  • Publication number: 20250114233
    Abstract: The field of devices for the draining urine that are attached to the penis of a patient, in particular a patient with urinary incontinence, without a medical glue or adhesive. The device includes a balanic sheath and an attachment system, wherein the balanic sheath includes a proximal portion, the proximal portion of the balanic sheath having a frustoconical inner surface and an outer surface each having a distal end having a small diameter and a proximal end having a large diameter, wherein the attachment system is configured to hold the retracted foreskin on the outer surface of the proximal portion, the balanic sheath including a distal portion extending the proximal portion with an outer surface having a protrusion, such that the retracted foreskin is held by the attachment system between the proximal portion and the distal portion.

  • Publication number: 20240253037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic chip capable of attracting and trapping a specific biological element, said chip comprising: a reservoir (1) consisting of a matrix comprising a chemoattractant compound capable of attracting the biological element, and at least one array of microchannels (2) arranged between the reservoir (1) and the external medium (3) of the chip and enabling the chemoattractant compound to pass towards said medium and the biological element present in said medium to pass towards the reservoir (1), characterized in that each microchannel is in the form of a harpoon comprising at least two arrows spaced apart longitudinally and directed towards the reservoir, in which each arrow comprises two branches each having a free end forming an acute angle of between 10° and 80°, and in which each arrow comprises two openings (7) communicating with a longitudinal part of the microchannel and having a width of between 5 ?m and 30 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20220133392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic chip for attracting and destroying a specific biological element, said chip comprising: a reservoir (1) consisting of a matrix comprising a chemoattractant compound capable of attracting the biological element at least one network of microchannels (2) arranged between the reservoir (1) and the external environment (3) of the chip and allowing the chemoattractant compound to pass to said environment and the biological element present in said environment to pass to the reservoir (1) at least one electrode (4) arranged between the reservoir (1) and the network of microchannels (2) or at the same location as the network of microchannels (2), said electrode (4) being capable of generating an electric field so as to destroy the biological element during its passage to the reservoir (1).
