Title: Partial-length, indwelling prostatic catheter with inflation tube anchor and obstruction resistance and clearing
Inventor: BOLMSJOE MAGNUS
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: A partial-length indwelling catheter is anchored in the prostatic urethra by an inflatable balloon in the bladder and a coiled section of inflation tube which contacts the constriction of the urinary canal created by the external urinary sphincter muscle. The catheter drains urine from the bladder through the prostate gland to a position upstream of the external sphincter muscle, thereby allowing the sphincter muscle to naturally control urination. Urine drainage capability is made more resistant obstructions and blood clot accumulations by configurations of urine inlet openings. A low friction coating also resists blood clot accumulation. A single-use or multiple-use clearing device moves within an interior drainage passageway to contact and facilitate movement of the accumulated clots and obstructions out of the urine inlet opening and interior passageway. An insertion tool connects to the catheter to position the catheter for use within the prostatic urethra. Once positioned, the insertion tool is disconnected and withdrawn from the urinary canal. Risks of blood clots obstructing the urine flow passageway are avoided by flushing fluid through the insertion tool and the catheter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a fibre mat adapted for use in the manufacture of a fibre-reinforced device, said fibre mat comprising at least two essentially longitudinally extending and parallel batches of fibres.  Novel aspects of the method according to the invention involves that the method comprises that the batches are joined by holder means that span above or below each batch, whereby the holder means impart an influence to each batch which is essentially symmetrical about an axis situated longitudinally between the batches. A symmetrical influence about an axis longitudinally between the batches accomplishes that influence from one side is matched by influence from an opposite side. Hereby it is prevented that the batch will undulate. Simultaneously the batches are clearly separated, whereby resin is more easily conducted longitudinally of the batches.
