Embodiments are directed towards fluid collection assemblies that include at least one length adjusting feature, fluid collection assemblies including the same, and methods of using the same. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier includes a distal region, at least one distal end region spaced from the distal region, and at least one intermediate portion extending from the distal region to the distal region. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines at least one length adjusting feature (“LAF”) extending from the distal end region to the distal region. The LAF allows the length of the fluid collection assembly to change. The ability of the fluid collection assembly to change the length thereof allows a penis of a patient to be disposed in preferential locations within the fluid collection assembly.

A connection system for a patient and a human body connection-type medical device that allows the body of a patient to be connected to a chest drainage unit, syringe pump, infusion pump, biological observation measurement device or various other medical devices while allowing the patient to easily move around with the device secured and functioning. The medical device-fixing system includes a hook section that is engaged with and tightened to a pillar-like support member in a fixed manner and has an upper face having a concave groove section; and a holder having a lock section that is inserted to the groove section to provide a locking and fixing function, the holder fixes and retains the medical device. By inserting the lock section into the groove section to achieve a locking and fixing operation therebetween, the medical device is suspended from the support member and is connected and fixed thereto.

A tube for a medical treatment system has a first channel for feeding an irrigation fluid from a console of the system to a medical treatment instrument of the system and a second channel for discharging an aspiration fluid from the instrument to the console. The first and the second channels are arranged in parallel. The first channel has a first wall and the second channel has a second wall. A second material of the second wall has a greater hardness than a first material of the first wall. The tube is formed from two individual tube elements for the channels. The tube elements are welded or adhesively bonded in a connection region. The difference between the hardness of the first material and the hardness of the second material is at least 10 ShA and at most 15 ShA.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a gastrostomy tube having a proximal portion and a distal portion with at least one lumen extending therethrough. The proximal portion includes first, second, and third ports that are each operably coupled to the proximal portion with the first port configured to provide for suction of contents from a patient's stomach, and the third port configured to provide fluid to an inflatable balloon. The distal portion includes a plurality of first openings configured to transport contents to and from the patient's stomach, at least one second opening configured to cooperate with the second port to provide sump-type function, and a curved portion having a gradual bend of approximately 45°-135°. The curved portion directs a distal end of the tube radially outward and away from a longitudinal axis of the tube.

A surgical drain tray assembly includes a fluid impermeable first layer and a porous second layer positioned on the fluid impermeable first layer. The fluid impermeable first layer includes a drain outlet, a basin, and a sloping surface angled toward the basin, the drain outlet being positioned within the basin. The porous second layer may be formed of a foam material and includes a top work surface. Fluids spilled onto the work surface pass through the porous second layer to the fluid impermeable first layer. The sloping surface of the fluid impermeable first layer conveys the fluids toward the basin for draining through the drainage outlet.

A portable urinal device includes a base forming a liquid receptacle. Tubing extends from the base to a head member which can be positioned onto genitalia for urination. Suction is provided via a pump or vacuum device to suction urine from the head into the base receptacle.

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.

The present invention relates to a filtering device for removing particles from a bodily fluid of a patient, the filtering device being implantable in the patient's body. The device has a tube forming a main fluid passageway for bodily fluid, through which the bodily fluid of the patient passes when the tube is implanted in the patient, a filter connected to the tube and a filter cleaning device for cleaning the filter by moving particles collected by the filter out of the fluid passageway, wherein the filter cleaning device is adapted to replace the first filter in the fluid passageway with a second filter, thereby moving the particles collected by the first filter out of the fluid passageway.

An endovascular catheter has an elongate catheter body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, a transition portion and a central lumen extending longitudinally through the catheter body, with the distal portion having a larger central lumen than the proximal portion. A guidewire tube extends through a hole in the transition portion from the proximal end of the distal portion through the central lumen of the distal portion to the distal end of the distal portion.

The disclosure belongs to the field of aerospace technology, and in particular relates to a method of urination and defecation in space. The method may include: forming a sealed space between a spacesuit below the waist and above the two thighs and the human skin before an astronaut urinates or defecates, and using, by the astronauts, the sealed space to urinate or defecate. The disclosure can confine the excrements in a small sealed space, and the operation thereof is simple, convenient and fast, and no excessive cost is required, and no pollution is caused in the spacesuit and the cabin, facilitating the astronauts' work in space.
