An intravesical intermittent instillation catheter includes a tube containing a urinary lumen and an instillation lumen. The proximal end has a set of drainage eyelets, formed in a wall of the tube, that are in communication with the urinary lumen as well as a set of instillation eyelets, formed at a tip of the proximal end, in communication with the instillation lumen. A sheath is slidably mounted to surround the tube and having first and second axial positions wherein, in the first position, the drainage eyelets are exposed and, in the second position, the drainage eyelets are covered by the proximal end of the sheath. In operation of the catheter, when the sheath is in the first position, drainage of urine can proceed through a path including the drainage eyelets, the urinary lumen, a drainage connector, and a urinary collection bag and, when the sheath is in the second position, instillation of the medicament can thereafter proceed from a syringe, through an instillation connector, the instillation lumen, and the instillation eyelets and into the bladder.

Intermittent intravesical therapeutic administration system

Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method of preventing or treating a urinary tract infection (UTI), chronic cystitis, overactive bladder, partial bladder obstruction or urethritis, said composition comprising one or more oligomeric tannins, selected from proanthocyanidins and/or hydrolysable tannins, where in said method said composition is administered intraurethrally, intravesically, intraureterally and/or intrarenally, as well as a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method of preventing or treating bladder cancer, where in said method said composition is administered intravesically, said composition comprising one or more oligomeric tannins, selected from proanthocyanidins and/or hydrolysable tannins, wherein said tannins are bound to an anti-cancer agent and/or liposomes containing an anti-cancer agent, together with compositions related thereto.

Medicinal composition for treating urinary tract infection (UTI)

A catheter for insertion into a body cavity of a subject (such as the urinary bladder), and having a drainage tube extending from a drainage opening adjacent a distal end of the catheter to a drainage outlet adjacent a proximal end of the catheter; a closure member mountable for sliding movement within the drainage tube between a first position such that said drainage opening is in fluid communication with the drainage outlet and a second position wherein the closure member blocks fluid communication between the drainage opening and the outlet port; and an actuator, operable from the proximal end of the catheter, to move the closure member between the first and second positions. The closure member can include a second tube, sliding within the drainage tube, or a slideable plug.

Distal closing catheters and methods for same

A needle safety lock comprising a needle guard supporting member (), and a needle guard () comprising an elongate member coupled to said needle guard supporting member and axially slideable with respect to the needle guard supporting member, and a cylindrical guard () having two open ends to enclose at least a portion of a needle; wherein the needle guard comprises a locking means to selectively secure the needle guard in a first locking position that is releasable or a second locking position that is non-releasable; and wherein when the needle guard is in the first or second locking position free axial movement of the needle guard is prevented.
