The Foley Catheter Cap molded from medical grade silicone to provide a stable base for the insertion of an indwelling 'Foley' catheter so that tearing of the urethra does not occur. Since the head of a penis contains no sweat glands of any kind, there is no buildup of fluids beneath the Foley Catheter Cap to occur which thereby precludes an environment under the Foley Catheter Cap which could be conducive for infections to grow. Because of this the benefits of a Foley Catheter Cap for male patients required to have an indwelling catheter for extended periods of time greatly outweigh any latent risk while the omission of the proposed Foley Catheter Cap exposes male patients to the potential of the well-documented serious injury and follow-on reconstructive surgery caused by Ventral Erosion of the penis.

The garden hose guide includes a spiral stake member terminating at a lower end in a sharpened point. A hose support and guide define an upper portion of the stake member. The hose support and guide includes a roller, a first support arm and a hose guide arm disposed perpendicular to the first support arm. A conventional washer is attached to the stake member and is utilized to manipulate the stake for securing the stake in the ground.

The improved incinerator is a concentric elongated tubular array, with an outer closed tubular housing or shell, an annular tubular heat exchanger in the form of a bundle of spaced open ended tubes inside the housing and spaced inwardly therefrom to define an annular air passageway therebetween and front and rear spaces, and a tubular combustion chamber having an open front end and an open rear end. The front end thereof is necked down and in the form of a small diameter tubular inlet immediately downstream of the combustion zone in the combustion chamber. A fuel line, a fluidized waste material line and an ignition system pass through the inlet into the combustion zone, along with heated air to initiate and maintain the desired complete combustion of the waste material. The air is preheated by blowing it into the passageway and around and over the heat exchange tubes, before passing it into the combustion zone. The waste gases exit the housing through an exhaust stack at the front of the incinerator, which stack can be in heat exchange with the blower duct, in order to also heat the air and cool the exhaust gases. The incinerator operates, in accordance with the present method, with improved efficiency, requiring less fuel and producing fewer exhaust gases.

An improved intramedullary nailing device including a plurality of pivotal blades which rotate outward to engage the distal end of a fractured bone. Specifically, the blades are pivotally coupled to a connector member which translates longitudinally in either direction within an elongated sheath, translation of the connector member toward the front end of the sheath resulting in the outward rotation of the blades into the bone at its distal end. The bone engaging mechanism prevents rotation, angulation, and antero posterior translation with the device inserted lengthwise into the bone.
