Abstract: A skin surface electrical stimulation device or electrode for use in the treatment of various conditions. The electrode has a plurality of conductive regions spaced from one another in predetermined positions around a non-conductive body that extends longitudinally from a head portion to a tail portion. At least two posterior conductors are positioned in the tail portion and spaced laterally from each other. One or more anterior conductors are positioned in the head portion and spaced longitudinally from the respective posterior conductors. An opening extends longitudinally rearwardly from an intermediate position in the body to split the tail portion into right and left portions. The electrode device is configured for placement proximate perineal area in an individual or animal for delivery of treatment via generating an electrical charge through respective conductors.

Abstract: A skin surface electrode used in the treatment of incontinence. The electrode has one or more conductive regions and an egress through which bodily fluid may pass without substantially adversely affecting tissue contact in the conductive regions of the electrode. The electrode is configured for placement proximate a patient's perineal tissues. An incontinence treatment system includes an electrode, wearable signal generator and interface module.

Abstract: A stent may include a flexible, elongate body having a curled proximal portion, a curled distal portion, and a main portion extending between the proximal and distal portions. The main and distal portions together may define a channel laterally open throughout at least a part of the channel's length and extending along the main and distal portions without extending along the proximal portion, whereby the channel's proximal end is disposed in the main portion. In addition, the proximal portion may be curled away from the channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of medical devices are described, such as stents, for dilating passageways. A medical device can include a flexible body, having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The flexible body can further include a flexible elongate member that is defined by a longitudinally extending aperture in the body. The member can be radially expandable with respect to the longitudinal axis. The device can also define an eccentric lumen, at least a portion of the eccentric lumen being offset from the longitudinal axis.
