The fluid containment device may be optionally provided.

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.

An autonomous medical waste collection assembly comprises a base adapted to be positioned near a patient. At least one wheel is powered to move the base along a floor surface. A waste collection unit is coupled to the base for receiving medical waste from the patient. The waste collection unit includes a canister for holding the medical waste. A controller is operable to initiate a waste disposal protocol. The waste disposal protocol includes transmitting a movement signal to the powered wheel for automatically moving the autonomous medical waste collection assembly away from the patient to a disposal station. A user input device is in communication with the controller. The user input device is adapted to provide a user input signal in response to being actuated by a user. The controller is configured to initiate the waste disposal protocol in response to receiving the user input signal.

A medical syringe with at least three ports, in conjunction with a urinary catheter, can be used for closed manual irrigation of a bladder. The three syringe ports are located on a port body. Each of the three syringe ports can be manually selected by rotating a barrel that has a closed end located inside the cup-shaped port body. Rotation of the barrel inside the port body occurs about an axis that is aligned with the central axis of the hollow cylindrical barrel. The system is configured to selectively fill the syringe with an input fluid, irrigate the bladder by passing fluid into and out of the urinary catheter, and drain bladder contents into a drainage vessel without ever needing to remove the syringe from the catheter.

A manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection assembly. The manifold includes a housing shaped to be removably received within a manifold receiver of the medical/surgical waste collection assembly. An inlet fitting is coupled to the housing and adapted to be coupled with a suction line. An outlet opening is in fluid communication with the inlet fitting to define a fluid communication path from the suction line to the outlet opening and through a filter. The manifold includes a data carrier storing data useable to regulate operation of the medical/surgical waste collection assembly. The data carrier may include a radiofrequency identification tag having memory storing data suitable for determining whether the manifold is usable with the medical/surgical waste collection assembly. The RFID tag is adapted to be in electronic communication with a data reader when the manifold is coupled with the manifold receiver for communicating the data from the manifold.

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).

A removable manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection system. The manifold is dimensioned to be mounted to a receiver integral with the system. The manifold includes at least one tube through which waste is drawn into a manifold cage. The tube extends through an inlet port into a void space internal to the manifold cage at an angle. The tube exits the manifold cage and centered along an axis that is off center to the longitudinal axis of the manifold cage where it engages a complementary valve internal to the receiver. The valve regulates flow between the receiver and the down line components of the waste collection system. The valve is normally closed. When the manifold is fitted to the receiver the tube engages the valve and rotation of the manifold moves the valve to the open position allowing fluid flow from the manifold and receiver to the downstream components of the system.

A canister lid (100) for a canister (500) includes an annular perimeter (101) surrounding an interior portion (102). Rather than completely surrounding the interior portion, the annular perimeter is instead interrupted by a suction conduit (103) defined by a suction duct (104) separating a first lobe (105) and a second lobe (106). The suction duct (104) intersects the annular perimeter such that the first lobe is disposed interior of the annular perimeter while the second lobe is disposed exterior to the annular perimeter. The canister lid can further include one or more ports (110,111) extending from the interior portion.

The present disclosure provides devices and methods for processing and harvesting adipose tissue. The present disclosure provides improved devices, systems, and methods for harvesting, processing, and filtering adipose tissue for autologous fat transfer procedures. The features of the devices and systems of the present disclosure increase efficiency and sterility of adipose tissue processing by reducing the need for users to interrupt the procedure to adjust some part of the system, such as unclogging filter pores or adjusting tubing.

A device that helps clear a fluid or other material lodged in a person's throat has a barrel with an open proximal end and an opening laden distal end. A plunger is slidably disposed within the barrel such that the plunger, by being manually drawn outwardly, creates suction within the barrel drawing air through the opening. A single or multi-section tube, flexible on at least its distal end, is fluid flow connected to the opening and has a face mask along its length. The distal end of the tube is intubated with a person proximate the fluid or other material so that as the plunger is drawn outwardly through the barrel, the suction created within the barrel causes air to be drawing in through the tube and into the barrel thereby helping draw out and dislodge the fluid or other material. A backflow valve located on the barrel helps clear the barrel of such things as vomit that might have been drawn into the barrel.
