A Coude catheter insures proper drainage and reduces tissue damage by using an alignment indication section having an open passageway positioned on a proximal end of the catheter.

Systems and methods for treating sexual dysfunction using transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) with near infrared light (NIR) are provided. In particular, a device configured for treating a disorder of a subject, the device can have a power source and a light source configured to receive power from the power source to cause the light source to emit near infrared light, wherein the near-infrared light has a wavelength of 600 nm to 1400 nm. The device has a processor and a housing configured to position the light source to deliver the near infrared light to a region of interest of the subject via transcranial photobiomodulation in a dosimetry and duration sufficient to treat the disorder.

A therapeutic bandage/dressing/covering for use with a human penis fitted with a catheter that extends from a human's bladder through, and beyond the opening from the penis glans, is placed over the distal end of the penis, including the glans, and onto the surface of the catheter where the catheter protrudes from the glans. The covering surface that lies against the skin of the penis, penis glans, and the distal opening in the penis, may be padded, flexible or, rigid, and, optionally, medicated and/or lubricated, to minimize skin abrasion and promote cleanliness/sterility of the glans, the contiguous penis shaft, and other delicate penile tissues.

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.

The present invention relates to a at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body. The implantable 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. The at least one housing is adapted for implantation inside a patient's body. Further, there is a at least one drive unit adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, the at least one drive unit being coupled to the at least one infusion needle and arranged for advancing and retracting the tip end of the at least one infusion needle so that the at least one infusion needle penetrates, upon advancement of the tip end thereof, said at least one housing's outer wall.

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.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a medical device can include a sheath having a proximal end and a distal end. The sheath can be configured to receive a penis through the proximal end, and can at least partially cover the penis. The sheath can include a distal opening in the distal end of the sheath. The sheath can include a flow structure comprising a proximal flow structure portion extending proximally relative to an interior surface of the distal end of the sheath and configured to be inserted into the urethra of the penis. The flow structure can be in fluid communication with or can pass through the distal opening in the distal end of the sheath to allow fluid to flow through the sheath to or from the urethra.

An external male catheter comprising an inner drainage sheath configured to unrolled and fitted over a penis like a condom, and an attached outer suction sheath configured to be unrolled over the fitted drainage sheath. A one-way drainage port extends from the inner drainage sheath through the outer suction sheath in fluid-tight manner, and a one-way suction port extends from the outer suction sheath. Suction is selectively applied to both the drainage and suction ports as the catheter is applied, in order to assist with fitting and retention of the catheter.

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 said 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 said 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.

An at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body, in particular a penis erection stimulation system, comprises one or more long, flexibly bendable infusion needles, the tip ends of which are disposed within and implanted along with at least one first housing, in particular adjacent the patient's left and right corpora cavernosa. The respective other end or ends of the infusion needles are disposed and implanted along with at least one second housing remote from the first housing. A reservoir and a pump are also implanted inside the patient's body to supply the infusion needle with infusion liquid. A drive unit also adapted for implantation inside the patient's body is arranged for advancing and retracting the infusion needle such that its tip end penetrates the at least one first housing's outer wall in at least one penetration area, more specifically at least in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting the substance into the patient's body.
