Disclosed is a vessel for recovering adipose tissues including a body sealed by a lid connectable to a first pipe with a suction cannula, and a second pipe with a suction pump. A removable adapter connects a lid including two orifices, each closed by a stopper that can be pierced or is pre-pierced and self-sealing, and a vent opening with a filter and removable plug. The connection adapter includes two rigid piercing tubes projecting from under the adapter, each piercing tube in continuous fluid relationship with a corresponding nipple projecting from the adapter, each nipple connectable to a corresponding pipe. The two sealed orifices of the lid and the adapter and piercing tubes are arranged so, when the connection adapter is applied to the lid, each piercing tube pierces a corresponding stopper and brings each nipple into correspondence, in a sealed manner, with the internal volume of the vessel.

Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for controlling placement of intraocular implants within a patient's eye including but not limited to placement within or near the collector ducts of Schlemm's canal located behind the trabecular meshwork. In some embodiments, a handheld peristaltic rotor device having a compression element can be positioned on a corneal surface of the eye and rotated to create a peristaltic movement of blood in one or more episcleral veins to generate blood reflux within Schlemm's canal such that one or more collector ducts, or channels, of Schlemm's canal can be located. In some embodiments, an implant can be implanted near the identified location of the one or more collector ducts, or channels.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to fluid collection assemblies that include at least one inflation device, methods for using the same, and systems including the same. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one inflation device. The inflation device includes at least one bladder having one or more walls defining an interior region. The inflation device also includes at least one valve configured to selectively permit flow of at least one inflation fluid into and out of the interior region to switch the at least one bladder between a first state and a second state.

The present invention relates to a motor-driven suction pump and a method for connecting such a pump. The suction pump has a pump unit for generating a negative pressure which is accommodated in a housing. Further, a terminal box is provided which can be connected to a power source via a connecting cable and has contact elements for supplying the pump unit with a power current. The contact elements are electrically conductively connected to the contact counter elements provided on the housing side and leading to the pump unit when the terminal box is coupled to the housing. In order to increase electrical safety, a sensor, an evaluation unit, and a switch are provided. The sensor is configured to check the coupling of the terminal box. The switch switches a power supply to at least one of the contact elements. The evaluation unit is data-based connected to the sensor and the switch such that the switch connects the contact element to the power current supply when a signal of the sensor confirming the coupling is present and disconnects the power current supply when a signal of the sensor confirming the coupling is absent. In the method according to the invention, at least one contact element which is switched off is first electrically connected to the counter contact element on the housing side, which is provided for supplying current to the pump unit. The power current is then applied to the contact element on the basis of a signal confirming the corresponding contacting.

Methods and apparatuses for automatically switching different aspiration levels to an ocular probe are disclosed herein. The probe may be a phacoemulsification probe. A first aspiration level, supplied by a first pump, may be applied to the probe simultaneously with ultrasonic energy. A second aspiration level, supplied by a second pump, may be automatically switched from the first aspiration level. Control feed back of the pumps may be varied according to set thresholds.

An automatic urine treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiver for receiving wearer's excrement; a main body including a urine tank for receiving and storing urine from the receiver, and a vacuum pump for sucking air into the urine tank and transferring a negative pressure to the receiver; and a first connecting hose connecting the receiver and the urine tank. A strip accommodation unit for accommodating a strip for analyzing components of the stored urine through color change is formed inside the urine tank, and on the outer surface of the urine tank, urine analysis is performed using a first optical sensor unit for sensing color change of the strip, and a second optical sensor unit for sensing at least one among turbidity and color change of the stored urine. There is an advantage of being able to confirm the health condition of disabled or elderly people in real-time through the urine information analyzed in this way.

An aspiration and irrigation ultraportable device is disclosed. The device is configured to aspirate and irrigate alone or sequentially. The device comprises a digitally adjustable dry/wet vacuum and a spray/irrigator assembly that is powered by rechargeable batteries. The device has at least one easily disposable and cleanable aspirant/irrigant reservoir. The present invention relates to the field of medicine specially related to outpatient and in-home settings of aspiration and irrigation of nose, ear, open wounds, and other body fluids.

This invention relates to the design of tissue covering elements for use in vacuum assisted tissue apposition systems, wherein the geometry of the covering elements favours the application of contractile forces over compressive or extensive forces at the tissue interface.
