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.

Systems, devices, and methods related to wound therapy are disclosed. Different aspects of wound care, including mechanical wound therapy, wound monitoring, irrigation, debridement, and delivery of therapies to the wound surface can be combined to improve effectiveness of treatment. The disclosed techniques can provide various type of clinical applications of wound therapies, including reverse pulse lavage, gas therapy, bacterial count measurements, pressure-based ulcer prevention, pain management, peritoneal dialysis, and controlled tissue in-growth, among others. In some instances, the systems described herein can be made portable and operable without the use of electricity, which provides potential to provide mechanical wound therapy in settings without access to extensive clinical facilities.

A nebulizer for medicament is provided. The nebulizer includes a cup having an interior surface. An axle is attached to the cup at least at a location along a central axis of the cup such that rotation of the axle causes a rotation of the cup about the central axis. A fan is operably attached to the axle and configured to generate a flow of air adjacent to the cup. A drum is disposed around a circumference of the cup, and configured to contain the generated flow of air near the cup. A conduit is configured to receive liquid medicament and deposit such medicament on a surface of the cup.

In some illustrative examples, a bridge suitable for treating a tissue site may include a bridge sealing member and one or more bridge wicking layers. The bridge sealing member may extend along a length of the bridge, and may define an internal passageway in fluid communication between a receiving end of the bridge and a transmitting end of the bridge. The one or more bridge wicking layers may be disposed within the internal passageway of the bridge sealing member. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

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.

Apparatus and methods for providing controlled pressure-flow pulses which purge a catheter system with turbulent flow flushing. Accomplishment of such controlled pressure-flow pulses is provided by a variety of inventive devices including a special plunger rod for a conventional syringe, other interactive parts for conventional syringes, an in-line catheter attachable device which automatically generates the controlled pressure-flow pulses and also single pulse, digitally operated devices.

A method for producing a cartridge is proposed, where a fluid is filled into an opening of a container and a closure part is inserted into the container, thereby moving a movable piston arranged within the container.

The present invention is directed to a device for expression of a hemostatic powder having an elongated reservoir with a manual air pump, such as a bellows, at a proximal end and an expression port at a distal end. A porous filter is slidably disposed within the elongated reservoir between the bellows, a plunger, and the expression port, and a spring is disposed within the elongated reservoir between the manual air pump and the plunger. The hemostatic powder is disposed within the elongated reservoir between the porous filter and the expression port, and the manual air pump is in a fluid communication with the expression port through the porous filter and through the hemostatic powder.

According to an aspect, there is provided a training device for use in an inhaler, the training device comprising a body that is configured to be received at a first position in a housing of an inhaler, wherein the body comprises an interface arranged to connect to a canister interface in the housing of the inhaler; an electrical circuit configured to perform one or more functions; and a circuit triggering mechanism that comprises a switch for enabling the electrical circuit to perform the one or more functions when the switch is closed, wherein the circuit triggering mechanism is configured such that the switch is closed when the body is pressed from the first position towards the canister interface and into a second position in the housing of the inhaler.

An intubation infection control tent system is described. In an example implementation, an infection control tent includes a cover that forms a space in which a patient can be positioned, the cover creating an infectious barrier between the patient and an external environment, one or more support channels integrated into the cover that provide a rigid structure to the cover, and a drape skirt that connects to an edge of the cover and drapes over a portion of the patient.
