Urinary catheter assembly including a catheterization aid providing a handle and an intermittent catheter disposed within the handle
A urinary catheter assembly includes a catheterization aid having a handle and a guide channel formed in the handle, and an intermittent catheter retained within the guide channel.
FLUID COLLECTION ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE INFLATION DEVICE AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF USING THE SAME
An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one inflation device. The inflation device includes bladder having one or more walls defining an interior region. The inflation device also includes at least one valve configured to selectively permit fluid flow into and out of the interior region to switch the bladder between a first state and a second state. The inflation device may at least one of controllably change the length of the fluid collection assembly or controllably change a width of at least a portion of the fluid collection assembly to more comfortably fit the fluid collection assembly within the labia folds of an individual using the fluid collection assembly.
Ureteral Catheters, Systems Including the Same, and Methods of Inducing Negative Pressure to Increase Renal Perfusion
A ureteral catheter is provided, including: a drainage lumen including a proximal portion configured to be positioned in at least a portion of a patient's urethra and a distal portion configured to be positioned in a patient's ureter and/or kidney, the distal portion including a coiled retention portion, wherein the retention portion includes at least a first coil having a first diameter and a second coil having a second diameter, the first diameter being less than the second diameter.
External female catheter system and method of use
System and methods for automatically removing by suction urine voided by a female. The systems include an external catheter and an integrated suction regulator or a stand alone external catheter for use with any source of regulated suction. The external catheter includes a suction tube an a fluid pervious cover. The catheter's cover is applied at the female's urethra opening to receive urine voided by the female, whereupon urine from the external female catheter passes through the cover into the suction tube, from which it is carried by out of the external catheter for collection. The external catheter is malleable so that it can be conformed to the anatomy of the female.
Discrete female catheter
A discrete catheter assembly as provided includes a containment unit and an outer protector layer. The outer protector layer has a rear cap, which is fitted over the shell base of the outer protector layer in which the front cap of the outer protector layer is removed while the rear cap of the outer protector layer is moved in a first direction away from the dispenser, then moved in a second direction to permit a movement of the catheter of the containment unit towards the dispenser.
Fluid collection devices, systems, and methods
Examples relate to systems, devices, and methods for removing fluid from a fluid collection device using a portable vacuum source operably coupled thereto. The fluid collection devices include urine collection devices shaped to complement the female or male anatomy near the respective urethras and the vacuum source is operably coupled to the fluid collection device via one or more sections of conduit.
