Patent number: 8668683Abstract: The present invention relates to a urinary catheter collection system comprising a urinary catheter, a collection bag neck, and a collection bag body. The invention particularly relates to a urinary catheter collection system having a detachable bag body, which allows a user the option to detach the collection bag body from the collection bag neck so that urine may drain from the catheter into a suitable container, such as a toilet, preventing the user from having to empty or dispose of a used urine collection bag body.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventor: John H. Golden

Patent number: 7985217Abstract: The present application relates to a urinary catheter movement system for use with a urinary catheter located within an interior volume of a urinary catheter pouch. The system can include a catheter movement controller configured to selectively control longitudinal movement of the catheter relative to a port in the pouch. The system further can include a gripper assembly configured for gripping the catheter located within the interior volume of the urinary catheter pouch.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventors: Theodore J. Mosler, Todd M. Korogi, Scott P. Jarnagin, F. Peter Hiltz, John H. Golden

Publication number: 20090137986Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for controlling movement of a catheter that is at least partially disposed therein a urinary catheter pouch. More particularly, the device relates to a catheter movement control device for use with a urinary catheter pouch which allows a user to selectively remove at least a portion of the catheter from the pouch, and prevents the catheter from moving back into the pouch once the catheter has been deployed unless and until the user desires to move the catheter back into the catheter pouch.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2008Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventors: John H. Golden, Theodore J. Mosler, Todd M. Korogi, Scott P. Jarnagin, F. Peter Hiltz

Patent number: 7458964Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for controlling movement of a catheter that is at least partially disposed therein a urinary catheter pouch. The invention particularly relates to a catheter movement control device for use with a urinary catheter pouch which aids in preventing the catheter from moving back into the pouch once the catheter has been deployed. The device makes it easier to use a urinary catheter contained in a urinary catheter pouch. This is especially true for those with disabilities that would have difficulty gripping the catheter within the pouch.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2006Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventors: Theodore J. Mosler, Todd M. Korogi, Scott P. Jarnagin, F. Peter Hiltz, John H. Golden

Publication number: 20020133130Abstract: A catheter movement control device is provided which allows forward, extending movement of the catheter tube contained within a flexible package to the exterior thereof as required during insertion. The method of use includes moving the catheter tube through the control device to exit the catheter package where it is inserted into the urethra. If resistance is encountered during insertion a stop member firmly engages the catheter tube to prevent rearward movement of the catheter tube under normal urging.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2002Publication date: September 19, 2002Applicant: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventor: Robert L. Wilcox

Patent number: 6402726Abstract: A catheter movement control device is presented having therein a resilient biasing member and a tube gripper which mount on a catheter tube. The biasing member and tube gripper are contained within a housing having a shoulder proximate the catheter tube. As the catheter tube is free to move in a forward direction through the housing, upon attempted rearward movement the biasing member engages the tube gripper causing it to pivot against a shoulder within the housing. Upon pivoting the tube gripper tightly engages the catheter tube preventing any further rearward movement of the catheter tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Medical Technologies of Georgia, Inc.Inventor: Joseph N. Genese
