Abstract
A method includes mixing a liquid carrier and a powder formulation including an S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) powder to form a nitric oxide generating solution; and within a predetermined time of mixing, introducing the nitric oxide generating solution into an inflatable and nitric oxide permeable balloon of a urinary catheter that is inserted in a patient.
Claims9
A method, comprising:
- mixing a liquid carrier and a powder formulation including an S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) powder to form a nitric oxide generating solution;
- within a predetermined time of mixing, introducing the nitric oxide generating solution into an inflatable and nitric oxide permeable balloon of a urinary catheter that is inserted in a patient;
- draining the nitric oxide generating solution from the inflatable and nitric oxide permeable balloon;
- mixing a second liquid carrier and a second powder formulation including an S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) powder to form a second nitric oxide generating solution;
- and
- within a predetermined time of the draining and the mixing, introducing the second nitric oxide generating solution into the inflatable and nitric oxide permeable balloon of the urinary catheter that remains inserted in the patient.
