Abstract

Methods and devices for use in clinical irrigation are provided. The present invention further provides compositions and devices for use in irrigation and cleaning of wounds.

Claims

1. A device for the irrigation of wounds, wherein the device comprises:

a port (1) for the attachment an oxygen supply (2), an area (3) that sealably attaches to a supply of sterile saline (4), and a tube portion (5), wherein sterile saline may be sent through the tube portion (5) and out of a nozzle (6), wherein the nozzle (6) may be directed to irrigate a wound.

2. A device of claim 1, wherein the tube portion (5) and nozzle (6) permit sterile saline to be moved out of the nozzle at a pressure of 5 to 8 psi.

3. A device of claim 1, wherein the tube portion (5) and nozzle (6) permit sterile saline to be moved out of the nozzle at a pressure of 7 to 8 psi.

4. A device of claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a means (7) to modulate the pressure of sterile saline flowing through the nozzle (6).

5. A device of claim 1, wherein the area (3) that sealably attaches to a supply of sterile saline is an aperture with internal threads, wherein the internal threads are capable of screwing onto a bottle of commercially available medical grade saline.

6. A device of claim 1, which further comprises a mechanism (8) which allows an operator to turn the flow of sterile saline on and off.

7. A device of claim 6, wherein the mechanism is a trigger.

8. A device of claim 1, wherein the port (1) attaches to a pressurized oxygen supply.

9. A device for the irrigation of wounds, wherein the device comprises:

a port (1) for the attachment a pressurized oxygen supply (2);

an area (3) that sealably attaches to a supply of sterile saline (4), the area (3) comprising an aperture with internal threads, wherein the internal threads are capable of screwing onto a bottle of commercially available medical grade saline; and

a tube portion (5), wherein sterile saline may be sent through the tube portion (5) and out of a nozzle (6) at a pressure of 7 to 8 psi, wherein the nozzle (6) may be directed to irrigate a wound.
