More Information
Summary:The present invention proposes a urethral cuff (1) for use in an artificial urinary sphincter. Said urethral cuff has a backsheet (2) forming the body of the urethral cuff (1). Said backsheet (2) is composed of a first portion (21) and a second portion (22) wherein the first portion (21) has a first inflatable cushion (10) and a second inflatable cushion (20) which are separated from each other by a gap (3) and the second portion (22) has a third inflatable cushion (30). Said third inflatable cushion (30) is located such that it corresponds on top of said gap (3) when the second portion (22) is folded on top of the first portion (21) such that when the urethral cuff (1) is implanted around the urethra (100) of a patient and all three inflatable cushions (10, 20, 30) are inflated, a length (200) of the urethra (100) is flattened among the inflatable cushions (10, 20, 30) resulting in occlusion of the urethra (100).
