A device for the control of urinary incontinence includes a support (1) having a transverse opening (3) positionable around the body (10a) of a penis (10) so that an area of the penis (10) adjacent to the urethra ductus (10b) is subject to the action of a mobile arm (5). The mobile arm (5) includes a compressing head (6) which has a prominent sector (6a) for compressing said urethra ductus (10b) and exerting adjustable pressure to control urinary incontinence. The compressing head (6) can further include relief sectors (6b) which prevent the compression of the cavernous sectors (10a) of the penis (10) thereby allowing their normal blood circulation. In addition, the displacement of the body (10a) of the penis (10) against the area (2a) of the inner rim (2) opposite the mobile arm (5) is comfortable thanks to the presence of a wall or soft surface (4). |

| Claim: |
1. A device for the control of urinary incontinence, applicable around the body of a penis and having the capacity to compress selectively an area adjacent to the urethra ductus, comprising: a support having a transverse opening able to admit the body of the penis there through; and a mobile arm for applying adjustable compression to at least a portion of the area adjacent to the urethra ductus of the penis, said mobile arm including a command means, a positional variation means, and a compressing head, wherein, in use, the mobile arm is positioned adjacent to at least a portion of the area adjacent to the urethra ductus of the penis, and wherein at least a portion of an inner area of the support opposite the mobile arm is soft. |
| Claim: |
2. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the support comprises a fence that delimits a passage able to receive the penis there through, said fence having a compressing mobile arm which, through said passage, acts on an area of the penis where the urethra ductus is arranged. |
| Claim: |
3. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the support comprises an annular fence. |
| Claim: |
4. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the transverse opening is a passage able to allow the entry of a penis through it, until the area adjacent to the urethra of said penis is exposed to the action of the compressing mobile arm. |
| Claim: |
5. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the positional variation means of the compressing mobile arm are provided by a thread. |
| Claim: |
6. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the compressing head of the mobile arm is at least partially convex. |
| Claim: |
7. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the compressing head of the mobile arm is prominent in a sector that compresses the urethra ductus of the penis. |
| Claim: |
8. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the compressing head of the mobile arm comprises: a prominent sector able to compress the urethra ductus of the penis; and adjacent relief sectors which prevent the compression of cavernous bodies of said penis. |
| Claim: |
9. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 7, wherein the compressing head of the mobile arm is centrally prominent. |
| Claim: |
10. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the compressing head has free turn capacity with respect to the mobile arm at which end it is mounted. |
| Claim: |
11. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the compressing head has a certain capacity of axial displacement with respect to the mobile arm. |
| Claim: |
12. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the command means comprises a command clamp. |
| Claim: |
13. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the command means comprises a throttle type clamp. |
| Claim: |
14. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the command means comprises a faceted clamp. |
| Claim: |
15. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the command means comprises an arm. |
| Claim: |
16. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein an inner area opposite the mobile arm is soft. |
| Claim: |
17. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein a whole inner part of the support is soft. |
| Claim: |
18. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein in the support, at least, an inner area opposite the mobile arm comprises a soft cover. |
| Claim: |
19. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein a body of the support forms an outer surface substantially free of edges. |
| Claim: |
20. The device for the control of urinary incontinence, according to claim 1, wherein the device comprises a set of interchangeable compressing heads. |
