A penile compression device for preventing urinary leaking and method for the same. Bend Sinister The Fall Rar. First and second semi-rigid support arm are connected at opposing ends in their length direction.

The support arms are biased towards each other in a resting position. The support arms are compressible from the length direction such that the support arms deform away from each other. An open region is formed between the support arms when the support arms are deformed, and enables penis insertion between the support arms. Releasing compression of the support arms enables the support arms to bias from a deformed position to a clamped position, whereby the support arms compress a male urethra to prevent urinary leakage.

An absorbent sleeve may be affixed to the support arms to capture and hold any urine leakage. The first and second semi-rigid support arms have an open region formed between the first and second semi-rigid support arms when deformed, the open region enabling penis insertion between the semi-rigid support arms, and releasing compression of the first and second semi-rigid support arms enabling the semi-rigid support arms to bias from a deformed position to a clamp position, whereby the semi-rigid support arms bias toward each other to compress a male urethra and prevent urinary leakage; and.

The Squeezer Klip™ disclosed in U.S. 6,463,932 provides a padded top and bottom arm in a pivoting configuration. Like the Cunningham, the Squeezer Klip™ is a hinged, reusable clamp. The dorsal and ventral arms include pressure-applying projections intended to contact the urethra, and preferentially apply pressure between the dorsal veins and arteries. The Squeezer Klip™ avoids direct compression of the neurovascular bundle.

Patients are often incapable, however, of repeatedly applying the pressure-applying projections to the appropriate location to effect urethral closure. A screw mechanism clamps the penis using a fine compression adjustment via a threaded adjustment knob. The screw mechanism, however, requires a higher degree of manual dexterity to adjust compression, which can be difficult for older arthritic men. The C3 clamp disclosed in U.S. 5,184,629 provides a clamp intended for use that is limited to approximately one week. The C3 is constructed from a co-extruded and thermoformed polyolefin sheet.

The resultant component has two clam shelled halves connected by a hinge. The penis is placed through a portal between the two halves and the halves are folded over to compress the penis. The clam shells are held closed by a Velcro® strap. Force is localized on the urethra by presence of a raised bump on the bottom clam shell half.

The C3 is available in only two fixed sizes. As there is great penile anatomical variation requiring multiple clamp sizes, a clamp frequently may be improperly selected. Further, the ability to operate the strapping system is often difficult for older, arthritic men.

Such inconsistencies in sizing and the user dependent strapping system, however, make the C3 less reliable in its ability to control leakage. While these clamps provide some advancement for controlling urinary dysfunction and protecting against bladder malfunction, improvements may yet be made to penile compression devices for males experiencing stress urinary incontinence. There is need for a penile compression device that provides optimum comfort and that is easy to apply and remove, while sufficiently preventing urinary leakage. Improvements may still be made to a penile compression device that provides an absorbent mechanism conveniently and comfortably attached to the compression device.

It is a purpose of the present disclosure to overcome these difficulties, thereby providing an improved penile compression device. The penile compression device provides a semi-rigid clamp compressible from an initial rest position.

Manual compression of the clamp causes shape deformation of the clamp arms forming an open region within the clamp that is appropriate for penis insertion. Releasing compression allows the clamp to bias back toward the rest position and into a clamp position.
