摘要:
A penis erection stimulation system comprises one or more infusion needles disposed within and implanted along with one or more housings adjacent the patient's left and right corpora cavernosa. 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 tip end of the infusion needle such that it penetrates the housing at least in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting drugs along with the infusion liquid into the patient's body for stimulating penis erection. The drive unit is configured to laterally displace the tip end of at least one infusion needle in at least two different lateral directions to different penetration sites within said at least one penetration area.
摘要:
A penis erection stimulation system comprises an infusion device (11) adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, at least one reservoir (R1, R2) adapted for implantation inside the patient's body in fluid connection with the infusion device to supply to the infusion device a substance to be injected into the patient's body, and a cooling device implantable along with the reservoir for keeping the content within at least one compartment of the reservoir at a temperature below 37° C. The reservoir preferably comprises at least one first compartment accommodating or adapted to accommodate a first substance and at least one second compartment accommodating or adapted to accommodate as a second substance a drug for stimulating penis erection, wherein the at least one second compartment is cooled by means of the cooling device. The infusion device preferably comprises one or more infusion needles disposed within and implanted along with one or more housings adjacent the patient's left and right corpora cavernosa. A pump may be 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 may be arranged for advancing and retracting the tip end of the infusion needle such that it penetrates the housing at least in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting drugs along with the infusion liquid into the patient's body for stimulating penis erection.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for healing open wounds through enlargement of soft tissue surrounding said wound is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the wound and at least a portion of the surrounding soft tissue. The dome (12) has a rim (14) with a surface area equal to or greater than the normal area of the dome opening to prevent medical complications caused by excessive pressure to the skin. A gasket (46) or other cushioning material may be provided about the periphery of the dome (12) for patient comfort and improved seal. The dome (12) also includes a vacuum pump (20) with a power source (22), pressure sensor (24), and servomechanism (26) for regulating the pressure within the dome (12) to any one of several protocols using pressures which might temporarily exceed non-damaging levels.
摘要:
An implantable catheter apparatus for self-administration of drugs to the penis of a human patient comprising a implantable catheter apparatus for self-administration of drugs to the penis of a human patient comprising:
a catheter 10 having
a flexible wall (20) surrounding a lumen, a distal portion (31) adapted to be placed within the corpus cavernosum of the penis of a human patient, said distal portion having a closed distal end (30), a proximal portion (14) adapted to be implanted in the body of said patient at a location remote from said penis, said proximal portion having a proximal end, and an intermediate portion (15) connecting said proximal and said distal portions and adapted to be implanted within the body of said patient, and
releasable injection port means (16) located at said proximal end providing fluid access from a source of fluid to said lumen, said distal portion of said catheter having at least one longitudinal slit (36) piercing said wall of said catheter, said catheter apparatus additionally comprising a circumferential close-fitting sheath (24) covering said slit, said sheath having a proximal end attached to the outer surface of said catheter proximal to said slit, and a free distal end positioned distally of said slit.

摘要:
A device serving to surround a part of a body, a supply of a fluid substance for the device, and a plurality of delivery zones serving to deliver the substance to the body, the arrangement being such that when the fluid substance is placed under an increased pressure it is forced through the plurality of delivery zones to deliver the fluid substance under pressure to the part of the body.
摘要:
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 infusion needles disposed within and implanted along with one or more housings adjacent the patient's left and right corpora cavernosa. 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 tip end of the infusion needle such that it penetrates the housing in at least one penetration area, preferably in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting drugs along with the infusion liquid into the patient's body for stimulating penis erection. The drive unit is provided for implantation remote from the injection area and comprises a mechanical drive element for transmitting kinetic energy from a remote location within the patient's body to the at least one infusion needle.
摘要:
A delivery member having a flexible wall is formed to substantially surround vessel in contacting relationship wherewith. The delivery member contains pressurized medication, nutrients or gas. A plurality of small openings are provided in that portion of the wall which contacts the tissue to permit the medication, nutrients or gas to escape from the member and perfuse into the tissue.
