Patent attributes
A urinary-control device for inhibiting male incontinence includes upper and lower clamping members each having a substantially arcuate inner surface adapted to be disposed about a portion of a penis. A hinge allows articulated movement of the upper and lower clamping members relative to one another. A self-locking mechanism is adapted to adjustably lock the clamping members together, thereby mounting the device to the penis. A protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the lower clamping member and extends toward the inner surface of the upper clamping member to collapse the urethra to inhibit flow of urine therethrough when the device is mounted to the penis. A plurality of vein-relief portions are disposed spaced from one another and formed on the inner surface of the upper clamping member such that the device does not constrict blood flow through the penis when the device is mounted to the penis.
