摘要:
The invention provides a medical device such as a catheter having in a proximal end a braided portion being operable between two configurations, one for insertion of the device into the body and one for retaining the catheter in the body. To reduce ingrowth of body tissue, the braided portion comprises two parts, a first part forming paths for a body liquid, e.g. urine, to be drained from the body through the device to a place of disposal, and a second part having a structure which counteracts cell adhesion better than the first part. During use, the first part is drawn into the second part whereby the cells are separated from first part by the second part and therefore ingrowth of body tissue is reduced or avoided completely. The invention further provides a method of making a device with a braided portion and being improved with respect to ingrowth of body tissue.
摘要:
The invention provides medical device with a retention section for anchoring the medical device in the body of a living being, a drainage section for draining fluids from the body, e.g. urine, and a tip which facilitates insertion into the body. During the anchoring of the medical device, the tip is retracted toward a distal end of the device and for improving the users control over the position of the tip relative to other parts of the device and thus to ensure the free flow of fluids through the device, indicating means is provided to give a visual, audible, or tactile indication of at least a first position of the tip relative to the remaining part of the medical device.
摘要:
A catheter comprising a tube part, a tip part and at least one through-going opening, where the through-going opening is positioned distally to the proximal end of the tube part, wherein the outer surface of the tube part has at its proximal end a first outer diameter that is smaller than a second outer diameter at the tube part's distal end, and the diameter of the outer surface of the tube part increases constantly along the entire length of the tube part from its proximal first outer diameter end to its distal second outer diameter.

An implantable penile prosthesis system includes a penile prosthesis and an insertion tool. The penile prosthesis includes a cylinder extending between a distal tip and a proximal tip. At least one of the distal tip and the proximal tip has a pocket accessible by an opening, where the pocket is formed to extend laterally beyond a perimeter of the opening. The insertion tool extends between a distal end and a proximal end and includes an expansion mechanism coupled to the distal end. The opening in the tip(s) is sized to receive the distal end of the insertion tool and the expansion mechanism is configured to expand into the pocket to couple the insertion tool with the penile prosthesis.
摘要:
A method for rounding at least a part of an edge of an opening in a tubular body formed of thermo-formable material, wherein a mandrel is brought into contact with the edge and the mandrel has a temperature that allows it to permanently deform the material of the tubular body and a product thereof.
摘要:
A high aspect ratio surgical anchor comprises a body defined in part along a major longitudinal axis, a fin coupled to the body, and a channel in the body along the longitudinal axis. The channel is configured to receive and removably secure a tip of an introducer therewithin. A slot is provided through the body that is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, with the slot being configured to receive and pass implantable material therethrough and to secure a portion of the implantable material therein.

摘要:
A method of injection moulding a catheter assembly, the method comprising providing a mould having an elongated cavity in the form of an external surface of the catheter assembly, providing a core pin in the longitudinal axis of the catheter assembly inside the cavity in the form of an inner lumen of the catheter assembly, where the core pin has a distal end that is fixed in place and a proximal free end, providing a first and a second moulding member where each one of the first and the second moulding members has a fixed end and a free end, in a radial direction of the elongated cavity, preparing the mould by arranging the free ends of the two moulding members to support the core pin, injecting a liquid catheter material into the mould, letting the liquid material solidify.
摘要:
A method of implanting a penile prosthesis into a patient includes inserting a distal end of an insertion tool into an opening formed in a tip of the penile prosthesis, expanding a mechanism from the distal end of the insertion tool into a pocket formed in the tip of the penile prosthesis, and inserting the penile prosthesis into a corpora cavernosum of the patient with the insertion tool.
