A treatment system for debriding a treatment area of a tissue site and applying negative pressure is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include an ultrasonic bubble generator fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source, fluid source, and a dressing. Fluid may be drawn from the fluid source to the ultrasonic bubble generator, whereby micro-bubbles and ultrasonic waves may be generated in the fluid before the fluid is instilled to the dressing.

A method and apparatus that reduces the time and trauma associated with tissue removal procedures such as Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction, which emulsifies and then extracts unwanted adipose from a patient's target zone. Emulsification and suction are optimized and performed in a synchronous manner by a single apparatus to improve the outcome and minimize, if not eliminate, the limitations, risks and complications caused by current state of the art techniques.

In some embodiments, a catheter device may include a catheter including a proximal end and a distal end. The catheter device may further include a connector coupled to the proximal end of the catheter. The connector may include a base having a recess configured to receive the distal end of the catheter and may include a hinged portion configured to couple to the base to clamp the catheter within the recess.

A wound therapy system includes an instillation fluid canister configured to contain an instillation fluid, a pump fluidly coupled to the instillation fluid canister and operable to deliver the instillation fluid from the instillation fluid canister to a wound, a user interface configured to receive user input indicating one or more geometric attributes of the wound, and a controller electronically coupled to the pump and the user interface. The controller is configured to determine a volume of the wound based on the user input, determine a volume of the instillation fluid to deliver to the wound based on the volume of the wound, and operate the pump to deliver the determined volume of the instillation fluid to the wound.

A cannula apparatus (100) and method are provided for selective fluid flow in removal and return directions. An outer sheath (102) has proximal (104) and distal (106) outer sheath ends spaced apart by a longitudinal outer sheath body (108) defining an outer sheath lumen (110). At least one fluid removal aperture (112) extends through the outer sheath body. The outer sheath includes a side access aperture (114). An introducer (1534) has proximal (1536) and distal (1538) introducer ends spaced apart by a longitudinal introducer body (1540), which at least partially defines a guidewire channel (1542) longitudinally therealong. The introducer is configured for insertion into the outer sheath lumen with the guidewire channel in fluid communication with the side access aperture. An inner tube (218) has proximal (220) and distal (222) inner tube ends. At least one fluid return aperture (228) is located at least one of at and adjacent the distal inner tube end to place an inner tube lumen in fluid communication with an ambient space.

A catheter includes a tubular body to be inserted into a living body. The tubular body has a lumen that is held in fluid communication with an injection port defined in a distal end of the tubular body and a suction port near a proximal end of the tubular body, and the suction port is closed when the injection port is open, and the injection port is closed when the suction port is open.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for irrigating a tissue site are described. The system can include a tissue interface and a sealing member configured to be placed over the tissue site to form a sealed space, and a negative-pressure source fluidly coupled to the sealed space. The system includes an irrigation valve having a housing, a piston disposed in the housing, a fluid inlet to fluidly couple a fluid inlet chamber to a fluid source, and a fluid outlet to fluidly couple a fluid outlet chamber to the sealed space. A piston passage extends through the piston and fluidly couples the fluid inlet chamber and the fluid outlet chamber, and a biasing member is coupled to the piston to bias the irrigation valve to a closed position. The negative-pressure source is configured to move the piston between the closed position and an open position to draw fluid to the sealed space.

Systems and methods for nasal irrigation are provided in which a nasal irrigation device includes a source of saline solution, an effluent receptacle, a nasal interface, a vacuum source, a fluid passageway to communicate the source of saline solution with the effluent receptacle through the nasal interface and a nasal cavity of a user, and a switch and valve assembly for selectively controlling the vacuum source and flow of the saline solution through the fluid passageway. The source of saline solution is disposed relative to the device to provide gravitational inducement of the saline solution to the nasal interface in engagement to the device user's nostrils. A combination of the gravitational inducement and a relative vacuum from the effluent receptacle generates a fluid flow for irrigating, cleansing and massaging the nasal cavity and ostia of the user. The entire device is assembled as a hand-held device for convenient lifting and disposal against the user's nostrils.

An apparatus for treating a tissue site includes a dressing, an oxygen source, a valve, and a negative-pressure source. The dressing is configured to be sealed around the tissue site. The oxygen source is fluidly coupled to the dressing and configured to provide a low flow of oxygen. A first port of the valve is fluidly coupled to the dressing and the valve moves between a closed position preventing flow through the valve and an open position permitting flow through the valve. The negative-pressure source is fluidly coupled to a second port of the valve and provides negative pressure to the second port of the valve at a non-therapeutic level. The valve separates the negative-pressure source from the dressing and selectively opens when a positive pressure is applied on an upstream side of the valve.

A flow controllable type suction and irrigation device includes: a handle having an installation space therein; a cannula provided with a conductive tube and an insulating protective tube, the conductive tube extending in a forward direction of the handle to be inserted into the abdominal cavity of a patient and being coupled to an electrode for surgery, the insulating protective tube being disposed to surround the conductive tube; and a suction supply unit provided to the handle and supplying an irrigation fluid to the cannula or suctioning blood or contaminants from the abdominal cavity of the patient through the cannula.
