Therapeutic eye treatment with gases
An apparatus (100) to maintain an environment over an anterior surface of a patient eye can include an enclosure (110) sized and shaped to be seated about the patient eye to form a cavity (112) within the enclosure. The enclosure can be configured to contain a fluid other than ambient air in contact with the patient eye. The apparatus can include a fluid regulator (1209) in communication with the enclosure, where the fluid regulator can be configured to regulate the composition of the fluid contained within the enclosure.
MOBILE EYE WASHING STATION
Apparatuses are described that provide for a mobile eye washing station. An example station includes a fluid storage cartridge that stores unused eye wash fluid and a nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the fluid storage cartridge. In operation, the nozzle assembly dispenses the unused eye wash fluid stored in the fluid storage cartridge via one or more nozzles of the nozzle assembly. The example station further includes a waste fluid collection basin that, in operation, collects eye wash fluid dispersed by the nozzle assembly. Due to contact with the fluid storage cartridge, the waste fluid collection basin compresses the fluid storage cartridge to drive fluid communication between the fluid storage cartridge and the nozzle assembly. The fluid storage cartridge is disposed vertically beneath the waste fluid collection basin.

EMERGENCY WASH SYSTEM
An emergency wash system includes a basin, a fluid dispenser disposed at least partially over the basin, and a push plate coupled to the fluid dispenser. The push plate is positioned behind the fluid dispenser. The fluid dispenser includes: a fluid inlet portion defining a drainage aperture; a first fluid riser fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet portion, the first fluid riser extending upward from the fluid inlet portion; and a second fluid riser fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet portion, the second fluid riser extending upward from the fluid inlet portion on a substantially opposite side of the fluid inlet portion relative to the first fluid riser.

Eye-washing vessel
An object of the invention is to provide an eye-washing vessel capable of preventing or reducing damage to the vessel body and providing an improved fit of an eye-contacting portion to a portion around the eye. An eye-washing vessel (1) includes a vessel body (10) capable of containing an eyewash solution, and an eye-contacting portion (20) connected to the vessel body (10). The vessel body (10) has a bottom wall (12) and a peripheral wall (14), and the eye-contacting portion (20) is connected to an end of the peripheral wall (14) opposite to the bottom wall (12) side. The vessel body (10) is made of a vessel-body material including polyethylene, and the eye-contacting portion (20) is made of an eye-contacting portion material including polyethylene and a thermoplastic elastomer having a lower hardness than that of the polyethylene.

Emergency wash system
An emergency wash system configured to dispense a fluid is disclosed. The system comprises a receptacle and a dispenser assembly disposed at least partially over the receptacle. The dispenser assembly comprises a fluid inlet portion configured to extend in a substantially horizontal direction when in use and configured to be in fluid communication with a fluid supply. The dispenser assembly also comprises a first outlet portion defining at least one first discharge opening, a second outlet portion defining at least one second discharge opening, a first fluid riser extending upwardly and outwardly from the inlet portion towards the at least one first discharge opening and a second fluid riser extending upwardly and outwardly from the inlet the first fluid riser towards the at least one second discharge opening on a side of the fluid inlet portion opposite the first fluid riser.
