Irrigation device and system for delivering pressurized fluid to same for wound lavage and biofilm control
A medical device is provided for irrigation of a patient wound site. The device contains a tube having a proximal portion adapted to receive an irrigation solution, a distal portion having a nozzle and an intermediate portion for transporting the solution. The tube has a barrel portion that may be manipulated by a user to position the device relative to the wound site. A distinctive nozzle has a body formed with a distally leading channel presenting a semispherical first spatial conformation and a proximally leading opening formed in the body presenting a second spatial conformation intersecting the semispherical terminus. This geometry, derived from principles of flow mechanics discussed herein, defines what will be described as an “effective diameter” of the nozzle. An assembly and system utilizing the device are also disclosed. The invention utilizes a fluid-isolating durable peristaltic pump for a continuous flow of irrigation solution, along with a single use tube set that embodies the device.
Paddle shaped medicinal dispenser
Certain embodiments of a medicinal applicator can comprise a base, a medicinal cream receiving port in the base, and a shaft extending along a conceptual shaft axis from the base and terminating at an applicator tip. There is at least one exit aperture located along a portion of the shaft. An unobstructed pathway is in communication with the receiving port and the exit aperture. A stop plate that extends essentially radially from the base delineating the base from the shaft. The shaft possesses a shaft outer shape defined by a shaped leading and trailing edge defining a narrow diameter proximal zone that extends along the shaft from the stop plate to a gradually increasing diameter transition zone that extends to a large diameter paddle zone, which terminates into a shaft distal end.
EAR IRRIGATING DEVICE
A device including a water reservoir, in which water reservoir is configured to be operable for storing water. A head portion, in which the head portion contains an ear irrigation tip, a top tubing that is configured to be operable for directing water from the water reservoir to the ear irrigation tip, a wash basin, wherein the wash basin is operable for catching water coming out of the ear irrigation tip, and a splash disk, wherein the splash disk is configured to be operable for redirecting the water and/or debris into the water basin. A main body, in which the main body contains a control interface, wherein the control interface is configured to change a flow rate of the water being pumped out of the ear irrigation tip.
An anal irrigation system and related methods for maintaining
An anal irrigation system and a method for maintenance of an anal irrigation system comprising a tube assembly is disclosed, the method comprising a container and a tube assembly, the method comprising: providing instructions instructing a user to arrange a distal end of the tube assembly in the container for forming a liquid path and to fill liquid into the container; detecting liquid in the container; initiating a disinfection procedure, the disinfection procedure comprises; circulating the liquid in the liquid path for one or more cycles, the one or more cycles comprise one or more liquid circulations; providing instructions instructing the user to discharge liquid from the liquid path.
A SELF-RETAINING ENEMA NOZZLE AND AN ENEMA SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID ENEMA NOZZLE
The present invention relates to a self-retaining enema nozzle (1,1′,1″,1′″) and an enema system (34) comprising said enema nozzle. The enema nozzle (1,1′,1″,1′″) comprises a catheter (2) provided with a retention member (3) arranged for being placed in a compact form during insertion in a body cavity and for being placed in an expanded form for retaining the enema nozzle in said body cavity, and wherein the enema nozzle (1,1′,1″,1′″) further comprises a restriction unit (4) arranged for placing the retention member (3) in its compact form. Since the restriction unit (4) holds, e.g. keeps, places and/or maintains the retention member (3) in the compact form both before and during insertion, any discomfort and/or harm that may be experienced using the conventional enema nozzles/devices is effectively prevented.
Attachment For a Device for Delivering Fluid into an Ear Canal
An attachment for a device for generating an airflow or for dispensing a fluid, which attachment is adapted to be inserted at least in sections into an external ear canal of a human or animal ear. The attachment has a connecting piece for connecting the attachment to the device for generating an airflow, and has a guide vane of tongue-like design with a guide vane base for guiding air flowing out of the device for generating an airflow via the connecting piece.
Anesthetized Catheter, Indication System and Methods of Administering, Removing and Testing Substances
An anesthetized catheter that includes the ability to administer substances and remove substances via the catheter orifice as well as pericatheter with the option of using wireless technology, while also having an indication system.
Enema device and a method of refilling said device with an enema
The present invention relates to an enema device (1;1′) comprising a delivery container (2) and an applicator nozzle (3), and wherein said delivery container (2) comprises two cavities (6,8;6′,8′), an outer cavity (6;6′) defined by an squeezable external body (7;7′), and an inner cavity (8;8′) defined by an inner flexible bladder (9;9′), and wherein one of said cavities (6;8′) is communicating with an outlet (10) for dispersing the enema though the applicator nozzle (3) and the other cavity (8;6′) is communicating with the surroundings via an air inlet (12). Thereby is provided a simple, inexpensive and essentially maintenance free enema device (1;1′) which can be used for self-administrating of an enema. The device (1;1′) will not only effectively prevent air from being mixed with the enema, but also ensure that the user easily can expel the enema, as the device (1;1′) will be perceived as full of enema at all times.
Sheath for an endoscope
A sheath includes a sheath body, an inflow port at a proximal end of the sheath body, an outflow port at the proximal end of the sheath body, and a plurality of radially expandable flexible members which extend along a length of the sheath body. The plurality of radially expandable flexible members are attached to the sheath body at a plurality of anchor points along the length of the sheath body. The plurality of radially expandable flexible members expand during active fluid inflow. The radially expandable flexible members are spaced apart along the sheath body to define one or more isolated spaces that extend between adjacent radially expandable flexible members when the radially expandable flexible members are inflated within a body passage.
Angular cap for dispensing liquids
A cap and container assembly is disclosed which may be used for human body cavity irrigation or other liquid dispensing activities. The cap may include a first channel extending from a base through a neck portion to an opening in a tip portion of the cap. A side body defining a second channel may extend from the first channel near the neck portion of the cap to an opening at a distal end of the side body. An axial dimension of the tip portion may extend at an angle relative to an axial dimension of the neck portion. Liquid may flow out of the first channel under the influence of gravity and as a result of control of air flow into the second channel.
