A treatment system for applying negative pressure therapy and fluid instillation treatment to a tissue site, particularly an abdominal tissue site, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include a dressing member, a plurality of fluid removal pathways, a fluid instillation matrix, a drape, a negative-pressure source, and a fluid instillation source. Instillation fluid may be delivered from the fluid instillation source to the tissue site through the fluid instillation matrix, and negative pressure may be communicated and fluid withdrawn from the tissue site through the plurality of fluid removal pathways.

A portable retracting device for medical tubing management includes a housing. The housing includes a retractable cord disposed within the housing, wherein the retractable cord is configured to extend from a side of the housing. The device includes a first spring clamp configured to attach to clothing of an individual, a second spring clamp configured to clamp to the medical tube having a first diameter at a first location of the first medical tube, and a third spring clamp coupled to an end of the retractable cord configured to clamp the medical tube at a second location of the first medical tube to form a first loop in the first medical tube from the first location of the first medical tube to the second location of the first medical tube.

The disclosure relates to medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. For example, one of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component may be an elongate structural component also spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body The tube need not be made from distinct components, however. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or may be employed for other medical uses.

An injection device is used for “tattooing” markers inside the heart of a patient at specific locations. Placement within the heart of markers, such as points marked with a radiopaque dye, may reduce the use of x-ray dye and echocardiography, may allow a quicker cardiac procedure, and thus may improve the procedure outcome for the patient. Alternatively or additionally to cardiac marking with a radiopaque dye, cardiac tissue fibrosis, cardiac tissue contraction, and/or cardiac tissue stiffening (or hardening) can be promoted at specific locations by delivering a suitable substance.

A system for illuminating medical tubes is disclosed. The system includes an optical fiber secured to and extending along a length of a medical tube, and a light source configured to transmit a light through the optical fiber. The system further includes a controller in communication with the light source, and configured to control the light source. Additionally, the system includes an optical junction having a first input configured to secure a portion of medical tubing, a second input configured to receive and direct the light from the light source to the optical fiber, and an output configured to secure the optical fiber and the medical tube. The first input and the output are fluidly connected via the optical junction. The light illuminates the medical tubing via the optical fiber.
