The present invention relates to suction bag (1) for medical or surgical use. The suction bag (1) has a connection (13) for a suction target. The suction bag (1) comprises a bag portion (3) and, fixedly connected thereto, a lid (4). The lid (4) comprises a negative pressure channel (9) for leading negative pressure suction to the suction bag, an installation recess (22) for a filter (10), surrounded with a sleeve (11), and a filter (10) installed in the installation recess (22) in connection with the negative pressure channel (9). The cross section of the sleeve (11) differs in shape from circular so that the outer diameter (d1) of its widest point is at least 0.90%

A lid adapter for coupling with a lid of a collection container where the lid includes an outlet vent. The lid adapter including a housing including a top surface and one or more side panels that are configured to couple with a top of the lid and a port coupled to the top surface and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, wherein when the lid adapter is coupled to the lid and the port is in the first position, a fluid seal is established between a distal end of the port and the top of the lid surrounding the outlet vent thereby enabling fluid flow from the outlet vent and through the port. When the port is in the second position, the fluid seal is not established, and when the port is in the first position, the port is disposed perpendicularly to the top surface.

An apparatus and method for collecting fluid are disclosed. The apparatus includes a body portion comprising a fluid inlet and an outlet, an expandable container secured to the body portion, at least one wicking element extending from within the body portion into the container, and at least one super absorber element arranged inside the container.

Examples of a module for housing unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment for use during surgery. The module can include a lower section and a tower-like upper section. The lower section can house unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment. The tower-like upper section can be located on top of the lower section. A water-resistant cowling can enclose at least a portion of the lower section and the tower-like upper section. A cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be protectively housed within the tower-like upper section. The cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be configured to emerge upward from a top of the tower-like upper section to substantially seat itself on the top of the tower-like upper section when activated allowing the ultraviolet-C light to disinfect the patient and staff-contacting upper surfaces of the equipment in the operating room.

A system and method for performing tissue therapy may include applying a reduced pressure to a tissue site, sensing a fluid parameter being applied to the tissue site, generating a fluid sensor signal in response to sensing the fluid parameter, and altering the fluid sensor signal in response to sensing that the fluid parameter changes. A fluid leak location mode may be entered. In response to the fluid leak location mode being entered, a graphical user interface that provides for fluid leak location functionality may be displayed. In one embodiment, the fluid leak location mode may be automatically entered in response to the sensor signal crossing a threshold value. Additionally, an alarm signal may be generated in response to determining that the fluid sensor signal crosses the threshold value.

An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck with a rim defining an opening; a cap assembly supported on the bottle, the cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being insertable within the interior of the bottle and the second portion engaging a portion of the bottle to support the funnel above the rim, the funnel defining a bore that fluidly communicates with the hollow interior of the bottle; a self-sealing membrane that covers the bore formed by the funnel to selectively seal the hollow interior of the bottle; a cap attachable to the bottle, the cap including a cover portion that extends at least partially over the self-sealing membrane to restrain movement thereof, the cover portion being axially spaced from the self-sealing membrane to define a gap that permits axial movement of the self-sealing membrane to selectively open the bottle to fluid communication outside of the bottle.

A device configured to mechanically remove a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue includes a first pressing element and a second pressing element. Furthermore, a method for preparing a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, comprises mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue. In addition, there is provided a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, wherein the fat-depleted adipose tissue is prepared by mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue.

A cap assembly including a self-sealing membrane that overlaps an opening to an interior of a container. The cap assembly further includes a cap having a cover portion that includes an annular wall that defines a central opening, and at least one evacuating opening located radially outward of the central opening. The cover portion defines a gap above the self-sealing membrane. The gap is configured to allow the self-sealing membrane to be at least partially displaced from the opening to allow fluid communication between the interior of the container and an outside atmosphere when a suction is applied to the cap.
