member positioned within the expandable sealing member, the stiffening member expanding within the expandable sealing member for erecting and shaping the expandable sealing member, the deployable stiffening member to thereby assist in strengthening the expandable sealing member, retaining the device within the bladder and sealing off the bladder against leaking; and a coupling member inserted into the outer end of the inner tubular member, wherein the coupling member further comprises an inflatable balloon valve positioned to expand inwardly from an inner sidewall surface of a passageway of the coupling member for selectively passing urine there-through.
