Medical device for providing port-like access to a mammalian urinary system and methods of inserting and utilizing the same

A medical device comprising:

• a continuous hollow tube, the length sized for spanning the distance between an exterior surface of a mammals skin and the mammal's pelvis of the kidney having a diameter between 10 french and 40 french, the hollow tube having an open proximal end and an open distal end;
• a first cap having a top surface and bottom surface that is operatively configured for securely attaching to the proximal end of the tube, the cap covering the open proximal end of the tube when securely attached to the proximal end of the tube, the bottom surface of the cap being recessed within the proximal end of the tube upon secure attachment;
• a hollow flexible stem fluidly connecting the cap and the proximal end of the hollow tube so that liquid may pass into the bottom surface of the cap, through the hollow flexible stem and into a separate channel within the hollow tube, the fluidly separate channel running from the proximal end of the hollow tube toward the distal end of the hollow tube, and the hollow flexible stem being permanently attached to the hollow tube below the open proximal end of the hollow tube;
• and
• an inflation port on the bottom surface of the cap, the inflation port being operatively configured to receive liquid via a syringe so when the cap is not securely attached to the proximal end of the tube liquid may be injected via the inflation port and travel from the cap, through the hollow flexible stem and down the separate channel within the hollow tube.

A universal connector comprising:

• a continuous hollow funnel shape having a larger opening at a first end and a smaller opening at a second end;
• an engagement apparatus adjacent to the second end;
• and
• protrusions operatively attached to the engagement apparatus so that when the second end of the universal connector is placed into a proximal end of a medical device the protrusions on the engagement apparatus can operatively engage with a locking mechanism on the proximal end of the medical device to permit fluid communication between the universal connector and the medical device.
