  • Synthetic polyisoprene foley catheter
    Patent number: 8633268
    Abstract: An indwelling urinary drainage catheter (12, 110) includes synthetic polyisoprene rubber (SPIR). Advantageously, the SPIR catheter can meet the tensile and resiliency requirements of Foley applications while avoiding the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients. The SPIR comprises an accelerator system that uses a carbamate as the only accelerator, a guanidine as the only accelerator, a combination of guanidine and carbamate accelerators, a combination of carbamate and thiazole accelerators, or a combination of guanidine, carbamate and thiazole accelerators.
    Type: Grant

  • Balloon catheter with improved resistance to non-deflation
    Patent number: 7628784
    Abstract: Balloon catheters are disclosed that comprise a material that confers improved resistance to non-deflation. Balloon catheters are also disclosed that comprise a reduced drainage lumen diameter. In some embodiments the catheters achieve these characteristics without rendering the catheters undesirably stiff.

  • Catheter
    Patent number: 5201724
    Abstract: A medical catheter, for example, for drainage of a bodily fluid such as urine, includes a biodegradable portion which place in a body cavity, and thereby resists infection or the formation of encrustation or blockages normally associated with indwelling catheters.
