Modular Prosthetic Conduit
US Patent:
5861035, Jan 19, 1999
Filed:
May 23, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/862200
Inventors:
Donald P. Griffith - Houston TX
International Classification:
A61F 204
US Classification:
623 12
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modular prosthetic conduit implantable within a mammal and a method of surgically implanting and replacing such a conduit. Specifically, the present invention is directed toward a conduit comprising a first conduit member composed of a biocompatible alloplast and coated on its exterior surface with a porous biocompatible tissue-bonding material. The present invention is further directed toward a second conduit member composed of a biocompatible alloplast. The second conduit member contains a region or component that can be expanded radially by mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, electrical, temperature sensitive or other physical means. The second component can be easily slid into or out of the first conduit member and at temperatures approaching a mammal's body temperature, it expands to form a watertight "docking" fit within the first conduit member. The second conduit member may contain remotely actuable valve and pump.
Both the first conduit member and the second conduit member may be altered with respect to size, geometry and shape so as to affect conduits, reservoirs, sampling chambers and tissue-prosthesis interfaces.
Method Of Treating Dysfunctional Bladder Syndromes By Electromotive Drug Administration

Assignee:
Physion, S.r.l.
International Classification:
A61N 130
US Classification:
604 21
Abstract:
An intravesical method of treating dysfunctional bladder syndromes by Electromotive Drug Administration (EMDA) of local anaesthetic drugs, anti muscarinic drugs and sympathomimetic agents. The administration of said drugs combined with hydraulic bladder dilatation causes relaxation of the detrusor muscle, reversing the hypertonicity associated with dysfunctional bladder syndromes.
Prosthetic Bladder And Method Of Prosthesis Implantation
US Patent:
4976735, Dec 11, 1990
Filed:
Apr 20, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/341734

Charles A. Homsy - Houston TX
International Classification:
A61F 204, A61F 202
US Classification:
623 12
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fixed volume prosthetic urinary bladder for use in a human being. The invention, more particularly, concerns a prosthetic urinary bladder comprising a vent channel having a removable cap and a urethral discharge valve. The present invention is intended for implantation in a human being such that the vent channel protrudes through the abdominal wall and the vent cap lies flush with the outer surface of the abdomen.

Urine Collection Device
US Patent:
4042337, Aug 16, 1977
Filed:
Feb 17, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/769693
Inventors:
Donald P. Griffith - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 3316, G01N 110, A61B 1000
US Classification:
23259
Abstract:
A urine collection device is disclosed for use in metabolic studies in which an integrated specimen is desired. The collection device has a receptacle divided into bin sections. A removable manifold cover adapted to fit onto the receptable portion has openings which are arranged to be in registration with a separate one of the bin sections. Urine poured into the manifold will be metered through the openings into the bin sections, with a substantially equal amount entering each. Each bin contains a different chemical substance for preserving some characteristic of the urine. For example, in one bin the urine may be acidified by the substance; in another it may be alkalized; and in another it may have the pH stabilized. The device permits urine samples of a patient to be collected over a period of time, and away from a clinic or hospital without the urine characteristics to be tested changing.
