Penile injection guide and compression device
A conformable guide for directing penile injections has an elastomeric or conformable tube having an open end distally for passing over a glans and a shaft of a penis toward a root of the penis on placement. The conformable guide can have an annulus shaped spirally wrapped portion of the elastomeric tube at the distal end configured to unwrap on placement toward the root. The elastomeric tube has one or more observable injection site locations marked or otherwise indicated on the elastomeric tube when positioned onto the shaft of the penis. The conformable guide is made of a stretchable synthetic polymer.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR RECEIVING DISCHARGED URINE
A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include an assembly having a fluid impermeable casing, a fluid permeable membrane, and a fluid permeable support. A reservoir is defined by the fluid permeable support. The fluid permeable membrane can define a cavity. The casing can define an opening such that the cavity is accessible via the opening. The assembly can also include an outlet in fluidic communication with the reservoir. The assembly can be arranged such that a user's penis can be disposed through the opening with the urethral opening disposed within the cavity and such that a fluid can flow into the body from the urethral opening of the user's penis, collect in the reservoir, and flow out of the outlet.
Indwelling valve actuated urinary catheter
An indwelling valve actuated urinary catheter has an inner catheter having an inlet port configured on a distal end and for locating within the bladder and a sheath that extends over the inner catheter to produce a valve. The sheath extends over the inlet port when the valve is in a closed position and manipulation of a valve actuator on the proximal end, located within the penis, opens the valve. A bladder plug configured on the distal end of the inner catheter may form a seal between the catheter sheath and the inner catheter. The valve actuator may comprise a proximal nodule and a distal nodule that are configured within the urethra along the penis. Manual manipulation of the valve actuator through the penis, such as by pinching the penis, moves the proximal and distal nodules with respect to each other to open or close the valve.
Catheter configured for use with negative pressure and system comprising same
An external catheter system can comprise an external catheter comprising an engagement portion that is configured to receive and sealingly engage at least a portion of a penis of a user and an outlet. The system can further comprise a negative pressure source. A conduit can couple the negative pressure source to the external catheter. At least one of the external catheter and the conduit can comprise a portion that, upon application of a negative pressure by the negative pressure source, is configured to collapse to provide a pressure drop between the negative pressure source and the engagement portion of the external catheter.
STIMULATION OF PENIS ERECTION CONTROL
A penis erection stimulation system comprising a fully implantable drug delivery device for delivering a drug in relation to a penis to achieve erection of the penis.
Infusion of drugs
An at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body. The system comprises at least one flexibly bendable infusion needle with a tip end of each of said at least one infusion needle arranged in at least one first housing for penetrating the first housing's outer wall in at least one penetration area and having the respective other end arranged in at least one second housing, the first and second housings being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, wherein the at least one second housing is provided for implantation inside the patient's body remote from the at least one first housing and wherein the injection needle is sufficiently long to bridge the distance from the at least one second housing for remote implantation to the at least one first housing and further through the first housing up to the outer wall of the first housing. The system further comprises at least one drive unit adapted for being coupled to the at least one infusion needle and arranged at least for advancing the tip end of the at least one infusion needle so that the at least one infusion needle penetrates with the tip end or ends thereof said at least one first housing's outer wall in said at least one penetration area.
BALLOON FOR EXPANDING AN ORIFICE
A balloon is disclosed for expanding an orifice. The balloon comprises a hollow body having a head. The body is closed at a distal end and open at a proximal end. The head extends from the distal end. The balloon also comprises a hollow neck positioned between the open proximal end and the distal end of the body. In the balloon, a wall thickness of the neck is greater than a wall thickness of the head. In a variation, the balloon can be configured such that, when the balloon is inflated, the head expands in a radial direction greater than in the longitudinal direction and a diameter of the body remains approximately constant during inflation. Also disclosed is a system for expanding an orifice. The system includes such a balloon and an inflation device for inflating the balloon. Also disclosed is a kit comprising the system and a container. Further, disclosed is a mould and a method for forming the balloon.
Glans Guard
The present invention relates to a guard or protective device for the glans and foreskin of a male reproductive organ or penis during a urinary catheterization process. The device generally includes a tubular body designed to be worn on a male reproductive organ or penis. The tubular body includes an opening for receiving a catheter, and an open bottom end for receiving the penis. A strap attached to the tubular body is placed below the scrotum to maintain the tubular body covering the penis in a desired position for the catheterization process. The strap can be adjusted, using at least one ladder lock buckle or similar fastener.
STIMULATION OF PENIS ERECTION
The present invention relates to a method of treating a human being or an animal by implanting a penis erection stimulation system in a patient's body. The system is provided with at least one infusion needle disposed at least partly within at least one housing with a tip end of the at least one infusion needle arranged for penetrating the at least one housing's outer wall in two or more different penetration areas, the at least one housing being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body.
URINARY CATHETER ASSEMBLY
A condom-catheter system includes a condom-catheter with a tube extending to a collection bag. A rotary junction is disposed between the tube that is connected to the condom-catheter and the tube that is connected to the collection bag.
