  • Publication number: 20240108797
    Abstract: Irrigation devices, methods, and systems are disclosed. The system comprises a catheter with one or more lumens and an expandable portion. One or more pumps are used to supply a mixture of contrasting and dilating agents in an interior kidney volume and flush a portion of the mixture out of the interior kidney volume. The method comprises placing a catheter into the interior kidney volume through a ureter, occluding a portion of the ureter with a distal end of the catheter, forming an exit port through an exterior kidney surface, flowing the contrasting and dilating agents through the one or more lumens to supply the mixture in the interior kidney volume, and flushing a portion of the mixture out of the exit port.

  • Publication number: 20140096415
    Abstract: A footwear system with a swiveling heel operable to facilitate access for adorning footwear. The heel swivels or detaches to allow facilitated access to an interior portion of the footwear. The heel joins with a body of the footwear at a hinge. The hinge allows the heel and the body to rotate or swivel relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation. The heel rotates around the hinge in a substantially horizontal direction. The heel swivels away from the body to form an open position, and then secures back to the body to form a closed position. Fasteners secure the rotating free end of the heel to the body portion. A pad portion at least partially covers the fasteners and the hinge to provide comfort while adorning the footwear. Straps extend from the heel to join with the fasteners on the body portion.
