The invention relates to a device for separation of fluidal biological material components, particularly separation of components of the material collected by liposuction for subsequent transfer of the adipose tissue in an injection form. The device comprises a container with an outlet duct arranged in it, the outlet duct having its upper end adapted for collecting the material, and its lower end that is in fluid communication with the inner space of the container at its bottom. Further, the invention relates to a separating float for separation of the fluidal biological material components, the float being intended to be used in the device, wherein the float comprises at least one by-pass opening for passage of the fluidal biological material contained in the container from the area below the separating float into the area above it. The invention also relates to a kit including the device and the float.

Preparation of a product comprising stromal vascular fraction cells includes washing human biological material comprising adipose in a container apparatus having an internal filter, which divides an internal containment volume of the container apparatus into a tissue retention volume on one side of the filter and a filtrate volume on an opposite side of the filter, and a mixing device with at least one rotatable mixing member disposed in the tissue retention volume. The washing includes operation of the mixing device to rotate the mixing member through the human biological material within the tissue retention volume, and the washing is followed by digesting washed material within the internal containment volume with added enzyme, centrifuging of the container apparatus to prepare a centrifuged pellet in the filtrate volume, selectively removing material of the pellet and preparing a product with a mixture of stromal vascular fraction cells of removed pellet material and an aqueous suspension liquid.

Disclosed is a system for the collection, processing and reuse of amniotic fluid and placental aspirate at a C-section site. The system includes a canister positioned along the vacuum line through which the amniotic fluid and placental aspirate is suctioned. The canister has a coil whereby the heavier cellular components, including stem cells, platelets and growth factors, are separated coincident with the surgical procedure. The canister has a port whereby the heavier cellular material can be removed from the canister. The heavier cellular material can be then applied to the wound site of the cesarean section patient. The system disclosed allows for the processing of the amniotic fluid and placental aspirate to take place in the same room as the surgical procedure. A kit and method are also provided.

The present invention relates to a device (10) for emptying a canister (12) with a nozzle (14) with a first opening (16), comprising an adapter (18) to be at least partially arranged inside the nozzle (14), in particular inside the first opening (16), a connector (34) connectable to the adapter (18) for connecting a suction machine to the adapter (18), and a reclosable fitment (36) comprising a first fitment part (38) and a second fitment part (40), wherein the first fitment part (36) is arranged on the adapter (18) and the second fitment (40) part is arranged on the connector (34). Thus, the safety of handling an emptied canister (12) with a residue fluid may be increased.

A waste collection unit including a waste container, and vacuum source to collect medical waste into the waste container. The vacuum source is disposed within a sound attenuating enclosure that defines an enclosure inlet for receiving cooling air and an enclosure outlet for discharging warmed cooling air. The sound attenuating enclosure is at least partially formed of a sound-absorbing material and may define a pocket for receiving a first end of the vacuum source. The first end of the vacuum source may engage a seat of the sound attenuating enclosure to provide a cooling air barrier. The seat may define a bottom portion of the pocket. Internal geometries of the sound attenuating enclosure may be shaped to define another air path that does not pass through the vacuum source. A plenum may be attached to the sound attenuating enclosure and define a plenum chamber to collect the warmed cooling air.

A snivel suction apparatus includes a suction mechanism and an air extraction mechanism. The air extraction mechanism is connected to the suction mechanism. The air extraction mechanism includes a pump, a piston, a communicating tube, a first check valve and a second check valve. The piston is arranged on the pump. One side of the communicating tube is connected to the pump. The other side of the communicating tube is connected to the suction mechanism. The first check valve is arranged in the pump and at one side of the communicating tube. The second check valve is arranged on the pump.

A medical waste management system including a boom secured to a fixed structure of a medical facility. A waste container defines a waste volume sized to collect liquid waste material received through a suction line under the influence of a vacuum provided by a vacuum pump. The system may include a service head coupled to the boom and including the waste container. A vacuum port is in fluid communication with the waste volume, and discharge and/or cleaning ports also in communication with the waste volume may be provided. The vacuum pump may be integrated with the medical facility, and the system may include an offload pump Integrated with the medical facility and in communication with the discharge port. The waste container may be supported on a mobile cart configured to be removably coupled with the boom. The system may further include a liquid measuring system coupled to the waste container.

A drainage system includes a vacuum chamber to receive drainage liquid from a drainage tube. The chamber can include an input port coupled with the drainage tube and a drain port coupled with a collection container. The system can include an air pump having an input coupled with a vacuum port of the vacuum chamber and a distal end of the drainage tube. Activation of the air pump can establish circulating fluid flow between the drainage tube and the vacuum chamber, and deactivation of the air pump can permit drainage liquid to drain from the vacuum chamber into the output tube. Also disclosed is a method of draining liquid from a patient, including accumulating a volume of the drainage liquid at a first location along a drainage pathway, moving the volume to a second location, accumulating the volume at the second location, and moving the volume to a collection container.

The invention relates to an accessory part to be used in connection with cleaning a suction bag emptying device (13), the accessory part comprising a lid (25) for closing a container (15) in the emptying device (13), and a capsule containing agent to be used for cleaning the emptying device (13) in connection with the lid (25). The invention further relates to a suction bag emptying device (13).

The present invention is related to a medical aspirator and, in particular, to a medical aspirator comprising: a floor plate; a pressure plate disposed a certain distance away from the floor plate, and defining a discharge hole opened and closed by an opening/closing means; a coil spring installed between the floor plate and the pressure plate; a sealing membrane connecting the edges of the floor plate and the pressure plate, and defining a receiving space capable of receiving bodily fluid between the floor plate and the pressure plate; and a drainage tube connected to the pressure plate, for guiding bodily fluid generated from the body to the receiving space, and including a check valve therein enabling the fluid to flow only in the direction from the body toward the receiving space, wherein the medical aspirator has the effect of preventing contamination from outside air of bodily fluid extracted from the body and stored in the receiving space.
