  • Urinary catheter immobilizer
    Patent number: 7959611
    Abstract: Disclosed is a urinary catheter immobilizer for immobilizing movement of a urinary catheter in a human body. The urinary catheter immobilizer comprises a funnel-shaped member and a body member configured to be received over the funnel-shaped member. The funnel-shaped member has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is capable of being received over a urinary meatus of the human body. The body member is configured to be received over the second end portion of the funnel-shaped member and capable of removably attaching to an external portion of the urinary catheter. The body member comprises a torus-shaped structure and at least one elongated tubular structure. The torus-shaped structure comprises at least one channel. The at least one channel is capable of receiving the at least one elongated tubular structure for looping around the torus-shaped structure for immobilizing the urinary catheter.

  • End seal design for temperature sensing probes
    Patent number: 7060949
    Abstract: An end seal for a temperature sensing probe. Electrical interface wiring is passed through a restraining element and is operatively coupled to a temperature sensing element or heater element mounted in the sheath. The sheath is formed around the restraining element in a shape that provides a net force inward as temperature variations expand and contract the restraining element.
