The retention balloon of the Foley urinary drainage catheter is replaced by a new self-retaining system. This new self-retaining catheter eliminates the problem of residual urine and also of bladder wall irritation caused by continuous contact with a spherical retention balloon; it also does not rely on a stylet for placement. The new system may use an internal control wire that reversibly foreshortens the proximal end of the catheter thus radially displacing longitudinal strips defined in the proximal catheter to form retention wings. Alternatively, a balloon situated between the longitudinal strips is inflated to force open the retention wings once inside the urinary bladder. Radial displacement of the retention wings widens the spaces between the longitudinal strips, these spaces constituting the drainage apertures which permit complete emptying of the urinary bladder, thereby eliminating a source of bladder irritation. The radially displaced retention wings abut the bladder wall in a non-continuous manner thereby reducing the area of bladder-catheter contact and further reducing bladder wall irritation.

A bearing support system for a piston and its connecting rod in which the bearing system supports the combined piston and connecting rod by only two bearings, a gas bearing at the power piston (or displacer) and a radially acting spring bearing at its connecting rod. The spacing between them meets prescribed relationships and preferably exceeds a calculated value based upon chosen engineering parameters. A non-compliant connecting rod is fixed to an end of a piston which has a clearance seal length in the range of 0.3 times the diameter of the piston and 1.5 times the diameter of the piston. The distance from the gas bearing to the effective point of connection of the radially acting spring bearing to the connecting rod is greater than the seal length of the piston. The allowable off-center distance A for the radial displacement of the fixed connection of the radially acting spring bearing to the connecting rod is considerably greater than the diametrical clearance gap g which illustrates the reduction in the required precision for adjusting the position of the radially acting spring bearing. The piston and connecting rod unit is not supported by additional bearings that introduce additional alignment problems.
