The invention comprises an enema device configured for fluid delivery and evacuation management—which includes a retaining component for retaining a part of the enema device within the rectum, coupled with a collection component for collecting stool or liquid discharge received from the rectum. The device may additionally include a fluid delivery component to enable delivery of enema fluid to the colon, and/or a withdrawal component to support safe removal of the device from the patient.

Enema device

The present invention provides devices for collection of stool or fecal discharge. In an embodiment said device comprising a retaining component configured for deployment within a subject's rectum and having an annular cross-section, said annular cross-section of the retaining component forming a fluid inlet into an open end of a collection component affixed to said retaining component and forming a receptacle for matter discharged from a subject's rectum.

Fecal discharge collection device

Systems and assemblies for performing point-of-care, fluidic assays having self-contained, portable fluidic assay systems or assemblies. A housing comprises an assaying assembly, an inspiration actuator, and an expulsion actuator. The inspiration and expulsion actuators may include one-way valves. The assaying assembly is configured to provide a visual indicator in response to being contacted by one or more target analytes within a fluid-assay sample mixture. The fluidic assay assembly has a reciprocal plunger disposed therewithin and, in some embodiments, the plunger has a resilient member to bias the plunger in one direction. Movement of the plunger in a first direction implements an inspiration stroke for drawing the assay sample such that it contacts the fluid from the fluid chamber and continued movement of the plunger implements an expulsion stroke for expelling the fluid-assay sample mixture through the outlet opening to the receptacle of the assaying assembly.

Systems and assemblies for point-of-care fluidic assays

The invention provides an apparatus for fecal management, comprising a device for collection of fecal discharge, and an insertion component. The device for collection of fecal discharge may comprise an expansile retaining component configured for deployment within a subject's rectum and having an annular cross-section. The insertion component may be configured for rectal insertion of the retaining component, and may include an elongate shaft having a first end positioned proximal to the retaining component and a second end positioned distal to the retaining component. At least one of the retaining component and the elongate shaft may be provided with a plurality of constraining members configured to releasably constrain the retaining component in a collapsed configuration against an external surface of the elongate shaft.

Delivery system for fecal management device

A collector for fecal discharge is provided comprising a self-expanding resilient collection component, a housing sheath and a transit component. The collection component has an open proximal and distal end and a lumen connecting them. The component comprises interconnected resilient arms circumscribing its contour, wherein adjacent arms are resiliently biased away from each other for exerting outwardly radial pressure for expanding and anchoring the component to rectal walls upon deployment. The housing sheath comprises a flexible and resilient material overlaying at least one of inner or outer contour of collection component without interfering with or blocking its ends or lumen. The transit component provides a conduit for fecal discharge to migrate from collection component to a receptacle and comprises a flexible, tubular sheath having a first open end connected to a second end by a lumen, wherein the first end engages with the proximal end of the collection component.

Device for collecting material from a body cavity

Fecal management methods and apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) may apply one or more fecal removal cycles of suction and irrigation (and in some examples air) to actively remove fecal material. The apparatus may control the timing of delivery of the fecal removal cycles as well as the parameters of the applied suction, irrigation and/or air within and between fecal removal cycles.

Fecal management systems and methods

A urine removal device includes a plurality of layers suitable to capture and transfer urine. A conduit system is disposed inside of the device and extends from the proximal portion of the device, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member, to the distal end of the device where it draws in urine from the device. The device allows air flow through the device to support suction that is applied. The fluid layer system has at least one conduit configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the device up to the proximal end of the device, and into the outlet conduit where it exits the urine removal device.

Female fluid removal device

A urine removal device includes a pouch with a proximal opening that provides access to an internal compartment of the pouch that is suitable to contain urine. A fluid diverter system is disposed inside of the pouch and extends from the proximal portion of the pouch, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member to the environment outside of the pouch, to the distal end of the pouch where it draws in urine from the pouch. The pouch has at least one air port to allow air flow through the device to support suction that is applied inside of the pouch. The fluid diverter system has at least one conduit member configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the pouch up to the proximal end of the pouch, and into the outlet conduit member where it exits the fluid collection device.
