Embodiments of the invention provide a retrieval device and method for retrieving tissue from a body cavity. The retrieval device includes a pouch having an aperture and a pouch wall defining an interior space. An inflatable rim is coupled to the pouch and facilitates retrieval of the tissue into the interior space of the pouch. The retrieval device further includes a closure device coupled to the pouch wall for enclosing the tissue within the interior space of the pouch. A portion of the pouch wall includes a self-sealing characteristic that allows an instrument to pierce the pouch wall and the pouch wall is resealable after withdrawal of the instrument. The pouch can move from a retracted position to a expanded position upon inflation of the inflatable rim, which can then be separated by application of a separation force at an area of material weakness in the pouch wall.

System and method for tissue retrieval

Catheter

Systems and methods of cannulating a body orifice such as a bladder are disclosed. An indwelling bladder catheter having reduced trauma risk can include a proximal end, a distal end, and a flexible elongate tubular body therebetween, the distal end having at least one distal port in fluid communication with a lumen extending within the tubular body, the distal end further having a distal tip comprising a blunt shape; a first proximal port for at least one of fluid inflow or outflow, the first proximal port in fluid communication with the lumen extending within the tubular body; an inflatable balloon near the distal end of the catheter, the balloon transformable from an unexpanded to an expanded configuration, wherein the balloon in its expanded configuration comprises a low profile oblong shape suitable for anchoring within a human bladder; and a second proximal port balloon inflation, in fluid connection with the balloon.

Indwelling bladder catheter

A waterfall gutter system comprises at least one J-shaped rain gutter configured to be attached to edges of a roof wherein mounting hardware is located at an underside of the gutter and a funnel independently attachable at its lower end to a top end of a downspout wherein there is a vertical gap between a top of the funnel and an end of the gutter wherein water can be seen to flow or not flow from the end of the gutter into the top of the funnel from a position of a person standing at ground level.

Systems and methods of cannulating a body orifice such as a bladder are disclosed. A cystoscopy catheter can include a proximal end, a distal end having at least one exit port, and a flexible elongate tubular body therebetween; an inflatable balloon near the distal end of the catheter, the balloon transformable from an unexpanded and an expanded configuration; a first proximal port for fluid inflow; a second proximal port for fluid outflow; a third proximal port for balloon inflation, in fluid connection with the balloon; and a fourth proximal port for insertion of a diagnostic and/or therapeutic instrument such as a cystoscope therethrough, wherein the first, second, and fourth proximal ports are fluidly connected to a common central lumen extending through the elongate tubular body to the exit port on the distal end.
