Summary: | A method and apparatus for minimizing fecal incontinence in a subject, is disclosed. An inhibition action incontinence device includes a truncated cone with an angled concavity at a top portion. The truncated cone is positioned at the external opening of the anal canal. The truncated cone may be positioned to effect a positive pressure on the external sphincter muscles and the anal slit across the peri-anal tissues. It is believed that the truncated cone exploits the voluntary inhibition action of the external sphincter muscles and the simple mechanical closure of the anal slit to decrease fecal incontinence and soiling.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à minimiser l'incontinence fécale d'un sujet. Un dispositif d'inhibition d'incontinence comprend un cône tronqué muni d'une concavité inclinée au niveau d'une partie supérieure. Le cône tronqué est placé au niveau de l'ouverture externe du canal anal. Le cône tronqué peut être positionné de manière à appliquer une pression positive sur les muscles du sphincter externes et la fente anale à travers les tissus péri-anaux. Le cône tronqué exploite l'inhibition volontaire des muscles du sphincter externes et la fermeture mécanique simple de la fente anale afin de réduire l'incontinence fécale et les salissures. |
