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.

The invention is related to the field of medical device, particularly to an intraosseous pressure release screw which not only excludes foreign matters but also facilitates intraosseous cleaning. The intraosseous pressure release screw comprises a screw rod with a central cavity disposed therein and a screw cap rotatably disposed on one end of the screw rod; the screw cap is provided with a pressure release part which communicates the central cavity with the outside; a rinsing opening is arranged on the rod section of the screw rod within the screw cap and is in communication with the central cavity; and a lockable opening is arranged on the side wall of the screw cap and can rotate with the screw cap to keep communication with the rinsing opening. As a screw cap with a pressure release part is arranged at the end of the screw rod, the food blockage of the screw rod can be prevented while the patient under treatment is eating, thereby ensuring the unobstructed pressure release. In the case of intraosseous cleaning, the screw cap is rotated to a position where the lockable opening is in communication with the rinsing opening; that is, the rinsing solution may be added to the central cavity via the rinsing opening, thus improving the therapeutic effect of core decompression.

A collection liner for a medical or a surgical operation is disclosed which includes a closed bag portion and inlets opening into the bag portion. The collection liner can include a handle which includes at least one of the inlets inside the handle.

A medical sampling device is disclosed for use with a medical device having a suction channel and a suction connector in fluid communication with said suction channel. The sampling device includes a suction inlet for connection to the suction connector, a suction outlet for connection to a vacuum source, a sampling inlet and outlet for connection to a sample container, and a valve including a valve member having first and second chambers and being rotatable between first and second positions. The first chamber in the first position establishes fluid communication between the suction inlet and the sampling inlet. The second chamber in the first position establishes fluid communication between the sampling outlet and the suction outlet. One of the first and the second chambers in the second position establish fluid communication between the suction inlet and the suction outlet.

A multifunctional central suction system capable of remote monitoring includes a flow measurement device and a controller, wherein a negative pressure port of the flow measurement device is connected to a negative pressure air nozzle of the controller via a gas pipe; the flow measurement device includes a measurement mechanism and a liquid bottle; the negative pressure port is arranged on the liquid bottle; a first Bluetooth communication module is provided on the measurement mechanism; a communication module is provided in the controller; the communication module includes a second Bluetooth communication module and a WiFi communication module; and the first Bluetooth communication module on the measurement mechanism is in communication connection with the second Bluetooth communication module in the controller.

A female urinary relief device is disclosed. The device may include an intimate interface device (IID) configured to be positioned intimate with a user's body. The IID may include a tray including a raised perimeter forming a seal between the user's body and the tray. The IID may include a fluid cavity configured to capture fluid from the user's body. The IID may include a pad including a slot configured to provide an unobstructed route to the fluid cavity. The device may include a fluid removal system configured to remove the fluid from the fluid cavity and route the fluid to a storage device. The fluid removal system may include a suction sub-system configured to pull the fluid against gravity to remove the fluid from the fluid cavity. The fluid removal system may include discharge hoses configured to fluidically and mechanically couple the IID to the storage device.

A suction-based medical dressing assembly and method of dermal irrigation provides a flexible tube that is fluidly coupled to at least two bifurcated tube portions defined by a plurality of apertures. The tube has a proximal end opening for discharging ambient fluid. The length of the bifurcated tube portions is surrounded by an absorbent gauze material covered substantially with an occlusive sheet material, and having an adhesive strip thereon. A vacuum assembly creates a negative pressure in the tubes. The ambient fluid is absorbed by the absorbent material, and the negative pressure sucks the fluid through the apertures in the bifurcated tube portions for discharge through the opening in the tube. In operation, a patient applies the adhesive side of the occlusive device to the skin where liquid removal is desired and activates the vacuum-inducing source, thereby causing fluid runoff from the patient to be effectively removed for disposal.

A decompression device and method for removing marrow and other fluid from an intramedullary canal. The decompression device includes a cannula having a channel that allows fatty marrow to pass therethrough. A first port extends from the device and is in operable connection to a vacuum source that creates suction for removing fluid from the intramedullary canal. In some embodiments, one or more fenestrations are disposed along the second end of the cannula to expedite the removal of the fluid. In operation, the cannula is inserted into the intramedullary canal of a femur. Once fatty marrow is removed from the intramedullary canal, the cannula is removed and a reaming device is inserted into the femur. In this way, the fatty marrow is removed prior to the reaming procedure in order to prevent these fluids from traveling to the lungs causing blockage that leads to severe cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction.

A suction catheter system is described with a suction extension interfaced with a guide catheter to form a continuous suction lumen extending through a portion of the guide catheter and through the suction extension. The suction extension can be positioned by tracking the suction nozzle through a vessel while moving a proximal portion of the suction extension within the lumen of the guide catheter. The suction extension can comprise a connecting section with a non-circular cross section for interfacing with the inner lumen of an engagement section of the guide catheter. The tubular body of the guide catheter can have a reduced diameter distal section the can be useful to restrain the movement of the suction extension. Proximal fittings attached to the guide catheter can facilitate safe removal of the catheter system from the patient by allowing for the removal of some or all of a tubular extension of the suction extension from the guide catheter behind a hemostatic seal. Pressure sensors connected to the proximal fittings can help to guide the procedures with reduced risk of embolizing thrombus.

A device for evacuating a surgical site of a patient includes a container that defines a first end having a tapered surgical site engaging surface and a second end having a pressure source engaging surface. The first end defines a tapered cross-section configured for being engageably received within an opening at the surgical site. In operation, vacuum pressure is applied to the second end in order to create a vacuum within the container to evacuate fluids from the surgical site.
