    摘要: A stent (10) for transluminal implantation comprising a single-piece tubular member (12) having a fenestrated sidewall (18) exhibiting a pattern of uniformly spaced openings defined by intersecting strands (20, 22) where the strands (20, 22) are integrally joined together at their points of intersection whereby the tubular member (12) can be radially compressed from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter by the application of a uniform inwardly directed radial force and which self-expands to a larger diameter when the radial compressive force is removed. The compression and subsequent self-expansion occurs without an appreciable change in the stent's length. By forming the stent (10) from a thermoplastic material, it may later be resected by carving it up into small pieces preferably using an electrosurgical instrument.

    摘要: A method for suspending the urethrovesical junction in females comprises inserting sutures through a puncture or incision in the suprapubic abdominal area or through a puncture or incision in the vaginal wall, suspending the urethrovesical junction with the sutures, and anchoring the sutures with an anchoring means at an anchoring site. The anchoring means is a relatively rigid helix having an attaching means to attach the suture, or a pad adapted to be delivered with a delivery means to the anchoring site, or a flip anchor in substantial axial alignment with a placement means and adapted to be flipped from the axial alignment to an angled position, or an adjustable tissue anchor having a means for adjustably attaching the sutures.
    A system for positioning an anchoring means in living tissue comprises an insertion means primarily defined along a longitudinal axis to fit in a surgical needle, and an anchoring means.
    An anchoring means for anchoring a suture in tissue comprises a housing, a substantially cylindrical means within said housing for receiving a suture, and an adjusting means. Another anchoring means comprises a housing, a rotating spool within said housing, a driving gear, and an adjusting means.

    摘要: An apparatus for dilation of the prostate urethra comprises a urinary catheter 10 for insertion in the prostate urethra, dilation means 18 mounted on the proximal section of the catheter and in communication with the interior of the catheter, location means 20 mounted axially on the catheter at a distance from the dilation means such that the location means is at the bulbous urethra when the dilation means is at the prostate urethra, and activating means for activating said dilation means and said location means. A method for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia comprises inserting a catheter having dilation means and location means and removing the catheter after dilation.

    摘要: A prosthesis (10) to be implanted in the penis for simulating an erection has at least one cylinder (11) to be implanted in the corpora cavernosa. A flat coil spring (52) is contained within the cylinder (11). When uncompressed the spring (52) allows the cylinder (11) and the penis to remain flaccid. When compressed, the spring (52) forms a rigid column that erects the cylinder (11) and the penis and resists bending under pressure. The spring (52) is preferably compressed by inflating an expandable chamber (28) adjacent to the spring (52) within the cylinder (11).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for packaging a fluid containing prosthesis adapted to be implanted in a sterile condition involves filling a closable, permeable fluid containing housing within the prosthetic device with a fluid. The prosthetic device is then enclosed within a substantially fluid impenetrable enclosure that is filled with a fluid with activities which substantially match the activities of the fluid within the prosthetic device. Thus, even where the prosthetic device contains a physiological solution, by incorporating a solution of equal solute concentration within the enclosure that surrounds the prosthetic device, the tendency for osmosis to occur across the barrier defined by the walls of the prosthetic device can be adequately controlled. The enclosure may then be enclosed within an outer bag which may be handled by a non-sterile nurse, preparatory to implantation by a surgeon. In this way, it is possible to ship a prosthetic device in a fluid filled state despite the tendency for migration through the walls of the device by establishing mass transfer equilibrium within the package.
