Electrically operable incontinence treatment apparatus
Abstract
An apparatus for treating an anal or urinary incontinent patient comprises a constriction device applied on the patient's large intestine or urethra, and an electrically powered operation device, which is integrated with the constriction device and adapted to operate the latter to constrict the large intestine or urethra to close the intestinal or urethral lumen and to release the large intestine or urethra to open the intestinal or urethral lumen. An electric power supply is subcutaneously implanted in the patient remote from the constriction device and an insulated electric wire connects the power supply and the electrically powered operation device. The electric wire is resilient and extends helically between the electric power supply and the electrically powered operation device. As a result, the resilient helically extending electric wire is capable of addressing the movements from the large intestine or urethra, because it may easily be temporarily extended without risking breakage.
