The present invention is directed to the field of ophthalmological surgery and pertains to a system to modulate the intraocular irrigation solution for the anterior and/or posterior chamber of the eye to body temperature during an ophthalmological surgery.

The present invention relates generally to providing pressurized infusion of liquids and, more particularly, is directed to providing a stable and pressurized flow of irrigation fluid to the eye during surgery.

The disclosed apparatus, system and method may include at least a surgical fluid container that includes a fluid reservoir capable of containing the surgical fluid and a gas pressure pocket applied to the surgical fluid therewithin; a first external port extending from outside the fluid reservoir into fluid communication with the surgical fluid within the fluid reservoir; and a second external port extending directly from outside the fluid reservoir into the gas pressure pocket.

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.

The disclosure includes embodiments of an apparatus, a device, and methods to transform an infant feeding bottle into an infant gavage feeding apparatus. According to an embodiment, an infant gavage feeding apparatus can include an infant feeding bottle, a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a cord component. In another embodiment, an infant milk dual-delivery device to transform an infant feeding bottle to an alternate nipple feeding and gavage feeding apparatus includes a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a nipple receiving component. The gavage milk delivery component and the nipple receiving component can be positioned in a branched or a stacked configuration. The device can include a flow closure component and a controller to transition the milk flow for a gavage feeding and nipple feeding. The device can include a funnel to allow milk in the nipple to flow back into the infant feeding bottle.

Variables of a surgical system are detected or received via one or more sensors to predict an intraocular pressure (IOP) and/or determine an IOP in real time during a surgical procedure. A notification to a surgeon or a target IOP is set and maintained as determined by Static IOP, dynamic IOP, and/or a total IOP combining both static and dynamic IOP of the anterior chamber of a patient's eye. Information collected about various components of the system are displayed on a user interface. The system uses the collected information to calculate the static IOP and/or dynamic IOP of the system, and the total IOP may be function of the static IOP and/or dynamic IOP measurements.

Methods of administering an enema to a patient utilizing a fecal management system are disclosed. Such methods may include providing the patient utilizing the fecal management system and providing an enema solution providing apparatus. The enema solution providing apparatus may include a bag containing enema solution, tubing, a tubing connector, and an adjustable clamp. The method may include clamping a catheter of the fecal management system between an irrigation port and an collection bag, engaging the tubing connector with the irrigation port, actuating the adjustable clamp to commence a flow from the bag containing enema solution into the patient through the catheter, completing the flow from the bag containing enema solution into the patient, disengaging the tubing connector from the irrigation port; and unclamping the catheter. Kits for providing an enema through a fecal management system and enema solution providing apparatuses are also disclosed.

A method of managing fluid conditions in a patient involves advancing at least one medical instrument into a target organ of a patient, the at least one medical instrument comprising an irrigation channel and an aspiration channel, coupling the at least one medical instrument to an irrigation fluid source, providing irrigation from the irrigation fluid source into the target organ through the irrigation channel of the at least one medical instrument, determining an irrigation pressure limit based at least in part on one or more case-specific parameters, providing irrigation into the target organ through the irrigation channel, and limiting the irrigation based at least in part on the determined irrigation pressure limit.

The invention provides a fluid management system (1) for providing fluid from a fluid source (20) to the body of a patient. The fluid management system (1) includes a compressible chamber (10). A fluid conduit (30) is in fluid communication with the fluid source (20) and with an interior of the compressible chamber (10). A bypass conduit (40) has an inlet end (43) in fluid communication with the fluid source (20) and an outlet end (44) for providing fluid to a trocar (70). The bypass conduit 40 passes either through or around the compressible chamber (10). A first one way valve (80) can admit fluid from the fluid conduit (30) into the interior of the compressible chamber (10). A second one way valve (90) can admit fluid within the interior of the compressible chamber (10) into the bypass conduit (40). A portion (46) of the bypass conduit (40) upstream of the second one way valve (90) is collapsible under the force of selectively applied external pressure when the compressible chamber (10) is at least partially filled with fluid from the fluid source (20), so as to selectively close off the bypass conduit (40) upstream of the second one way valve (90).

A trans-anal irrigation (TAI) system adapted for self-use includes an irrigation head supplied with water from a reservoir by a pump or by gravity feed. The irrigation head has either internal or external structures for releasably retaining the head in a user's rectum during the water flow portion of a TAI process. A guide member arm may be provided for manipulating the irrigation head for both insertion and removal. The irrigation head is reliably attached to the guide member arm. The guide member arm may include an integral manual pump.
