A method of making a urinary catheter set includes providing a collection bag that has an interior space configured to contain urine, the interior space defined by opposing edges and an exterior surface. The collection bag has a first extension extending from a first of the opposing edges, and a second extension extending from a second of the opposing edges opposite the first of the opposing edges, wherein neither the first extension nor the second extension form part of the interior space. The method further includes positioning a urinary catheter in the interior space, placing one or more components of the urinary catheter set on the exterior surface, folding the first extension toward the second extension around the one or more components, and fastening the first extension to the second extension to form a cavity over the exterior surface and the one or more components.

Devices for treating or managing fecal or bowel incontinence and methods employing them. Such a device can form a seal with at least a portion of the bowel to prevent unwanted discharge of fecal matter from the rectum. Such a device can include an elastomeric skin having a bulbous portion. Such a device can include a grip configured to remain exterior to the subject.

Device for controlling fecal incontinence

The present invention relates to devices for treating or managing fecal or bowel incontinence and methods employing them. Such a device can form a seal with at least a portion of the bowel to prevent unwanted discharge of fecal matter from the rectum.

A urinary catheter set includes a urine collection bag formed into an outer packaging for the urinary catheter set, and a urinary catheter positioned inside of the urine collection bag.

A method for introducing a urinary catheter of a urinary catheter package, the urinary catheter package including a grip designed for sliding movement over the urinary catheter. The grip can include a body designed to surround the urinary catheter shaft, a first flare, and a second flare. The body can include a proximal end, a distal end, and a gripping area between the proximal end and the distal end, the gripping area designed to contact the urinary catheter upon the application of force to the gripping area. The first flare can increase in cross-sectional area from the gripping area to the proximal end of the body. The second flare can increase in cross-sectional area from the gripping area to the distal end of the body. The method includes removing the urinary catheter from a proximal end of the urinary catheter package.

Catheter grip and method

The present invention relates to devices for treating or managing fecal or bowel incontinence and methods employing them. In an embodiment, such a device can form a seal with at least a portion of the bowel to prevent unwanted discharge of fecal matter from the rectum.

Catheter in a bag without additional packaging

A grip designed for sliding movement over a urinary catheter shaft, and a urinary catheter system including a urinary catheter and the grip. The grip includes a body designed to surround the urinary catheter shaft, a first flare, and a second flare. The body includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a gripping area between the proximal end and the distal end, the gripping area designed to contact the urinary catheter shaft upon the application of force to the gripping area. The first flare increases in cross-sectional area from the gripping area to the proximal end of the body. The second flare increases in cross-sectional area from the gripping area to the distal end of the body.

The present invention relates to a device that secures a straight or Foley catheter in the urinary tract of a male subject. The device includes a portion that can be coupled to the subject's penis and a portion that can be coupled to the straight or Foley catheter. The present invention also relates to methods of making and using this device and to assemblies including the device and a straight or Foley catheter.

Sheath for securing urinary catheter

The present invention relates to a urinary catheter and collection bag that can be provided without additional packaging.

The present invention includes an apparatus for gripping a catheter and methods employing it. The catheter grip can be configured to surround a shaft of a catheter and allow a person to manipulate the catheter without the person touching the insertable length of the catheter. The method includes grasping the gripping apparatus for removing the catheter from its package and for inserting the catheter into an urethra.
