    摘要: Vascular access systems for performing hemodialysis are disclosed. The vascular access system contemplates a catheter section adapted for insertion into a vein and a graft section adapted for attachment to an artery. The catheter section may have metal or polymer wall reinforcements that allow the use of thin-walled, small outer diameter conduits for the vascular access system. One or more of the adhered, embedded or bonded conduit reinforcement structures may be removable without significant damage to the conduit sections to facilitate attachment of the sections, or to a connector between the sections. Various self-sealing materials are provided for use in the vascular access system, as well as temporary access sites and flow control/sensor systems.

    摘要: An electrokinetic delivery or diagnostic device for personal use and self-administration of a medicament to a treatment site is provided. The device includes a housing containing a power supply, a first active electrode and a ground tactile electrode. An applicator includes a pad for containing medicament for overlying the first electrode of the device. The medicament may be applied by the user to the pad, contained within the pad or contained in rupturable capsules within the pad, together with a hydrogel if necessary for imparting electrical conductivity whereby, upon application of the applicator to the treatment site, the medicament is electrokinetically transported into the treatment site. In another form, the applicator is self-contained, having a power supply, a first electrode overlying a pad and a ground electrode from the opposite side from the pad whereby the individual presses the pad against the treatment site to complete the electrical circuit and electrokinetically drive the medicament into the treatment site.

    摘要: A urethral valve system includes a fixation balloon that is positioned in and contoured to the geometry of the bladder near the opening to the urethra. The fixation balloon, which is narrower at an end that is closest to the urethra and wider at an opposite end, includes a channel through which urine is directed to flow from the bladder to the urethra. A valve balloon is positioned in the channel and inflates to prevent urine flow through the channel and deflates to allow urine to flow around the balloon and out the end of the channel. The fixation balloon may be attached to a Foley-type catheter, with the catheter providing the channel through the balloon. The fixation balloon then acts as a shock absorber for the system by moving relative to the catheter in response to, for example, a contraction in the bladder. The catheter may contain lumens that provide access to the valve balloon and/or the fixation balloon. The fixation balloon is inserted in a deflated state and inflated to hold the system in place. The fixation balloon remains inflated with the valve balloon providing continence when it is in an inflated state and allowing voiding when it is in a deflated state. Only when the device is to be removed from the body is the fixation balloon deflated.

    摘要: A urethral valve system includes a valve balloon that inflates to provide continence and deflates to allow urine to flow around the balloon and an attached catheter that extends through the urethra, and out of the body through the meatus. The urine cleanses the valve balloon, the catheter and the urethra of bacteria, and thus, minimizes infection. The catheter includes a check valve at the end that is accessible to the user. To inflate the balloon, the user attaches to the check valve a small pump that supplies air or a liquid such as water to inflate the balloon. To deflate the balloon, the user manipulates the check valve to allow the water or air to drain from the balloon. The valve balloon may be positioned in the bladder. To retain the system in the bladder when urine flows around the balloon and the catheter, the balloon deflates to a shape that is wider than the diameter of the neck of the bladder. Alternatively, the system may include an anchoring device, such as rubber fingers that extend from the base of the balloon beyond the neck of the bladder. The valve balloon may also be positioned in the urethra. The system then includes an anchoring device that is positioned in the bladder to hold the valve balloon in its deflated state in the urethra against the flow of urine through the urethra and around the balloon and the attached catheter. The valve system may further include an everting mechanism that provides non-irritating delivery of the valve balloon and/or the anchoring device.
