A urethral suppository comprising a non-meltable base member sized to prevent insertion of the base member into the urethra, a non-meltable reinforcement projecting from the base member, and a meltable portion formed around a portion of the reinforcement. The meltable portion tapers along the reinforcement and is shaped for cooperating with the action of the periurethral musculature to retain the suppository within the urethra. A method of delivering one or more therapeutic agents to the female urinary tract, the method involving insertion of the urethral suppository into the urethra. A method for manufacturing a reinforced urethral suppository.

Reinforced urethral suppository

A urethral suppository having a shaft shaped for cooperating with the action of the periurethral musculature to retain the suppository within the urethra, and having a knob extending from an end of the shaft sized to prevent over insertion of the suppository. A method of delivering one or more therapeutic agents to the urethra and associated structures, the method involving insertion of the urethral suppository into the urethra.

Method of delivering therapeutic agents to the urethra and an urethral suppository

A catheter for insertion into a cavity, duct, or vessel to permit injection or withdrawal of fluids or to establish patency of a passageway comprises an elongated tubular catheter body having a distal end and a proximal end and an outer diameter, a drainage lumen extending through the catheter body from the distal end to the proximal end, the drainage lumen communicating with an opening in the catheter body at the distal end of the catheter body, an inflation lumen formed in the catheter body, and one or more of the following: a) inflatable tube sections disposed on the catheter body at the distal end of the catheter body for securing the distal end of the catheter body in a desired location when the tube sections are inflated, b) a valve connected to the inflation lumen for permitting backflow of the inflation fluid from the inflation lumen through the valve when a pre-set pressure value is reached, and c) a hollow reservoir for holding a pre-determined volume of inflation fluid.
