A surgical drain tray assembly includes a fluid impermeable first layer and a porous second layer positioned on the fluid impermeable first layer. The fluid impermeable first layer includes a drain outlet, a basin, and a sloping surface angled toward the basin, the drain outlet being positioned within the basin. The porous second layer may be formed of a foam material and includes a top work surface. Fluids spilled onto the work surface pass through the porous second layer to the fluid impermeable first layer. The sloping surface of the fluid impermeable first layer conveys the fluids toward the basin for draining through the drainage outlet.

A drainage system, the drainage system comprising a container having an interior and a mouth, the mouth comprising an outer surface and an opening, a frangible seal covering the opening, a cap secured to the mouth and in fluid communication with a drainage line, the cap having an inner surface configured to engage with the outer surface of the mouth, an O-ring located at least partially between the outer surface of the mouth and the inner surface of the cap and configured to form a fluid seal between a space defined by the cap and the space located externally of the drainage system, and a retaining ring circumferentially engaging the cap.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site is disclosed. The container includes a drain hub having at least one sensor and a cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain to provide a suction source to draw and receive the fluid from the surgical site. The at least one sensor detects a characteristic of the fluid in the cartridge.

A suction stent for introduction into a hollow organ of the human or animal body, preferably into the gastrointestinal tract, in particular the intestine, includes a tubular hollow body which is open in the longitudinal direction and made of biocompatible material. The tubular hollow body has a fixed diameter at least in its central portion; and a porous shapeable material, preferably a sponge material, which is biocompatible and shapeable in the radial direction, the porous shapeable material radially sheathing the tubular hollow body at least in a section of the tubular hollow body. Further, a method is provided for sealing a leakage, especially an anastomosis, of the hollow organ.

Apparatuses for multi-orientation fluid management are described. In some example embodiments, an apparatus for managing fluids may comprise an absorbent core and one or more layers of a fluid acquisition and manifolding material. The fluid acquisition and manifolding material can provide a shell or envelope for capturing the fluid and distributing it to the absorbent core for storage. The manifolding material can distribute fluid as the absorbent core swells. The apparatus may additionally include an exudate container providing a casing for the absorbent core and the fluid acquisition and manifolding layers.

The present disclosure discloses a device for automatically collecting snot, which comprises a suction nozzle, a collecting cup, a cup holder and a shell component which are detachably connected in sequence, wherein the shell component is a hollow cavity. The present disclosure generates negative pressure suction through the air pump, and then the suction air enters the inner collecting cup through the air suction pipe, the cup holder air inlet, the air inlet channel and the micropore in sequence. Finally, the suction sucks the snot in the nose of a user into the inner collecting cup through the suction nozzle, effectively solving the problem of snot reflux.

A nasal mucus suction device includes an air pump and a head structure. The air pump has an intake tube and an outlet tube. The head structure is coupled to the intake tube and the outlet tube of the air pump, and defines a channel between a nasal mucus suction inlet and a gas outlet. The channel includes a first channel section in communication with the nasal mucus suction inlet, and a second channel section in communication with the gas outlet. The first channel section includes at least one mucus storage cavity, the second channel section is in communication with the intake tube and the outlet tube of the air pump. The first channel section has a maximized path length, and includes an anti-backflow channel structure. The second channel section includes a noise reduction space.

An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck with a rim defining an opening; a cap assembly supported on the bottle, the cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being insertable within the interior of the bottle and the second portion engaging a portion of the bottle to support the funnel above the rim, the funnel defining a bore that fluidly communicates with the hollow interior of the bottle; a self-sealing membrane that covers the bore formed by the funnel to selectively seal the hollow interior of the bottle; a cap attachable to the bottle, the cap including a cover portion that extends at least partially over the self-sealing membrane to restrain movement thereof, the cover portion being axially spaced from the self-sealing membrane to define a gap that permits axial movement of the self-sealing membrane to selectively open the bottle to fluid communication outside of the bottle.

Body-fluid containers, methods, and systems are presented that include a container that has a container housing formed, at least in part, by a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable material. The liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable material allows water to evaporate and be transmitted outside of the container. The evaporation allows more fluid to be processed by the container than the container could otherwise hold. Other systems, methods, and apparatuses are presented.

A cap assembly including a self-sealing membrane that overlaps an opening to an interior of a container. The cap assembly further includes a cap having a cover portion that includes an annular wall that defines a central opening, and at least one evacuating opening located radially outward of the central opening. The cover portion defines a gap above the self-sealing membrane. The gap is configured to allow the self-sealing membrane to be at least partially displaced from the opening to allow fluid communication between the interior of the container and an outside atmosphere when a suction is applied to the cap.
