Abstract: A stirrer for stirring a curable composition extracted from a squeezable container may include a body extending along a stirrer axis. A slot may be defined in the body along the stirrer axis. The slot may be configured to retain or squeeze at least a portion of the squeezable container. A total length of the slot may be less than 80% of a total length of the body. The stirrer may further include a tab extending from the body, which may have a substantially polygonal contour. The slot may extend to a teardrop-shaped end facing the tab. The slot may extend along a zigzag line. The tab may be held during engagement of the squeezable container with the slot to extract the curable composition and during stirring. The body may defining a tubular section defining the slot. The stirrer may further include a scoop extending from the tubular section.

Abstract: A catheter includes an elongated tube having a distal portion having a distal end and a sidewall defining at least one drainage lumen. The catheter also includes a permeable material. The permeable material is configured to be deployed in the urinary tract to maintain the distal end of the elongated tube at a predetermined position in a bladder, a ureter, a renal pelvis, or a kidney of the patient. When deployed, the permeable material defines a three-dimensional shape of sufficient size to permit flow of at least a portion of fluid from the urinary tract through the permeable material and the at least one drainage lumen.

Abstract: A catheter includes an elongated tube having a distal portion having a distal end and a sidewall defining at least one drainage lumen. The sidewall includes a drainage portion which allows fluid to pass through the sidewall and into the drainage lumen. The catheter also includes a permeable tissue support. The tissue support is configured to be deployed in the urinary tract to maintain the distal end of the elongated tube at a predetermined position in a bladder, a ureter, a renal pelvis, or a kidney of the patient. When deployed, the permeable tissue support defines a three-dimensional shape of sufficient size to permit flow of at least a portion of fluid from the urinary tract through the tissue support and drainage portion of the elongated tube to the at least one drainage lumen.

Abstract: A fluid collection catheter includes an elongated tube having a proximal portion, a distal portion having a distal end, and a sidewall extending between a proximal end and the distal end thereof defining at least one drainage lumen. The sidewall of the tube includes a drainage portion. The fluid collection catheter also includes a tissue support having at least a first flange including a central portion connected to the distal portion of the tube and an outer portion extending radially and axially therefrom. The first flange can be configured to be deployed in a patient's bladder to maintain the distal end of the tube at a position in the bladder. When deployed, the tissue support defines a three-dimensional shape of sufficient size to permit flow of fluid contained in the bladder from the bladder through the drainage portion of the tube to the at least one drainage lumen.
