Foam formation device and method
A handheld device for mixing a liquid and a gas to form foam before a treatment procedure comprises: an inlet for letting a liquid enter the device, the inlet adapted for attachment to a syringe containing the liquid, an outlet for letting a formed foam exit the device, a chamber containing a gas, the chamber comprising the inlet and outlet, at least one agitation element disposed in the chamber, the at least one agitation element is arranged for independent movement in at least one degree of freedom, the at least one agitation element sized and shaped to mechanically agitate liquid flowing past the at least one agitation element, the liquid flowing in an overall inlet-to-outlet direction, the agitation being sufficient for the at least some of the liquid to mix with the gas to produce the formed foam; the device is dimensioned for holding in one hand.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PATIENT SKIN TREATMENT AND IRRIGATION
A system for irrigating a patient's skin. The system includes a fluid container that includes a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment being adapted to retain a first fluid on a first side of a divider and the second compartment being adapted to retain a second fluid on a second side of the divider. The system also includes an irrigation sleeve adapted cover a portion of the patient's skin. The system also includes a fluid charging portion adapted to receive a portion of the first fluid and a portion of the second fluid, wherein the portion of the first fluid reacts with the portion of the second fluid to form a charged compound in the fluid charging portion. The system also includes a compound delivery portion that extends at a first end of the compound delivery portion from the fluid charging portion, the compound delivery portion being adapted to deliver the charged compound from the fluid charging portion to the irrigation sleeve.
Liquid Applicator for Delivering Vaccines
The invention relates to a liquid applicator, for administering liquids, including vaccines, to animals. In particular, the applicator is useful for delivering liquids to mouths of animals.
Syringe assembly
A syringe assembly being assembled from a syringe for dispensing a dental or medical substance, and a protective cover. The protective cover has a geometrically determined, non-foldable tubular protective shaft. The syringe has a cartridge having an outlet for the substance. Further, the cartridge and the protective cover are assembled with the cartridge being received within the protective shaft. The syringe further comprises a dispensing tip that is connected to the outlet for dispensing the substance from the dispensing tip. A first seal is provided between the dispensing tip and the outlet, and a second seal is provided between the dispensing tip and the protective shaft.
Oral irrigator with back flow prevention
An oral irrigator with back flow prevention is described. The oral irrigator may include a reservoir, a base, a handle, and a one-way or unidirectional valve. The base may support the reservoir and include a pump fluidly connected to the reservoir. The handle may be positioned external the base and in fluid communication with the pump via a hose. The valve may be positioned external the base to inhibit or seal fluid from flowing from a downstream side of the valve toward the pump.
COLON CLEANING DEVICES AND METHODS
There is provided a colon cleaning device comprising: a tube through which liquid and fecal matter are removed from a colon of a patient, the tube having a longitudinal axis; a cleaning head positioned at the distal end of the tube, the cleaning head having at least one opening coaxial with the longitudinal axis, the at least one opening sized for fecal matter to enter the interior of the cleaning head from the colon; at least one disassembly element disposed within the cleaning head; and an actuating mechanism which actuates the disassembly element to perform sweeping displacement inside the cleaning head so that the at least one disassembly element rotates around the longitudinal axis to slice through the fecal matter; wherein the cleaning head and the tube are sized and shaped to be displaced along the colon of a patient.
Fluid management systems and methods
Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.

ASSOCIATION OF MOLECULAR OXYGEN AND HYALURONIC ACID OR ITS SALTS FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMATOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH VULVAR VESTIBULITIS
The object of the invention relates to an association of molecular oxygen and hyaluronic acid or its salts for use in the treatment of symptomatology associated with vulvar vestibulitis.
ORAL IRRIGATOR HANDLE FOR USE WITH ORAL AGENT
An oral irrigator handle for receiving an oral hygiene agent is described. The handle may be connected to a countertop oral irrigator or may be a portion of a handheld oral irrigator. The handle includes a chamber for receiving the oral hygiene agent, where the chamber body positioned within the fluid path of the handle. Fluid flowing into the handle, flows into the chamber, allowing the fluid to intermix with the agent, and then flows from the chamber to a tip connected to the handle.
