Therapeutic Lighted Catheter for Treatment and Prevention of Urethral Stricture Disease, Bladder Neck Stenosis and Anastomotic Contractures
An easy-to-use, minimally-invasive treatment that improves the efficacy of endoscopic treatments by preventing/reducing scar formation.
Background:
Urethral strictures cause around 1,000,000 emergency room visits in the US and nearly as many visits to urologist clinics. Treatments include urethral dilations (mechanical stretching) and endoscopic...

Novel Suturing Device Kit
A surgical "sewing machine" for rapid graft quilting and suturing in challenging spaces. Background: Grafts are commonly employed in urologic reconstructive surgery, but anchoring them in less accessible areas -- as in luminal stenosis surgery -- can be difficult. A novel surgical "sewing machine" capable of quilting and suturing in tight spaces was...

Liquid Tissue Graft
A minimally invasive option for treating urogenital stricture and other wounds using liquid buccal mucosa tissue graft. Background: There is no agreed upon optimal treatment for urogenital stricture disease, which occurs when inflammation or scar tissue narrows the ureter/urethra. Noninvasive options include: 1. using dilators of increasing size or...
