Filed:

May 29, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/475346

Inventors:

Vasu Nishtala - Snellville GA, US
Michele Gandy Davis - Forsyth GA, US
Ronald L. Bracken - Conyers GA, US
Robert M. Hine - Covington GA, US

Assignee:

C. R. Bard, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

A61F 5/44
A61M 1/00
A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604328, 604327, 604317, 604264

Abstract:

A waste management system includes a waste transport device, a waste collection device, and an insertion device. The waste transport device includes a collection member with a distal end opening having a first cross-sectional area and a proximal end opening having a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area, and a retention cuff disposed about an outer surface of the collection member. The insertion device is positioned about the collection member and retention cuff to retain the collection member and retention cuff in a collapsed configuration.

Abstract:

A waste management system includes a waste transport device and a waste collection device. The waste transport device includes a collection member with a distal end opening having a first cross-sectional area and a proximal end opening having a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area, a retention cuff disposed about an outer surface of the collection member, a first section having a lumen in fluid communication with a lumen of the collection member, and a second section having a distal end connected to a proximal end of the first section, the second section including a flush lumen disposed along a length thereof.

International Classification:

A61B 17/08
A61F 2/02
A61F 13/00

US Classification:

606151, 600 30, 600 37

Abstract:

A system for supporting the urethra using an introducer needle, the ends of which are flattened and which have openings therethrough, a handle having a latch mechanism which engages the opening in the flattened portion of the first end of the introducer needle, an implant, and a connector joining the end of the implant to the flattened portion of one of the ends of the introducer needle. These components are used to draw the implant into position, either through vaginal or abdominal incisions, to form a U-shaped loop beneath the urethra. The ends of the implant are adjusted to provide proper support for the urethra. The implant can have slits that open under applied tensile force.
