An assembly structured for concurrent irrigation and aspiration of a nasal cavity including a housing having a supply container disposed therein for the removable retention of irrigating fluid. A nasal applicator comprises first and second passages respectfully structured to deliver irrigating fluid to the nasal cavity and concurrently remove waste fluid therefrom. An activating assembly includes a plunger biased into a continuous pressure applying, dispensing relation to the irrigating fluid and a valve assembly is selectively disposable into an open position facilitating fluid communication between the supply container and the applicator for the delivery of the irrigating fluid therethrough into the nasal cavity. The activating assembly is further structured to create a negative pressure within the chamber which communicates with the second passage of the applicator to facilitate delivery of the waste fluid therefrom along a path of travel to an interior of the chamber.

A medical device for the treatment and irrigation of a sinus opening is described. The device allows for single-handed operation to access, dilate and irrigate a sinus opening. The device includes a sinus guide catheter, a guiding element, a balloon dilation catheter, a balloon catheter movement mechanism and a guiding element movement mechanism. A method for treating a sinus opening and irrigating a sinus is also described.

A system for irrigating a patient's skin. The system includes a fluid container that includes a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment being adapted to retain a first fluid on a first side of a divider and the second compartment being adapted to retain a second fluid on a second side of the divider. The system also includes an irrigation sleeve adapted cover a portion of the patient's skin. The system also includes a fluid charging portion adapted to receive a portion of the first fluid and a portion of the second fluid, wherein the portion of the first fluid reacts with the portion of the second fluid to form a charged compound in the fluid charging portion. The system also includes a compound delivery portion that extends at a first end of the compound delivery portion from the fluid charging portion, the compound delivery portion being adapted to deliver the charged compound from the fluid charging portion to the irrigation sleeve.

The invention relates to a combination drug with increased storage stability containing chondroitin sulfate (4.5 mg/ml), hyaluronic acid (16 mg/ml), a phosphate buffer (pH 6.1 to 7.9) and an electrolyte (e.g., an alkali salt, e.g., sodium chloride) for the treatment inflammations of the urogenital tract, in particular of the bladder, in particular for the treating cystitis, and to an instillation kit containing said drug.

An all-in-one, sterile, waste- and mess-free device for cleaning two-sided bodily punctures is described. The device may be a hand-held device that encloses around both sides of a two-sided bodily puncture and provides targeted cleaning fluid soaking, fully or partially submerged, without the user ever needing to touch or disturb jewelry in the two-sided bodily puncture. Cleaning fluid soaking involves cleaning fluid, without elevated pressure, soakingly contacting a two-sided bodily puncture to: (1) kill microorganisms in the area surrounding the two-sided bodily puncture (e.g., skin surrounding openings of the two-sided bodily puncture); and/or (2) remove cellular debris and/or microorganisms from the area surrounding the two-sided bodily puncture.

The invention relates to a flexible application aid for the treatment of wounds. The application aid can be used in particular for the debridement and/or cleansing of wounds, including the skin surrounding the wound. The application aid according to the invention including a flexible or elastically deformable application wand, facilitates debridement of superficial to deep wounds without the risk of injury to the wound.

A fluid collection device includes an upper edge portion having a first end of a collection container having an outer surface where the upper edge portion defines an open top end. At least one fastening device may be attached to the outer surface of the collection container. A vacuum hose coupled to an outlet port extends from a second end of the collection container. A vacuum source applies a vacuum to the collection container through the vacuum hose.
