Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090030402 | Suctioning System, Method and Kit - A suction head in fluid communication with a pump head provides a sub-ambient working pressure to a target area, enabling drainage thereof to a waste container. The pump head is coupled non-mechanically to a pump drive. A control system for a suction system is also provided. | 01-29-2009 |
20090157016 | Suctioning system, method and kit - A suction head in fluid communication with a pump head provides a sub-ambient working pressure to a target area, enabling drainage thereof to a waste container. A passive pressure regulation system enables the working pressure to be maintained at a desired level. A monitoring system for a suction system is also provided. | 06-18-2009 |
20090198201 | Suctioning system, method and kit - A suction head in fluid communication with a pump head provides a sub-ambient working pressure to a medical site, enabling drainage thereof to a waste container and/or enhancing healing at the site. A passive pressure regulator enables the working pressure to be maintained at a desired level independent of the fluid flow through the system. | 08-06-2009 |
20090264837 | Wound closure and drainage system - A vacuum system for draining an open wound from liquids exuded therefrom, comprising an enclosure sealable to the wound circumference, a vacuum pump including a disposable pump unit detachably attachable to a non-disposable drive unit, and a waste container for collection of drained liquids. The enclosure has an outlet connected by means of a tube to an inlet of the pump unit and the waste container is connected to an outlet of the pump unit, such that when the vacuum pump is operated the drained liquids flow through the vacuum pump. The enclosure has one or more bleeding holes provided therethrough or adjacent to its outlet so that ambient air may enter the tube and flow together with the drained liquids. The enclosure and the waste container are disposable so that the drained liquids contact only disposable elements and may be disposed of together with all disposable elements. | 10-22-2009 |
20100063483 | SUCTION SYSTEM - A system and method are disclosed for providing suction to a target area, in which suction is induced via pumping action in proximity to the target area via a pump head that is integral with an enclosure that is configured for covering the area. The pump head has an inlet that projects directly into the internal volume of the enclosure. | 03-11-2010 |
20100139660 | Pump and exhalation valve control for respirator apparatus - Double acting respirator pump apparatus including a pump member reciprocable with respect to two pump chambers to deliver air to a patient via a respirator exhalation system, which also facilitates exhalation of the patient. The exhalation system has a pump unit that is operatively connected to an exhalation valve member and configured for selectively generating an air pressure sufficient for pressurizing one side of the valve member for closing the same when said exhalation system is operating in inhalation mode, and may be operated for opening to allow the patient to exhale therethrough. | 06-10-2010 |
20110125113 | TISSUE ENCLOSURE - Provided is a device for providing a vacuum to a tissue, including a first tissue cover for covering the tissue and having first peripheral portion with a tissue facing contact surface adapted to be sealingly affixed to a first tissue portion surrounding the tissue, the device being adapted for enabling a vacuum to be selectively applied to the tissue in operation of the device; a substantially contiguous layer of flowable sealing material configured for covering a second tissue portion abuttingly adjacent at least a part of the first peripheral portion, where the sealing material is configured for filling gaps between the contact surface and the first tissue portion that may form leaks, by flowing towards the contact surface under suction provided when the vacuum is applied to the damaged tissue in operation of the device, and where the sealing material is uncoupled with respect to the contact surface at least prior to affixing the contact surface to the first tissue portion; and a second tissue cover covering at least a part of the layer. The device may be provided in the form of a kit. A system and method including the device are also provided. | 05-26-2011 |
20130032151 | PUMP AND EXHALATION VALVE CONTROL FOR RESPIRATOR APPARATUS - Double acting respirator pump apparatus including a pump member reciprocable with respect to two pump chambers to deliver air to a patient via a respirator exhalation system, which also facilitates exhalation of the patient. The exhalation system has a pump unit that is operatively connected to an exhalation valve member and configured for selectively generating an air pressure sufficient for pressurizing one side of the valve member for closing the same when said exhalation system is operating in inhalation mode, and may be operated for opening to allow the patient to exhale therethrough. | 02-07-2013 |
20130281986 | WOUND CLOSURE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM - A vacuum system for draining an open wound from liquids exuded therefrom, comprising an enclosure sealable to the wound circumference, a vacuum pump including a disposable pump unit detachably attachable to a non-disposable drive unit, and a waste container for collection of drained liquids. The enclosure has an outlet connected by means of a tube to an inlet of the pump unit and the waste container is connected to an outlet of the pump unit, such that when the vacuum pump is operated the drained liquids flow through the vacuum pump. The enclosure has one or more bleeding holes provided therethrough or adjacent to its outlet so that ambient air may enter the tube and flow together with the drained liquids.
