Disclosed is an auxiliary apparatus for fecal bypass for bypassing and discharging feces in the intestines.

Since supporting portions are connected to a single air flow tube to simultaneously expand when air is injected, and the size of the supporting portions is limited, the auxiliary apparatus for fecal bypass of the present invention does not damage the inner wall and outer wall (mucous membrane and serous membrane) of the intestines.

Also, the present invention comprises a liquid moving tube allowing a therapeutic liquid being refluxed quickly and automatically when the pressure inside the intestines increases, thereby preventing abdominal pain of a patient.

An adapter for a surgical hand piece with a single lumen work tip converts the handpiece to infusion/aspiration (I/A) cleanup of lens epithelial cells in the capsular bag of the eye a patient after phacoemulsification. The adapter is in the form of a sleeve whose proximal end is to be joined to the distal end of work tip. The sleeve also has at least one aspiration hole located toward the distal end of the sleeve.

A lavage handle for facilitating at least one of an irrigation function and a suctioning function at a target zone preferably includes a portable body, a power-operated fluid-displacing mechanism in communication with said body wherein said fluid-displacing mechanism has one of a first operating mode for inducing outward irrigation of fluid towards the target zone and a second operating mode for inducing inward suction of fluid from the target zone. An actuation mechanism is located at said body and operable communicated with said fluid-displacing mechanism such that said fluid-displacing mechanism is selectively operated in at least one of said first operating mode and said second operating mode. The actuation mechanism may include an irrigation-inducing mechanism and/or a suction-inducing mechanism.

A clip for holding one or more buttons of a medical device in a pre-use state. The clip includes an elongate band for wrapping around the medical device. A receiving portion formed in the elongate band that is configured to receive at least one button when the band is wrapped around the medical device and a retaining means for retaining the band around the medical device.

This document provides devices, systems, and methods for treating patients with wounds. For example, this document provides a multi-lumen tubular device that can deliver wound irrigation, wound suction, and medicinal treatment through the lumens of the tubular device.

In accordance with some configurations, systems and methods for guided removal from an in vivo subject are provided. In some configurations, a method for removing an object is provided. The method comprising, guiding a flexible tube through an in vivo subject's ureter, wherein the flexible tube comprises at least a first passageway and a second passageway. Positioning a distal end of the first passageway adjacent to the object. Infusing saline solution through the second passageway while suction is off. Removing the object through the first passageway with at least a portion of the saline solution.

The invention generally relates to intracavitary medical devices and methods for using the devices. In one aspect, the devices comprise: a tube comprising a longitudinal body having opposed proximal and distal ends, and at least three lumens extending there between; and an expandable balloon region located at the distal end of the tube; wherein at least one lumen comprises at least one of: a drainage lumen which opens at a portion of the distal end of the tube and configured to allow fluid communication from a body cavity into the drainage lumen, an inflation lumen connected to an interior of the balloon region and configured to enable passage of a distending fluid to control expansion and contraction of the balloon region, and an instillation lumen which opens at a portion of the distal end of the tube and configured to allow a fluid to be introduced from the instillation lumen into the body cavity.

Interventional catheter assemblies, operating systems and adaptive interface components allow operation of a variety of interventional catheter assemblies, including infusion catheters, aspiration catheters and interventional catheters that provide both infusion and aspiration, using a common control console housing infusion and aspiration systems. Adaptive tubing cassettes having a handle and one or more preformed tubing loops route aspiration and/or infusion tubing in a predetermined configuration to mate with aspiration and infusion systems on a control console.

Fecal management methods and apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) are described herein. The fecal management apparatuses may apply one or more fecal removal cycles of suction and irrigation (and in some examples air) to actively remove fecal material. The apparatus may control the timing of delivery of the fecal removal cycles as well as the parameters of the applied suction, irrigation and/or air within and between fecal removal cycles.

A device for sealing a colon, and for removing stool therefrom by irrigation, comprising an expandable intrarectal balloon segment formed from an everted tube with two ends, for insertion into the rectum to anchor the device, and a tapered transanal segment adapted to remain at least partially outside the rectum during use, wherein the balloon segment and the transanal segment have no common compartment, wherein both segments comprise drainage parts with a drainage lumen for irrigation of stool from the patient, wherein one of the two ends of the everted tube is passed through the lumen of the intrarectal balloon segment as an inner layer, the inner layer being in contact with a funnel element, and wherein the transanal segment is adapted to collapse upon resting of the sphincter, and comprises part of the intrarectal balloon segment, or a different balloon element.
