A medical device includes an elongate body configured to be disposed within a urinary tract of a patient such that a first end portion of the elongate body is disposed at a first location of the urinary tract and a second end portion of the elongate body is disposed at a second, different location of the urinary tract. The elongate body defines a lumen that is configured to convey urine from the first location of the urinary tract to the second location of the urinary tract. An agent is formulated to visually alter urine of the patient, the agent is coupled to the elongate body and releasable into the patient's urine.

Stent having time-release indicator

A catheter, voice prosthesis assembly, and delivery method include an elongated flexible body having a hollow voice prosthesis tubing disposed on a first end of the elongated flexible body. A voice prosthesis is received in the hollow voice prosthesis tubing. The voice prosthesis having an interior esophageal flange at a first end and an exterior tracheal flange at a second end, with the voice prosthesis being received in the hollow voice prosthesis tubing with the interior esophageal flange being folded within the hollow voice prosthesis tubing and the exterior tracheal flange being disposed exterior to the hollow voice prosthesis tubing.

Catheter for inserting a voice prosthesis

A trocar device and measurement assembly, includes a trocar having a sharply pointed shaft and a handle. An elongated sheath receives the shaft of the trocar therein, wherein the elongated sheath includes a plurality of measuring indicia thereon for measuring a length of a tracheoesophageal puncture formed by the trocar. A method of measuring the tracheoesophageal puncture is provided by inserting the elongated sheath into the puncture while observing the measuring indicia on the sheath to determine a length of the puncture.
