Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drainage catheter and methods of use for providing catheterization procedures, such as during a percutaneous nephrostomy. The drainage catheter includes a body including a first tube segment and a second tube segment connected to one another at a curved end portion to form a continuous body structure. An inner surface of the curved end portion includes one or more drainage openings extending therethrough, with an outer surface of the curved end portion free of drainage openings. The openings are in communication with a lumen that extends through the drainage catheter to provide a pathway for removing fluid from the kidney. The drainage catheter is inserted into the kidney via a first insertion site and exits via a second insertion site.

Abstract: Medical devices for delivering a plug to a void within a patient. The medical device can include a fluid delivery device and a plug holder (e.g., a plug delivery device) coupled to a distal end of the fluid delivery device. The medical device may be configured such that the delivery of fluid from the fluid delivery device wets the plug, ejects the plug from the plug holder, and pushes the plug through a lumen of an elongate tube to a void within a patient.

Abstract: A device, and methods for using said device, for inserting a marker into a patient's body. The device may comprise a retention mechanism to hold the device in an first, undeployed, state. The device may be inserted into a patient's body in the first state, transitioned by the user into a second state wherein the retention mechanism is overcome, and then transition the device into a third state to deliver a marker to a precise location. The device may then be removed from the patient's body.

Abstract: Devices used to drain fluid are disclosed. The devices may be configured to drain fluid from a body cavity using a vacuum pressure. The devices include a reservoir and a vacuum generating member configured to expand the reservoir and generate a vacuum pressure within the reservoir. The devices can be configured to be shipped in a collapsed state.

Abstract: Medical devices including a cap for a medical connector are disclosed. In some embodiments, the cap comprises a disinfectant, such as an antiseptic fluid and an insert configured to seal or partially seal the medical connector as it is engaged with the cap. In some embodiments the cap insert has a segment which is deformable under axially applied pressure as an end-user attaches the cap to the medical connector. In some embodiments this insert is configured to improve the exposure of antiseptic to the outer surface of the medical connector while minimizing exposure of the antiseptic inside the medical connector open lumen.

Abstract: Medical devices for delivering compositions or medical articles to a patient are disclosed. The medical plug delivery devices can include a fluid delivery device (e.g., a syringe), a frame, and a rotatable magazine. The rotatable magazine can include a plurality of chambers that each hold a composition or a medical article (e.g., a medical plug). By rotating the rotatable magazine relative to the frame, material within the chambers of the rotatable magazine can be sequentially deployed to a patient.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods used to drain a body cavity under a vacuum are disclosed. The devices include a vacuum container, a cap, and a vacuum indicator. The vacuum indicator is configured to indicate a vacuum status of the container. The vacuum indicator includes one or more of an expandable member, a flexible membrane, a linear pressure gauge, a digital pressure gauge, a retractable member, a vacuum gauge, a displaceable seal member, a deflectable membrane, or a deflectable member.

Abstract: Radial artery compression devices with an inflatable chamber and a substantially rigid frame are disclosed. The inflatable chamber of the radial artery compression devices can be inflated and then deflated according to a predetermined protocol. Some substantially rigid frames can form a wall of the inflatable chamber. Some substantially rigid frames can include indicia to facilitate positioning of the inflatable chamber relative to a puncture site of a patient.

Abstract: Devices and methods used collect and transport a biological specimen are disclosed. The devices include a vial defining a specimen chamber to retain a specimen, a collection member to collect a specimen, and a cap containing a liquid medium to treat the specimen for transport. The cap includes a puncture member to puncture a seal to release the liquid medium from the cap.

By rotating the rotatable magazine relative to the frame, material within the chambers of the rotatable magazine can be sequentially deployed to a patient.

Abstract: Devices used to pressurize, depressurize, or otherwise displace fluid are disclosed. The devices may be configured to displace fluid in order to inflate or deflate a medical device, such as a balloon. The devices further include a crank member for providing a mechanical advantage when pressurizing or otherwise displacing fluid.

Abstract: Medical device dispensers along with related systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments dispenses within the scope of this disclosure may be configured to couple another structure such as an IV pole. Additionally, dispensers within the scope of this disclosure may be configured with locking or otherwise tamper resistant elements.

Abstract: Devices used to disinfect and maintain sterility of a medical valve connector are disclosed. The devices may comprise an insert that is configured to dispense disinfecting solution when the device is coupled to the medical valve connector. Insert grooves are configured to collapse sequentially as the insert is compressed by the medical valve connector.
