A system for anal irrigation is provided. The system includes a container, an anal probe, tubes and an electrical pump. The container has two configurations, a first collapsed configuration and a second expanded configuration. In the first configuration, a cavity for storing tubes and the anal probe is provided. In the second configuration, the container has a cavity for containing irrigation liquid. The pump and valves is stored in a cavity towards the bottom of the container.

Fecal management methods and apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) are described herein. The fecal management apparatuses may apply one or more fecal removal cycles of suction and irrigation (and in some examples air) to actively remove fecal material. The apparatus may control the timing of delivery of the fecal removal cycles as well as the parameters of the applied suction, irrigation and/or air within and between fecal removal cycles.

A portable system (1) is described, for heating, washing and sucking liquids for laparoscopic and laparotomic surgery, gynecology and urology, comprising: a trolley (3) for supporting and handling; a case (5) placed on the trolley (3) and composed of a first part made as a tank (7) for liquids equipped with an inclined bottom (9) to enable discharging liquids and cleaning the tank (7); and a second part containing at least one peristaltic pump (11) for sending a variable jet of liquid inside abdominal cavities, and at least one valve (13) for sucking liquids to wash the surgery field; a container (15) of liquids placed on the trolley (3) and equipped with a double pump (16) for taking and removing liquids into and from the tank (7); and a device (18) for keeping the temperature of liquids at an established maximum value.

A wound-dressing conditioning device (12) for conditioning a wound dressing (14). The device (12) comprises a treatment-fluid flow path (20) and a waste-fluid flow path (22). A pumping means (24) is at the treatment-fluid flow path (20) and the waste-fluid flow path (22). The pumping means (24) can pump treatment fluid along the treatment-fluid flow path (20) pump waste fluid along the waste-fluid flow path (22), and apply negative-pressure condition to the wound dressing (14). The pumping means (24) has a controller to control the treatment fluid pumping, and a monitoring means for monitoring a volume of treatment fluid pumped to the wound dressing (14).

A portable functional vaginal cleansing apparatus is provided to prevent inflammation in vagina, to maintain cleanness, and to enhance massage effect. A portable functional vaginal cleansing apparatus comprises: a doughnut-shaped main body; a semicylinder water tank with a water level indicator (100) on the outside and a coupling protrusion inside; a handle part (380) with a coupling groove mounted at the coupling protrusion; a pumping unit (210) with a motor and a pump; and a control unit (290) with a rotator which is formed to rotate within a predetermined range, a insertion protrusion connected to a hose, an insertion unit with a nozzle part, an on and off switch, a water level controller, and an operation lamp.

Provided is an arthritis treatment method and an arthritis treatment system which can be effective for the short-term attainment of a pain relief effect. An arthritis treatment method includes an instrument introducing step of causing at least one instrument having a tubular shape to communicate with a lesion area in which crystal-induced arthritis occurs, and a treatment step of removing a causative agent of the crystal-induced arthritis from the lesion area by perfusion and discharge of a lavage fluid through the instrument.

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 am 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.

A pump with a controller for adjusting head pressure using a pressure boost is provided. The pressure boost may be dynamically adjusted during a surgical procedure based on the device being used and inflow and/or outflow settings.

The invention is directed to an ophthalmosurgical system which includes a console for accommodating an irrigation fluid vessel containing irrigation fluid and a cassette, insertable into the console, for directing the irrigation fluid to a surgical instrument for an eye to be treated. An irrigation fluid flow path leads from the irrigation fluid vessel to the cassette and to the surgical instrument. A first fluid pump includes a first pump chamber having a first volume and a first drive chamber separated therefrom by a first elastic partition and having a second volume. A second fluid pump is arranged in parallel to the first fluid pump and includes a second pump chamber having a third volume and a second drive chamber separated therefrom by a second elastic partition and having a fourth volume. The first volume or the third volume has a magnitude within the range from 1 to 25 cm.sup.3.

Aspects of the present disclosure are presented for a single surgical instrument configured for performing sealing procedures on tissues using electrosurgical or ultrasonic energy, irrigating tissue at the sealing site, and evacuating material from the sealing site. An end effector of the surgical instrument may include multiple members arranged in various configurations to collectively perform the aforementioned functions. The evacuation and irrigation elements may comprise one or more fluid paths configured to remove material from or deliver fluid to a surgical field. The instrument may include electrical and mechanical aspects that may be used to control the evacuation and irrigation functions. In this way, a user may use a single surgical instrument to perform these tasks during a tissue sealing procedure.
