AUTOMATIC CERUMEN REMOVING DEVICE
The present application provides a cerumen removing device, comprising a container section comprising a recovery hole and a discharge hole; a head section exposed to the outside through the recovery hole and having at least one air ejection hole; and a pump configured to discharge air to the outside through the air ejection hole.
IRRIGATION ASSEMBLY
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.
ANTI-REFLUX ENEMA BUCKET SYSTEM WITH PULLEY RESTRICTOR
Disclosed are various embodiments for an anti-reflux enema bucket system that is leakproof, easy to disassemble and clean, prevents reflux, has components that can be independently cleaned and sanitized, and controls a rate at which water is expelled from a nozzle outlet. In various embodiments, the enema bucket system includes an enema bucket having an opening at a top for filling the enema bucket with solution, a nozzle comprising a nozzle outlet, an anti-reflux coupler positioned between the enema bucket and the nozzle through which the solution passes from the enema bucket to the nozzle outlet; and tubing fluidly coupling the enema bucket, the anti-reflux coupler, and the nozzle. A pulley restrictor may selectively control a speed at which the solution is introduced into the nozzle and expelled from the nozzle outlet.
System for improving fluid drainage
A low-cost and simple-to-use system and method to facilitate a prophylactic pleural lavage protocol at the time of thoracostomy tube placement for traumatic hemothorax in order to reduce the need for secondary intervention for the management of retained hemothorax. The invention may be used in conjunction with existing chest tubes and be administered at the time of initial chest tube placement, and continued at the bedside (by a bedside nurse) over the duration of chest drainage, as necessary. The system includes an operator device that semi-automatically administers a pleural lavage protocol consisting of saline instillation, and suction to slow the clotting process, prevent gelling of blood, and maintain drainability.
SPLASHBACK SHIELD FOR WOUND CLEANSING
A splashback shield for connection to a saline bottle containing a saline solution. The splashback shield has a neck with internal threads. A shower barrier is positioned adjacent to the neck. The shower barrier has a plurality of holes. A shield section is positioned adjacent to the shower barrier. A plurality of drains is cut into the shield section. The plurality of drains permits the drainage of the saline solution after the patient's wound has been irrigated.
Abscess Irrigation Systems
An irrigator system for delivering a volume of fluid from a fluid source to an abscess or wound. The irrigator system includes a fluid source connector for removably connecting to the fluid source, a fluid delivery nozzle for delivering the fluid to the abscess or wound, and a shield removably positioned around the fluid delivery nozzle to protect the fluid delivery nozzle.
EAR CLEANING DEVICES AND METHODS
A system and method to irrigate a user's auditory canal. A fluid can be dispensed from a reservoir through a fluid path and out through openings of a delivery element into the auditory canal. A pump may be used to facilitate the process of dispensing the fluid. The fluid can be delivered to the user's auditory canal for a predetermined period of time. Such a time period may be user selectable. The discharge from the irrigation is removed from the user's auditory canal via a discharge port located on the delivery element. The discharge exits the delivery element and proceeds to a discharge reservoir via a discharge path. A vacuum may be used to generate a negative pressure to facilitate the removal of the discharge from the auditory canal.
Negative pressure wound therapy instillation system
A system for delivering reduced pressure and irrigation fluid to a wound site. The system includes a primary pressure source for delivering reduced pressure through a first lumen, a secondary pressure source for delivering secondary pressure through a second lumen, and an irrigation fluid source. A valve system is operable to selectively couple the secondary pressure source to the second lumen for delivering the secondary pressure to a wound site and selectively couple the fluid source to the second lumen for delivering the irrigation fluid to the wound site.
NASAL IRRIGATION ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEM
An assembly for nasal irrigation for the handheld irrigation of a user's nasal cavity comprising a housing with a refill chamber containing irrigating fluid, an applicator, an actuator for forcing irrigating fluid from the refill chamber through the applicator into the user's nasal cavity during operation, and a solution port for refilling the refill chamber. Some embodiments of the present invention may further comprise a system for nasal irrigation that includes the assembly for nasal irrigation or handheld irrigator, as well as a solution assembly structured for dispensing irrigating fluid to the handheld irrigator, a docking station for removably housing the handheld irrigator, a solution assembly and a refill control, including a check valve.
