Intermittent Intravesical Therapeutic Administration System
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260091195A1 for an intermittent intravesical catheter system featuring a dual-lumen design with urinary and instillation lumens, drainage and instillation eyelets, and a slidable sheath for switching between drainage and therapeutic instillation modes. Inventors: Howard Shapland, Scott Glickman, Gabriel Korn. Application No. 19289334.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260091195A1 on April 2, 2026, covering an intravesical therapeutic catheter with a tube containing separate urinary and instillation lumens, proximal drainage eyelets communicating with the urinary lumen, and instillation eyelets at the tip communicating with the instillation lumen. The device includes a slidable sheath that covers drainage eyelets in one axial position (enabling instillation from a syringe through the instillation connector and lumen) and exposes them in another position (enabling urine drainage to a collection bag).
This is a patent application publication notice, not a regulatory requirement. Medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers reviewing this publication should note the dual-lumen catheter design for potential intellectual property considerations, but no immediate compliance action or regulatory deadline is triggered by this publication.

Abstract
An intravesical intermittent instillation catheter includes a tube containing a urinary lumen and an instillation lumen. The proximal end has a set of drainage eyelets, formed in a wall of the tube, that are in communication with the urinary lumen as well as a set of instillation eyelets, formed at a tip of the proximal end, in communication with the instillation lumen. A sheath is slidably mounted to surround the tube and having first and second axial positions wherein, in the first position, the drainage eyelets are exposed and, in the second position, the drainage eyelets are covered by the proximal end of the sheath. In operation of the catheter, when the sheath is in the first position, drainage of urine can proceed through a path including the drainage eyelets, the urinary lumen, a drainage connector, and a urinary collection bag and, when the sheath is in the second position, instillation of the medicament can thereafter proceed from a syringe, through an instillation connector, the instillation lumen, and the instillation eyelets and into the bladder.
