Description

dispositif externe permettant l'occlusion de l'urètre pour personne de sexe masculin.  external device allowing occlusion of the urethra for a male person.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif externe à fixer sur le pénis; il permet l'occlusion de l'urètre par compression. Il est destiné aux incontinents urétraux en suppléant le sphincter défaillant ou inexistant suite à une opération prostatique ou vésicale. Il supprime les désagréments subis lors de l'utilisation d'un étui pénien accompagné d'une poche à urine, ou d'un accessoire de protection absorbant. The present invention relates to an external device to be fixed on the penis; it allows the occlusion of the urethra by compression. It is intended for urethral incontinence by replacing the failing or nonexistent sphincter following a prostatic or bladder operation. It eliminates the inconvenience suffered when using a penis case accompanied by a urine bag, or an absorbent protective accessory.
Actuellement la plupart des dispositifs existants pour assumer cette fonction sont fabriqués avec des matériaux déformables ou spongieux qui agissent par pincement ou étranglement du pénis. Ces dispositifs ne comportent pas de plan d'appui supérieur rigide et parallèle au plan d'appui inférieur de la zone ventrale du pénis, d'où risques de pincements angulaires de l'urètre ne pouvant assurer une bonne occlusion de celui-ci. Ne possédant pas de système mobile de compression directe sur la zone urétrale, ils obligent à étrangler, pincer ou serrer trop fortement l'ensemble du pénis. Il en résulte un blocage, ou une forte diminution de la circulation sanguine pouvant provoquer des gonflements. douleurs ou meurtrissures des chairs qui les rendent difficilement supportables. Leur déformation et leur système de fixation obligent à des remplacements fréquents. Par sa conception, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il est constitué un corps principal en forme de segment circulaire rigide dans lequel sera logé et centré le pénis, zone ventrale dans la partie concave, en appui sur un bossage mobile de compression. Le segment circulaire est prolongé par deux branches flexibles parallèles munies à chaque extrémité d'une saillie destinée à maintenir une platine plane rigide formant un plan d'appui sur la partie dorsale, opposée à la position de l'urètre. Le bossage logé dans la partie concave possède une partie supérieure plane parallèle à la platine. Un moyen de déplacement de ce bossage permet une poussée sur la zone urétrale vers la platine dorsale, assurant ainsi une totale occlusion de l'urètre. Currently, most of the existing devices for performing this function are made with deformable or spongy materials which act by pinching or throttling the penis. These devices do not include a rigid upper support plane parallel to the lower support plane of the ventral area of the penis, hence the risk of angular pinching of the urethra which cannot ensure good occlusion of the latter. Not having a mobile system of direct compression on the urethral zone, they force to strangle, pinch or tighten too strongly the whole of the penis. This results in blockage, or a sharp decrease in blood circulation which can cause swelling. pain or bruising of the flesh which makes it difficult to bear. Their deformation and their fastening system require frequent replacement. By design, the device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It consists of a main body in the form of a rigid circular segment in which the penis will be housed and centered, ventral area in the concave part, supported on a movable compression boss. The circular segment is extended by two parallel flexible branches provided at each end with a projection intended to maintain a rigid flat plate forming a support plane on the dorsal part, opposite to the position of the urethra. The boss housed in the concave part has a flat upper part parallel to the plate. A means of displacement of this boss allows a push on the urethral zone towards the dorsal plate, thus ensuring a total occlusion of the urethra.
La compression s'effectuant perpendiculairement au plan supérieur évite le pincement angulaire de l'urètre. En outre le mouvement de poussée du bossage, se réglant au dixième de millimètre par l'intermédiaire d'une vis munie d'une molette graduée, permet d'éviter les inconvénients de surpression tout en assurant l'occlusion. Cette poussée ne s'exerçant qu'en une zone précise correspondant à celle où se trouve placé l'urètre permet la libre circulation du sang dans la circonférence externe du pénis, hors cette zone, évitant ainsi les risques de gonflement, de douleurs ou de meurtrissures.  The compression being carried out perpendicular to the upper plane avoids angular pinching of the urethra. In addition the thrust movement of the boss, which can be adjusted to the tenth of a millimeter by means of a screw provided with a graduated wheel, makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks of overpressure while ensuring occlusion. This pushing being exerted only in a precise zone corresponding to that where the urethra is placed allows the free circulation of blood in the external circumference of the penis, outside this zone, thus avoiding the risks of swelling, pain or bruises.
La platine supérieure et la partie concave, avec son bossage de compression, sont garnies d'un matériau lavable souple, genre latex, peu spongieux, anti-allergique et débordant latéralement seulement sur la platine supérieure. Les matériaux utilisés pour la fabrication du dispositif sont imputrescibles et indéformables et peuvent être nettoyés sans risques de détérioration. La garniture fixée par points d'encollage peut être remplacée facilement. Les dessins annexés illustrent la description et le fonctionnement du dispositif de l'invention. The upper plate and the concave part, with its compression boss, are lined with a washable flexible material, latex type, spongy, anti-allergic and projecting laterally only on the upper plate. The materials used to manufacture the device are rot-proof and non-deformable and can be cleaned without risk of deterioration. The packing fixed by gluing points can be replaced easily. The accompanying drawings illustrate the description and operation of the device of the invention.

Les figures 1 - 5 et 6 représentent le corps principal constitué par un segment circulaire rigide 1 muni d'un guide 4 du bossage 9. Ce segment 1 est prolongé par deux branches 2 flexibles. Ces deux branches parallèles faisant fonction de ressort comportent à chaque extrémité une saillie biseautée 3 servant à enclencher une platine supérieure 11 plane destinée à faire appui sur la partie dorsale du pénis. Figures 1 - 5 and 6 show the main body consisting of a rigid circular segment 1 provided with a guide 4 of the boss 9. This segment 1 is extended by two flexible branches 2. These two parallel branches acting as a spring have at each end a bevelled projection 3 serving to engage an upper platen 11 flat intended to bear on the dorsal part of the penis.
La partie inférieure du segment circulaire 1 est pourvue d' un trou 5 et d'un évidement 6 permettant respectivement le passage d'une vis 7 et l'installation d'un clip 8 qui rend cette vis 7 prisonnière dans le corps principal 1 en l'empêchant de se déplacer en translation. Pour le confort, les bords des saillies 3 de branches 2 et les ergots 12 de la platine 11 sont arrondis. Ce corps principal peut être réalisé soit d'un seul bloc en une matière plastique moulée par injection, soit d'une fine lame d'acier inoxydable rigidifiée dans sa partie concave. The lower part of the circular segment 1 is provided with a hole 5 and a recess 6 allowing respectively the passage of a screw 7 and the installation of a clip 8 which makes this screw 7 trapped in the main body 1 in preventing it from moving in translation. For comfort, the edges of the projections 3 of branches 2 and the pins 12 of the plate 11 are rounded. This main body can be made either in one piece from an injection molded plastic, or a thin stainless steel blade stiffened in its concave part.
En référence à la figure 1, un bossage 9 de compression installé à l'intérieur du segment circulaire 1 du corps principal possède à sa partie supérieure une partie plane parallèle à la platine supérieure 11 et centralement un trou taraudé 5 à sa partie inférieure pour recevoir la vis 7. Les flancs du bossage 9 sont arrondis 10. La compression de la zone urétrale est effectuée par une poussée vers la platine supérieure 11 par ledit bossage 9 lui-même actionné par la vis 7 la rotation de celle-ci provoquant alors le mouvement en translation de ce bossage. La vis est munie d'une molette graduée permettant un réglage précis. Ce bossage peut être fabriqué en un alliage léger ou en un plastique dur.  Referring to Figure 1, a compression boss 9 installed inside the circular segment 1 of the main body has at its upper part a flat part parallel to the upper plate 11 and centrally a tapped hole 5 at its lower part to receive the screw 7. The sides of the boss 9 are rounded 10. The compression of the urethral zone is carried out by a push towards the upper plate 11 by said boss 9 itself actuated by the screw 7 the rotation of the latter then causing the translational movement of this boss. The screw is provided with a graduated wheel allowing precise adjustment. This boss can be made of a light alloy or a hard plastic.
Les figures 1 - 3 et 4 représentent la platine supérieure 11 d'appui sur la partie dorsale du pénis. Elle est réalisée avec un matériau rigide, par exemple: bois dur, alliage léger, plastique dur par exemple polymêthacrylate de méthyle. Son aspect est parallélépipédique avec les deux côtés latéraux en forme d' el l ipse pour le confort, la partie ellipsoïdale étant elle-même arrondie du côté intérieur. Un ergot 12 aux quatre coins assure sa stabilité et le maintien perpendiculaire de son plan d'appui par rapport au centre du bossage 9. A ses deux extrémités, une partie biseautée 13 entre les ergots 12 facilite son encliquetage exécuté par simple pression sur son plan supérieur; les saillies 3, cf. figure 1, étant ellesmêmes biseautées, les branches flexibles 2 s'écartent puis se referment après le passage des saillies 3 qui rendent ladite platine 11 prisonnière. Pour déclencher la miction, il suffit d'une poussée latérale sur la saillie 3 de l'une des branches 2 pour dégager la platine 11 d'un seul côté. Après miction, une pression sur cette platine 11 du côté déclenché remet le dispositif en fonction sans détruire le réglage initial effectué avec la molette de la vis 7. La miction peut également s'effectuer en relâchant la pression par l'intermédiaire de ladite molette de la vis 7. En variante, la platine 11 pourrait être légèrement modifiée dans la zone d'encliquetage pour permettre deux niveaux de compression. Figures 1 - 3 and 4 show the upper plate 11 of support on the dorsal part of the penis. It is made with a rigid material, for example: hard wood, light alloy, hard plastic, for example polymethyl methacrylate. Its appearance is parallelepipedic with the two lateral sides in the shape of an ipse for comfort, the ellipsoidal part itself being rounded on the internal side. A lug 12 at the four corners ensures its stability and the perpendicular maintenance of its support plane relative to the center of the boss 9. At its two ends, a bevelled part 13 between the lugs 12 facilitates its snap-in executed by simple pressure on its plane superior; projections 3, cf. Figure 1, being themselves bevelled, the flexible arms 2 move apart and then close after the passage of the projections 3 which make said plate 11 trapped. To trigger urination, it suffices a lateral push on the projection 3 of one of the branches 2 to release the plate 11 on one side. After urination, pressure on this plate 11 on the triggered side puts the device back into operation without destroying the initial adjustment made with the screw wheel 7. Urination can also be carried out by releasing the pressure by means of said screw wheel 7. In alternatively, the plate 11 could be slightly modified in the latching zone to allow two levels of compression.
Les figures 2 - 7 et 6 représentent les particularités de pose par points de colle de la garniture 14 représentée en pointillé sur lesdites figures. Pour le confort du dispositif, cette garniture 14 déborde latéralement sur la platine supérieure 11. La garniture inférieure 14 sur le bossage 9 et les bords du segment circulaire rigide 1 est pourvue de fentes 15 pour lui donner de la souplesse et une bonne mise en forme, lors de la compression.  Figures 2 - 7 and 6 show the particulars of fitting by points of glue the lining 14 shown in dotted lines in said figures. For the comfort of the device, this lining 14 projects laterally on the upper plate 11. The lower lining 14 on the boss 9 and the edges of the rigid circular segment 1 is provided with slots 15 to give it flexibility and good shaping. , during compression.
Le dispositif selon l'invention pourra être mis en application dans les services urologiques des cliniques et hôpitaux et être commercialisé dans les établissements pharmaceutiques pour ce qui concerne le domaine médical.  The device according to the invention may be applied in the urological services of clinics and hospitals and be marketed in pharmaceutical establishments with regard to the medical field.
