Abstract: A connector-with-integrated-check-valve for minimizing microbial migration to catheter-tubing is formed from three parts: a connector-for-catheter-tubing that is hollow and with an internal valve seat; an elastomer gate (sometimes with disc and stem); and a connector-for-extension-tubing that is hollow and with support-surfaces.

Abstract: A urinary tubing for mitigating against microbial migration, as well as a system and method for forming and maintaining a closed-system of urinary tubing are described. Such tubing may comprise: a first terminal end; a second terminal end, longitudinally opposing the first terminal end; a wettable region, which may comprise a surface which may be wetted by a fluid flowing within the tubing; and a means for mitigating against microbial migration in a direction opposite of intended flow. Such means may be selected from one or more of the group comprising at least one check-valve, at least one biofilm abater, and the wettable region treated with an antimicrobial coating. Such means may be located within the tubing, at the first terminal end, or at the second terminal end.

Abstract: A convenient urology undergarment pant system for collecting urine discharge comprising of an undergarment that extends from around the waist and down the thighs. The undergarment can be used with urine collection devices from the urethra area (male condom-like coupling or female external receiving device), from the bladder by means of an ileoconduit system, and from the kidney(s) by means of a nephrostomy system. The undergarment includes a sewn inner pouch formed from an additional piece of fabric that holds the leg bag in place without the need for leg straps. There is an opening in the crotch area of the undergarment that provides means for placing the leg bag inside the inner pouch. The undergarment also includes a lower opening to accommodate the release valve of the leg bag.

Abstract: An optical system which contains multiple images comprised of two or more images at varying focal distances, which when viewed consecutively and in repetition will exercise the ciliary muscle of the eyes. The optical system may have its own power to illuminate said images. The shifting of conditions of the viewer to alternate the viewing of one image and then the other, may involve the physical movement of the user's head, the system may contain a motor coupled to rotate said system, or the configuration of the lighting source(s) shall illuminate one image and then another. The system may include a clock-timer and control of the variable speed of illumination between one optical image to another. The system may include a sound alarm to remind the viewer to utilize the holographic system.

Abstract: A holographic system which contains a multiple image hologram comprised of two or more images at varying focal distances, which when viewed consecutively and in repetition will exercise the ciliary muscle of the eyes. The holographic system will have its own power to illuminate said hologram. The shifting of conditions of the viewer to alternate the viewing of one image and then the other, may involve the physical movement of the user's head, or the system may contain a motor coupled to rotate said system. The system may include a clock-timer to activate said motor, and for periodically illuminating the hologram. The system may include a sound alarm to remind the viewer to utilize the holographic system.

Abstract: A hologram comprised of two or more opticals (10) which communicate images of depth-of-field; a light source (11) to illuminate said opticals.
