  • Patent number: 12350190
    Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. The urine collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a chamber. The fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one elongated portion having a first width and distal to the aperture and a second portion having a second width greater than the first width. The second portion at least partially defines an opening in the fluid impermeable barrier, and the opening has a maximum lateral dimension greater than the first width of the elongated portion. The fluid permeable body is configured to wick fluid away from the opening into the at least one elongated portion.

  • Publication number: 20240268655
    Abstract: A ureteroscope system including a ureteroscope configured for insertion into a urinary tract of a patient body is disclosed herein. The system can include an image processing module having a console with one or more processors and memory having logic stored thereon. The logic can perform various operations including providing a ureteroscope video image where transient objects have been removed to provide unobstructed visibility of persistent objects. The logic can perform other operations including object tracking, object highlighting, and object sizing. Overlays can provide for the depiction of indicia on top of ureteroscope images A method of performing a lithotripsy procedure in conjunction with the system is also disclosed.
