A cleaning device having a body containing a cleaning fluid, an application member in selective fluid communication with the body via a fluid path, and a first selectively permeably element provided along the fluid path, the first selectively permeable element being configured to selectively interact with one or more selected components of the cleaning fluid sufficient to remove the one or more selected components from the cleaning fluid as the cleaning fluid travels along the fluid path, and wherein selective interaction between the first selectively permeable element and the one or more selected components includes at least a physical interaction. Also disclosed in methods of making and using the cleaning devices described herein.

The invention relates to a flexible application aid for the treatment of wounds. The application aid can be used in particular for the debridement and/or cleansing of wounds, including the skin surrounding the wound. The application aid according to the invention including a flexible or elastically deformable application wand, facilitates debridement of superficial to deep wounds without the risk of injury to the wound.

A device used for applying an antiseptic preparation to a surgical site of a patient prior to surgery outside of an operating theater. A loose-fitting bag is provided which encloses the surgical site by securing the open end(s) to the patient by closing means. A high friction scrub surface is provided in the bag. A method and apparatus are also provided for releasing antiseptic into the interior of the bag. The method provides that the surgical site can be scrubbed within the bag so as to properly prepare the skin for surgery. A temperature indicator for the antiseptic preparation is also provided.

An array of non-thermal plasma emitters is controlled to emit plasma based on application of an electric current at desired frequencies and a controlled power level. A power supply for an array controller includes a transformer that operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The controller monitors reflected power characteristics, such as harmonics of the alternating current, to determine initiation voltage of the plasma and/or resonant frequency plasma emitters. The array of non-thermal plasma emitters may be used in therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or medical sanitization applications, including where a non-thermal plasma treatment regimen is prescribed according to a prescription setting.

A sink to reduce or eliminate infection from being transmitted may include a front wall; a back wall being opposed to the front wall; and a pair of opposing side walls connecting the front wall to the back wall. The front wall, back wall and sidewalls defining a sink cavity, and the cavity includes a drain positioned closer to the back wall than positioned to the front wall.
