Abstract: A rectocele device having a rectocele handle with a first static paddle removably affixed to a rectocele paddle connector at a paddle connector end. A second static paddle is configured to replace the first static paddle after the first static paddle is removed from the rectocele paddle connector. The first static paddle is configured and sized to fit within a human vagina wherein the first static paddle is only removable from the handle distal end when the first static paddle is not deployed in the human vagina. The first static paddle is shaped differently from the second static paddle. The first or second static paddle is inserted in a human vagina (by a woman using the rectocele device) wherein the first or second static paddle can be leveraged against a rectocele via the rectocele handle thereby pushing the rectocele bulge back into the colon so that the woman can evacuate a bowel more efficiently.

Abstract: A medicinal applicator that is defined by a base, a medicinal cream receiving port in the base, and a shaft extending along a shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator tip is useful in smearing medicinal cream in a person's colon. There is at least one exit aperture located along a portion of the shaft through which the cream can exit. The medicinal applicator has an unobstructed pathway is in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture in addition to a stop plate that extends radially from the base delineating the base from the shaft. The shaft's outer shape is defined by an oblong cross section that is uniform along the entire length of the shaft.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of a medicinal applicator can comprise a base, a medicinal cream receiving port in the base, and a shaft extending along a conceptual shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator tip. There is at least one exit aperture located along a portion of the shaft. An unobstructed pathway is in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture. A stop plate that extends essentially radially from the base delineating the base from the shaft. The shaft possesses a shaft outer shape defined by a shaped leading and trailing edge defining a narrow diameter proximal zone that extends along the shaft from the stop plate to a gradually increasing diameter transition zone that extends to a large diameter paddle zone, which terminates into a shaft distal end.

Abstract: A rectocele device having an inflatable balloon and extendable armature inside of the balloon as the balloon expands provides added stability when used to push on a rectocele. More specifically, a rectocele handle can include a rectocele paddle, which can extend in length, and balloon combination extending from the handle. The paddle, generally comprised by a piston and piston housing, can increase its length by way of a piston extending in and out of the piston housing. When the rectocele paddle and balloon combination is deployed in a vagina, to push on the rectocele, the balloon is inflated which causes the piston to extend from the piston housing with the balloon inflation. The piston and piston housing paddle provide stability for the inflated balloon.

More specifically, a rectocele handle can include a rectocele paddle, which can extend in length, and balloon combination extending from the handle. A protective sheath that has a tubular body covers the balloon. The paddle, generally comprised by a piston and piston housing, can increase its length by way of a piston extending in and out of the piston housing. When the rectocele paddle and balloon combination is deployed in a vagina, to push on the rectocele, the balloon is inflated which causes the piston to extend from the piston housing with the balloon inflation. The piston and piston housing paddle provide stability for the inflated balloon.

Abstract: An applicator 270 includes a stem 174 having an axially-formed slot delivery passage 200. A slot 350 is formed transaxially through the stem 174 and is in communication with the slot delivery passage 200. An extended side wall 350b is formed on one side of the slot 350. A flat surface 354, which is formed in the stem 174, is spaced and extends angularly away from an opposite side of the slot 176 and from the extended side wall 350b to provide for direct and lateral dispensing of a cream 280 onto a tissue 242 of a patient.

Abstract: Described is a phacoemulsification device for eye surgery that generally comprises an ultrasonically vibrating aspiration needle that withdraws ocular material from inside of the eye. The ocular material withdrawn from the eye is equally replaced with irrigation fluid provided through irrigation ports in an irrigation sleeve surrounding the aspiration needle. In the event the aspiration needle stops withdrawing ocular material, such as if it becomes occluded with a chunk of ocular material, irrigation fluid is directed to the outside of the eye via at least one irrigation aperture to keep the eye cool where the needle is ultrasonically vibrating.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of an anal medicinal applicator that have a non-circular shaped shaft provide enhanced medicinal cream efficacy when applied to a pathologic anal canal. The oblong or non-primarily circular shaped shaft enhances the ability of the shaft to more easily be made to move into the folds and contours in the anal canal thereby more evenly spreading medicinal cream on the full surface of the anal canal. Other envision a generally circular (in cross-section) enlarged dome that helps to keep the medicinal cream in the anal canal. Other embodiments include a medicine blocking ring on the shaft near the handle that prevents the medicinal cream from flowing out of the anus when the anal medicinal applicator is being used.

Abstract: A surgical instrument and method, for example to accomplish phacoemulsification, are disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a handpiece that includes a piezoelectric transducer. A hollow titanium needle having a substantially cylindrical portion and a free distal tip is attached to the handpiece by way of a threaded supported end structure. The piezoelectric transducer is driven by a circuit to periodically expand and contract at a high-ultrasound frequency that rings the hollow titanium needle with a high-ultrasonic frequency standing wave having a node of minimum amplitude residing in the substantially cylindrical portion between the supported end structure and the free distal tip, and to periodically expand and contract at an ultrasound frequency that rings the hollow titanium needle with an ultrasonic frequency standing wave, the circuit adapted to between the high-ultrasonic frequency and the ultrasonic frequency.
