Claims53
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first connector, wherein said first connector includes:
- i) a first tubular portion telescopingly engaged to a second tubular portion, said first tubular portion transitions from an extended condition toward a retracted condition;
- and
- ii) a vent element disposed in fixed relation to said second tubular portion, said vent element transitions between a vent closed condition which engages said first tubular portion in said extended condition and a vent open condition disengaged from said first tubular portion in said retracted condition.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a tubular body including:
- i) a first end section adapted to dispose in a rectal vault;
- and
- ii) a second end section including a first connector, said tubular body having an internal surface defining a tubular body lumen;
- and
- an antimicrobial layer coupled to said tubular body internal surface or said tubular body external surface, wherein said antimicrobial layer includes amount of antimicrobial agent of about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of said antimicrobial layer.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a tubular body including:
- i) a first end section adapted to dispose in a rectal vault;
- and
- ii) a second end section including a first connector, said tubular body internal surface defining a tubular body lumen;
- and
- an occlusion balloon disposed within said tubular body lumen, said occlusion balloon transitions between a deflated condition which affords an open tubular body lumen and an expanded condition which occludes said tubular body lumen.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a tubular body;
- a first end section adapted to dispose in a rectal vault;
- a second end section including a first connector;
- a collection container including a second connector which mateably engages said first connector,
- wherein said first connector includes a first tubular portion which insertingly engages within a tubular member of said second connector;
- and
- a seal element coupled to an internal surface of said tubular member of said second connector, wherein said first tubular portion inserted into said tubular member contacts said seal element which transitions toward a seal open condition, and wherein removal of said first tubular portion from said tubular member allows said seal element to transition from said open condition toward said seal closed condition.
