  • Delivery cap for implantation of a penile prosthetic into a penis
    Patent number: 9707009
    Abstract: A system for implanting a penile prosthetic into a penis with an insertion tool includes a penile implant, a tow suture, and a delivery cap. The implant has a proximal end insertable into a crus penis and a distal end insertable into a glans penis. The tow suture is coupled to the distal end of the penile implant. The delivery cap is coupled to the tow suture and a portion of the delivery cap is shaped as a hemispherical dome. The delivery cap has an aperture that is formed in the hemispherical dome, with the aperture sized to allow the needle of the insertion tool to pass through the aperture.

  • DYNAMICALLY INTEGRATED DISPARATE COMPUTER-AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20170024449
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically integrating disparate computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems are disclosed. The systems and methods provide bi-directional interoperability between disparate CAD systems and maintain stateful ongoing interactions between interconnected CAD systems. Information objects in one CAD system are associated and bound to related objects in other CAD systems through a centralized information hub that transforms data items intelligently to facilitate communication and interaction between the CAD systems connected to the hub. The described systems and methods maintain complete and current perspectives of all relevant information for each CAD system connected to the information hub, thereby eliminating the need for point-to-point intelligence maintained by the CAD systems about the other interconnected CAD systems.

  • Penile prosthetic insert with a body having a channel and a method for implantation of a penile prosthetic
    Patent number: 9498333
    Abstract: An implantable penile prosthetic insert for placement in a corpora cavernosum of a penis and capable of transitioning the penis between a flaccid and an erect state. A body of the insert is made from a bio-compatible material and extends between a proximal end and a distal end. The body includes an exterior surface defining a channel extending longitudinally along the body. The body is configured to transition between a first state corresponding to the flaccid state of the penis and a second state corresponding to the erect state of the penis. The channel is present in both the first and the second state. A method for implanting a penile prosthetic insert and a kit of parts are also disclosed.

  • Artificial urinary sphincter system having a cuff with an inflatable balloon attached to a frame
    Patent number: 9486301
    Abstract: An artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) system includes a pump attachable with tubing between a pressure regulating reservoir and a cuff. The cuff is configured for placement around a portion of a urethra and has a frame with at least one inflatable balloon attached to the frame. A gap is formed from a top edge to a bottom edge of the frame, where the gap provides the rigid frame with a C-shaped conformation in lateral cross-section having a first lateral section separated from a second lateral section. Each inflatable balloon(s) is/are attached to an interior surface on one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section of the frame.

  • METHOD OF IMPLANTING A PENILE PROSTHETIC BY CAPTURING A SUTURE IN A SLOT FORMED THROUGH AN EXTERIOR SURFACE OF A NEEDLE
    Publication number: 20160317306
    Abstract: One aspect provides advancing a distal end of a needle out of a bore of a tool, and capturing a suture in a slot formed through an exterior surface of the needle, with the suture engaged with a penile implant. The method includes retracting the distal end of the needle and a portion of the suture into the bore of the tool, and inserting a shaft of the tool into a corpora cavernosum of a penis and forcing the distal end of the needle and the portion of the suture out of the bore of the tool and through a glans of the penis. The method includes retracting the needle into the bore and retaining the portion of the suture exterior to the glans of the penis. Pulling on the suture pulls the penile implant into the corpora cavernosum of the penis.
