A device for prevention of involuntary urination in a female has an elastic body (21) designed for arrangement in the vagina for compressive action on and support of the neck of the bladder. The body (21) is made of a compressible material and comprises at least two projecting legs (23) joined in a flexible base (22) and is dimensioned in such a way that in the non-deformed state of the body of the longest distance between the free ends of at least two legs exceeds the distance between the anterior wall and the posterior wall of the vagina. After the insertion of the body into the vagina in an elastically deformed stated with the legs bent in a direction towards each other, an active pressure is thus exerted on the bladder neck. On their mutually facing sides, the legs are designed in such a way that in the elastically deformed insertion state they come into mutual contact for the provision of an increased elastic force of restitution. An applicator for insertion of the device includes an elongated member having a proximal end and a substantially rod-shaped distal end portion for abutment with a bevel or a recess (24) formed in the angle between the legs of the device.

A device for prevention of involuntary urination in a female, comprising: an elastic body designed for arrangement in a human vagina for compressive action on and support of the neck of the bladder, the body being made of a compressible material; said body including at least two projecting legs joined in a flexible base and dimensioned in such a way that in the non-deformed state of the body, the longest distance between free ends of the at least two legs exceeds the distance between the anterior wall and the posterior wall of the vagina, so that after insertion of the body into the vagina in an elastically deformed state with the legs bent in a direction towards each other, an active pressure is exerted on the neck of the bladder; and the compressible body is made of a porous material having such a compressibility that at a compression of each leg to 50 percent of its total thickness measured before compression, the compressive strength of the body is in the interval of 5-40N, so that, by deformation of the legs in the elastically deformed insertion state to come into contact with each other on the mutually facing sides, the compressible material is compressed to provide an increased elastic force of restitution in the interval of 1-10N.
