Publication number: 20220096332Abstract: An anti-reflux nasogastric tube includes a tube body and a positioning sleeve. The tube body has a first end and a second end. The first end has an opening. The second end has at least one hole. The opening communicates with the at least one hole through a pipeline. The positioning sleeve is disposed at the opening and has a socket part and an outer edge. The outer edge is located at one end of the socket part. The outer diameter of the outer edge is larger than the inner diameter of the nostril of the human body. Thus, the present invention allows the anti-reflux joints to be stuck in the nasal cavity of the human body by the structure of the positioning sleeve, and does not need to adhere the tube body to the cheek of the human body by adhering, thereby reducing the patient's discomfort and increasing the aesthetic appearance and avoiding inadvertent pulling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Wei-Chen Hong, Hang-Yi Lin, Hsin-Hui Huang

Publication number: 20190275289Abstract: A urinary catheter system includes a urinary catheter, a slidable sheath surrounding a portion of the catheter proximate the distal end, and an enclosure having a bottom member and a top member that rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation. Rotating the top member or the bottom member relative to the other member causes the catheter to wind into a spiral between the inner wall of the bottom member and the outer wall of the top member. Some embodiments also include a urine collection bag attached to the proximal end of the catheter and housed within an inner open portion of the enclosure. Some embodiments also include a hygienic sleeve disposed over at least part of the catheter, to enhance cleanliness of the catheter before use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Daniel Wei-Chen HONG, Naama Stauber BRECKLER

Patent number: 10265499Abstract: A urinary catheter system includes a catheter, a sheath, an enclosure and a plug. The catheter has distal and proximal ends. The sheath is slidable along the catheter between first and second positions. The enclosure encloses a majority of the catheter and includes a bottom member, a top member, an outer peripheral wall defining an outer hole to allow advancement of the distal end, and an inner peripheral wall defining an inner hole, where the catheter is extendable through the inner hole. Rotating the top or bottom member relative to the other member causes the catheter to wind within the enclosure. The plug can seal the proximal end to block liquid flow, and a user can disengage the plug to allow liquid flow.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: COMPACTCATH, INC.Inventors: Daniel Wei-Chen Hong, Naama Stauber

Publication number: 20110015742Abstract: A spine fusion cage comprises a housing, a movable member, a sliding member and a screw. The upper surface of the housing has an opening through which the movable member can move in a vertical direction. The sliding member is provided within the housing and can move in a longitudinal direction of the spine fusion cage. The movable member has an activation surface. In the case that the activation surface is in contact with the sliding member, movement of the sliding member in the longitudinal direction of the spine fusion cage causes the movable member to move up or down. The sliding member is moved by turning the screw such that the movable member can move up or down.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventor: Wei-Chen Hong

Publication number: 20110015488Abstract: A working conduit comprises an inner tube and an outer tube into which the inner tube can be inserted. The inner tube is a transparent hollow tube of which one end is a close end, and the other end is an open end. The outer tube is also a transparent hollow tube of which both ends are open ends. The close end of the inner tube is configured as a semi-spherical shape, a curved surface, a streamline shape, a parabolic surface or a cone with a rounded tip. The inner tube can be used as an observation tube. An endoscope can be inserted into the inner tube for confirming the position, range, orientation and/or depth of the portion to be surgically treated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventor: Wei-Chen Hong
