Abstract
An apparatus for irrigating the vas deferens in connection with a vasectomy reversal is described. The apparatus comprises a fluid delivery device having a first portion that connects to the vas deferens, the fluid delivery device connecting such that a catheter tip inserts into the vas deferens and is held in stable position relative thereto and such that fluid enters the vas deferens through the catheter tip.
Claims20
An apparatus for irrigating a vas deferens in connection with a vasectomy reversal, the apparatus comprising:
- a fluid delivery device having a first portion that connects to the vas deferens, said fluid delivery device connecting such that a catheter tip inserts into the vas deferens and is held in stable position relative thereto and such that fluid enters the vas deferens through said catheter tip.
The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said first arm and said second arm are connected so as to resiliently bias said first interactive tip and said second interactive tip towards one another.
An apparatus for irrigating a vas deferens in connection with a vasectomy reversal, comprising:
- a catheter assembly, wherein said catheter assembly further comprises a catheter tip suitable for insertion into the vas deferens;
- a clamp configured to clasp around the vas deferens when said catheter tip is inserted into the vas deferens;
- a stabilization bar, wherein said stabilization bar is connected to said catheter assembly and said clamp so as to hold said clamp in position to clasp the vas deferens when said catheter tip is inserted into the vas deferens.
An apparatus for irrigating a vas deferens having an obstruction in connection with a vasectomy reversal, the apparatus comprising:
- a catheter assembly having a first end suitable for connection to a fluid reservoir and terminating at a second end in a catheter tip suitable for insertion into a vas deferens;
- a clamp having a first interactive tip and a second interactive tip where said tips interact to secure said catheter in the vas deferens during breaking up of the obstruction;
- a stabilizing bar connected to said clamp and said catheter assembly such that said clamp and catheter assembly are held in stable position relative to each other.
