[0008] The process according to the invention is for both genders adults and children, advantageously for women, men and children applicable.
[0009] The dosing device used in the process according to the invention can be used for injection active and / or contrast agents for local treatment or for diagnosis of bladder and / or urethra by using overpressure into the urethra and the bladder through the external urethral orifice.
[0010] Using the adapter and process according to the invention, catheter-free, painless or pain-reduced and leakage-free advantageously bladder filling, bladder rinsing, bladder diagnosis, especially advantageously intravesical (bladder) instillation can be implemented.
[0011] According to the invention by the injection of the active and / or contrast agents into the bladder through the external urethral orifice and urethra by using the adapter and catheter-free process according to the invention, direct local treatment and diagnosis of the urethra can be implemented, which is impossible by using catheter.

[0016] Using the adapter and process according to the invention the agent can be injected safe, catheter- and leakage-free for the above indications, advantageously for local treatments and diagnostic targets.The state of prior art practice and science
[0017] The generally accepted and widespread practice in cases of various diseases of the bladder is direct injection of the solution with curative effect, or solution of drug or mixture of these solutions (so called "bladder cocktails") directly into the bladder generally through a catheter introduced into the urethra. One of the target of the treatment is to reproduce and heal the so called "GAG" (glycosaminoglycan) layer, which is a defending mucous-layer on the surface of the inner wall of the bladder.
[0018] Thus the active ingredients arrive into the bladder in higher concentration than being orally or parenterally administered bypassing the intestinal tract by injection. As only a fraction of the administered dose of drug is absorbed and gets into the circulation in this way the risk of emerging undesirable or even dangerous side effects can also be minimized.
[0019] For the local treatment of the bladder (bladder-instillation) with curative active ingredients or drugs, all accessible special medical literature, professional guidelines as well as textbooks recommend the method with catheter as the only possible method.
[0020] This generally accepted method however has several significant disadvantages: Prior to applying the method with catheter a lubricant gel has to be applied rendering the method more expensive and the process more complicated. In more than half of the cases of interstitial cystitis (bladder pain syndrome) the urethra itself is also involved in the disease and therefore it is hypersensitive for contacting or pressing it and often it can even cause expressed pain, making patients' sexual life intolerable as well as sitting and walking. In such cases applying the catheter in the urethra may cause severe pain resulting in refusal of treatment..
[0021] The straight and relatively inflexible draining catheters straighten the bends of the urethra thereby scraping along one or the other side of the surface of the inner wall of the urethra, causing minimally microscopic superficial mucous membrane lesions but sometimes also major lesions with macroscopic bleeding (urethrorrhagia) can be seen.
[0022] Due to the anatomic differences between the genders, the longer urethra in men with several natural bends is even more frail and during the course of the treatment (lasting 10 to 15 weeks with regular, weekly one catheterization) the repeated iatrogenic lesions at the same points of the urethra may even result urethral stricture caused by scar tissue as tardive complication.
[0023] The drugs administered by catheter remain until the following urination in the bladder because in the moment of pulling out the catheter, the natural muscular closing system of the urethra (internal and external sphincter) closes and therefore no active ingredient gets into the urethra.
[0024] Therefore the task of the invention is to develop a method by which the solution comprising the active ingredient can be injected into the bladder without catheterization of the urethra and at the same time a smaller quantity of drug, but with effective concentration can remain in the urethra. Direct injection into the urethra seemed to be a good solution. However regarding the difference between the internal diameter of the external urethral orifice and the outside diameter of the Luer-lock nozzle, tip of the syringe used for injection, a significant loss of liquid can occur by leakage hindering patients of both genders being such interventions successful.
[0025] The adequate application of the adapter according to the invention provides a solution of these troubles and difficulties.The specification of the adapter according to the invention according to the Figures 1 to 3
[0026] According to the definitions and notations of the Figures 1 to 3, the adapter according to the invention can be described as follows.
[0027] In Figure 1 enclosed to the specification, the 6 adapter according to the invention is presented in three views, namely top-view, side-view and bottom view.
[0028] The side view is presented in two versions: in a basic segment version and in a half view - half segment version.
[0029] The 6 adapter according to the invention has three parts as clearly shown in the side view of Figure 1: the 1 tip-part fitting directly to the urethra through the external urethral orifice, the 2 sealing collar preventing leakage of agent, advantageously liquid injected into the urethra and the 3 cylindrical connecting part , connecting to the 4 appropriate part of the dosing device, advantageously to one of the type of ISO 594 standard Luer Taper tip, either to Luer Slip or to Luer-Lock tip of the syringe by known method, advantageously precisely connected or built on.
[0030] Concerning Luer Slip fitting, the 3 cylindrical connecting part of the adapter is connected by a standard conic tip, concerning Luer Lock fitting, the connection is additionally also fixed by thread or a bayonet lock in case of high pressure injection.
[0031] As in our case low pressure is used, according to the solution of our invention, such a fixation is not needed even concerning Luer Lock fitting, so the 3 cylindrical connecting part can be simply fitted to the Luer Lock tip also by pressing together and held by friction similar to Luer Slip fitting.
[0032] In Figure 2 Luer Slip fitting and in Figure 3 Luer Lock fitting are presented, and is also shown and signed in both Figures, that according to the solution of the invention the external circumference of the 2 sealing collar is 7 knurled to facilitate adjusting and removal to the external urethral orifice by hindering the slipping.
[0033] As clearly shown in all three views of Fig. 1, the 6 adapter according to the invention is provided with a 5 central, longitudinal inner through hole through which the agent, advantageously the liquid gets from the dosing device, advantageously from liquid dosing device, advantageously from syringe, further advantageously from infusion device through the 1 tip part and 3 cylindrical connecting part into the external urethral orifice and then into the urethra. The parts of 5 central, inner through hole of 1 tip-part and of 3 cylindrical connecting part of the 6 adapter according to the invention have advantageously different "c" and "f" diameters.
[0034] An important characteristic of the adapter according to the invention and also presented in top and side view of Fig. 1 is, that the 1 tip-part to be inserted into the orifice of the urethra is rounded off specially, its surface, and edges are softened, thus the inner wall of the urethra would be not injured even if a precise coaxial insertion cannot be achieved.
[0035] The characteristic sizes of the different parts of the adapter according to the invention are signed by small letters in the figures.
[0036] According to the side view of Fig. 1 the "a" length of the 1 tip-part to be inserted into external urethral orifice is advantageously 8 to 12 mm especially advantageously 10 mm to assure safe fitting and its "b" diameter is advantageously 6 mm (18 French) corresponding to an average catheter diameter and can be inserted in the overwhelming majority of cases without difficulty into the urethra.
[0037] As can be seen in the top view of Fig. 1 the advantageous "c" diameter of the 5 central, longitudinal inner through hole of the 1 tip-part to be inserted into the urethra is advantageously 1,8 mm to 3,5 mm, especially advantageously 2,5 mm so that a thick gel-like solution or suspension can be injected with small resistance into the urethra.
[0038] A further characteristic of the invention is, that the edges of the tip of the hole is softened by fine machining.
[0039] The end of the 1 tip-part according to the solution of the invention has a softened shape, so, that no sharp edges causing mucosal lesion should remain. The round-off radius at the 1 tip part's end is no single data, its tolerance is 1mm downwards (smaller) or 2mm upwards (bigger). The round off and softening are also applied outward and inward to the 5 central, inner through hole.
[0040] According to the top view and bottom view of Figure 1, the 2 sealing collar of the adapter according to the invention is a disk. The "d" diameter of the disk is advantageously 12 mm to 20 mm, specially advantageously 15 mm and the "e" thickness of the disk is advantageously 2 mm to 5 mm especially advantageously 3 mm as illustrated in the side view of Figure 1. The disk fits over the roughly round or oval shaped external urethral orifice, and assures perfect sealing without leakage.
[0041] The mucous surfaces close to the external urethral orifice are sensitive even to microscopic lesion, therefore the edges of the disk as a solution by the invention are chamfered to 45° or rounded off in a circle advantageously with 1 mm radius and the remained edges of the disk should also be softened.
[0042] According to the solution of the invention, as shown in the half-segment-half view version of side view in Figure 1 and in Figures 2 and 3, presenting the Luer Tapers, the external circumference of the 2 sealing collar is 7 knurled to facilitate adjusting and removal to the external urethral orifice by hindering the slipping.
[0043] According to the bottom view of Figure 1 and side-view of Figure 1, the 5 central, longitudinal internal hole of 6 adapter is shown as hole of 3 cylindrical connecting part. The "f" inner caliber of the 5 central, inner through hole of 3 cylindrical connecting part is advantageously 3,8 mm to 5,2 mm especially advantageously 4,2 mm and "g" outer diameter is advantageously at least 7 mm, specially advantageously 7 mm which characteristic parameters assure the thickness of wall of cylinder for suitable stability.
[0044] According to the side view of Fig. 1 the "h" length of the 3 cylindrical connecting part is advantageously at least 20 mm, especially advantageously 20 mm, to assure the required visual control for the person performing the treatment so even dosing devices advantageously syringes with larger diameter (with e.g. 50 ml capacity) cannot hide the adapter being inserted into the external urethral orifice.
[0045] The 3 cylindrical connecting part of the 6 adapter according to the invention is connected by known method, advantageously precisely connected, linked, integrated or built to the 4 appropriate part of the dosing device, advantageously to a syringe, especially advantageously to the ISO 594 standard Luer Slip or Luer Lock tip of the syringe, it can be also a part of the dosing device. The advantageous solutions are illustrated in Figures 2 and 3.Detailed specification of the process according to the invention
[0046] The essential of the catheter-free, for both genders, adults and children, advantageously for women, men and children applicable process according to the invention is, that after fitting, connecting or building the adapter according to the invention to the appropriate part of the dosing device advantageously to the ISO 594 standard Luer Slip or Luer-lock tip of syringe by known method, the active and / or contrast agent is injected leakage-free into the urethra and / or into the bladder through the external urethral orifice and the urethra, using overpressure, advantageously low overpressure, especially advantageously maximum pressure of 60 water cm for men, male patients and maximum pressure of 30 water cm for women, female patients
[0047] As an advantageous solution of the invention the active and / or contrast agent is injected, , advantageously slowly injected into the urethra and / or bladder through the external urethral orifice painlessly or by reduced pain, avoiding lesions of urethra, further advantageously injected using gravity pressure, especially advantageously using an infusion device, further advantageously pressing out from balloon or tube, using manual pressure by a method as above, so, that the active agent advantageously active agent with curative effect or drug, further advantageously diagnostic agent comprising contrast agent should remain in appropriate agent concentration of active ingredient or diagnostic agent also in the urethra in its full length.
[0048] The leakage-free, catheter-free process, injection is implemented by a method, that the adapter according to the invention fitted or connected by known method - defined and advantageously defined as above - to the dosing device or built on the dosing device advantageously to the syringe as above, is squeezed to the external urethral orifice, and during injection the leakage, flow is inhibited by the help of the 2 sealing collar of the 6 adapter.
[0049] A primary basic condition of the leakage-free, catheter-free process, injection, is the steady visibility of the adapter as placed in the urethral orifice whereby any leakage or flow can be detected in due time and eliminated by changing the axial direction and / or the force of squeeze. The visibility depends on the "h" size of characteristic length of the 3 cylindrical connection part (Figure 1, side-view), which size should be advantageously at least 20 mm, especially advantageously 20 mm.
[0050] Further condition of the leakage-free, catheter-free process is, that the dosing device, advantageously syringe or infusion device can be used for injection, of active and / or contrast agent advantageously agents defined as above into the bladder through the urethra for local treatment or diagnosis of bladder and / or urethra and also for ensuring of the appropriate overpressure.
[0051] In addition the process according to invention avoids the superficial lesions and bleedings of the urethra or the mucosa covering the surface of urethra and so the process for the patient is non-invasive painless or pain-reduced.
[0052] The prevention, reducing and avoiding the pain of urethra caused by the intervention itself, and reducing the fear of treatment at the same time results a better relaxation, which renders the treatment be better tolerable for the patient because reduced overpressure is needed for the injection of agent.
[0053] Further advantage of the catheter-free, non-invasive, humane, leakage-free process according to the invention is, that the agents listed above advantageously agents with curative effect or drug, further advantageously agent, which can be injected comprising diagnostic agent, advantageously liquid, advantageously solution evolve their effect in the urethra itself also, increasing the efficiency of the therapeutic process or diagnostic usage.
[0054] Based on the above the subject matter of our invention furthermore is a non-invasive, humane, catheter-free process for painless or pain-reduced and leakage-free injection of active and / or contrast agent in liquid, fluid-like, gas or colloid disperse form, advantageously in aerosol, emulsion, gel, foam or suspension form into the urethra or into the urethra and the bladder through the external urethral orifice by using overpressure, advantageously by using manual or gravity pressure in the dosing device, without using catheter.
[0055] During the process according to the invention the 3 connecting part of the 6 adapter is connected by known method to the 4 appropriate part of a dosing device, advantageously of a syringe, further advantageously to an infusion device containing the active and / or contrast agent, advantageously to the ISO 594 standard Luer Slip or Luer-Lock tip of a syringe, then the active and / or contrast agent is injected, advantageously slowly injected, leakage-free into the urethra or into the urethra and the bladder through the 6 adapter, then through the external urethral orifice by inserting the 1 tip-part of the adapter into the external urethral orifice and squeezing the 2 sealing collar of the adapter in a proper way to the external urethral orifice.
[0056] Using this method the therapeutic and diagnostic agents, defined and advantageously defined as above and as further on for the indications and treatments depending on the injected agents, defined and advantageously defined as above and as further on, can be injected painlessly or by pain-reduced into the urethra and / or into the bladder, without using catheter, any lesion, so that the agent, advantageously liquid or gas, or different agents of colloid disperse systems in appropriate concentration of active agent and / or diagnostic agent, advantageously contrast agent should remain also in the urethra in its full length, to evolve there also their therapeutic and diagnostic effect.
[0057] This causes gradually increase of the pressure in the urethra and when reaching a certain pressure (retrograde sphincter opening pressure) the sphincter opens and the agent, advantageously the liquid flows into the bladder. This pressure is about 60 cm water column for men, males, and for women, females the average pressure is 30 cm water column lower. These values can be reduced significantly by injection of, advantageously by slowly injection of the agent, advantageously liquid, advantageously solution with curative effect or drug solution, and so by avoiding pain in the urethra and reducing the fear of the treatment and by deliberate relaxation. Thus steadily low pressure (30 to 40 cm water column) expands the urethra to a significant lover extent causing less discomfort and pain.The applications according to the invention
[0058] The adapter and process according to the invention can be used advantageously for injection of active and / or contrast agents, especially advantageously solution of curative active ingredient or of drug, or of diagnostic agent, advantageously contrast agent into the urethra or into the urethra and the bladder through the external urethral orifice for local treatment of bladder and / or urethra, further advantageously for bladder filling, bladder rinsing, especially advantageously for intravesical (bladder) instillation or further advantageously for diagnosis.
[0059] Furthermore the adapter and process according to the invention can be used advantageously for injection active and / or diagnostic agent advantageously contrast agent in liquid, fluid-like, gas or colloid disperse form especially advantageously in aerosol, emulsion, gel, foam or suspension form into the urethra and / or bladder through the external urethral orifice for local treatment of bladder and / or urethra especially advantageously local treatment of interstitial cystitis, bladder pain syndrome, further especially advantageously with analgesic effect, further especially advantageously for local anesthesia, further especially advantageously for local treatment of low urinary tract symptoms, further especially advantageously for local analgesic after-treatment of patients irradiated for prostate cancer, bladder cancer or pelvis tumor, further especially advantageously for local chemotherapeutical treatment of female patients suffering in bladder cancer.
[0060] Because of the short urethra the injection of active agents for local chemotherapeutical treatment of bladder can be used only in case of female patients. Because of the larger size of the urethra of male patients and the danger of lesion of the urethra this application cannot be used by men.Advantages
[0061] 1. Using the adapter according to the invention by injection of the solution with curative effect or drug solution or diagnostic solution substantially reduces the inconveniences and pain brought about by the treatment. 2. The catheter-free injection, completely prevents larger and / or smaller mucosal lesions and bleedings of the urethra and serious iatrogenic lesions, as e.g. tardive urethral stricture or chronic bacterial urethritis can be prevented. 3. In the course of treatment only the sterile agent, advantageously solution gets into the urethra and into the bladder thus the risk of bacterial infection and of developing low urinary symptoms is reduced. 4. The process is simple, requires less equipment than bladder filling, bladder instillation with catheter, therefore the treatment without catheter is faster and is less expensive at the same time. 5. As the drug solution is injected into the bladder through the urethra therefore drug solution with unchanged concentration - here not diluted by the urine - remains also in the entire length of the urethra until the following urination (for 2 to 3 hours). -Therefore the treatment is more effective, the patients are getting sooner symptom-free and the diagnosis of any urethral irregularity or lesion gets easier. 6. The treatment or diagnosis of urethra is solely by the catheter-free process according to the invention is possible. By a process using a catheter the treatment of urethra is not possible at all. 7. The cost of production of the adapter and therefore its price is significantly lower than the common price of draining catheter plus of the lubricant gel for the insertion of catheter. Therefore the costs of a process without using catheter and also the gel for the catheter are significantly lower than the present practice using the process with catheter.
