Uterine sampler

A urethral cap is provided for alleviating urinary incontinence when attached to the body of the user. The cap has at least a partially deformable cap body with a hand gripping portion and a body contacting encircling surface. The body defines a chamber so as to allow for a vacuum seal when applied to the body so that there is an atmospheric air pressure seal between the urethral cap and the body to prevent urinary flow beyond the urethral cap.

A laparoscopy cannula reducer has at its proximal end a resilient end seal carrying a resilient tri-cuspid valve; the valve is passive, yet allows sealing of a body cavity in surgical procedures to prevent fluid flow between the atmosphere and the body cavity, both when an instrument is carried within the cannula and when the cannula is not being used for passage of an instrument to the body and the reducer has handgripping portions for applying and disengaging the reducer over a laparoscopy cannula.
