Abstract: Lavage apparatus comprises lavage fluid supply apparatus, a first catheter having a distal end for positioning in the uterus of an animal and a proximal end for communication with the lavage fluid supply, a pair of bilateral catheters connected to the proximal end of the first catheter for extending into respective horns of the uterus, and catheter locating means for locating the catheters in the uterus. The first catheter defines respective supply and drain lumens. The bilateral catheters each define respective lumens for fluid communication between the supply lumen and the interior of the respective uterine horn. The lavage fluid supply apparatus may include a pump for supplying lavage fluid under pressure. The supply may also include a lavage fluid storage tank for containing a volume of fluid, and a heater to maintain the temperature of the stored fluid within a predetermined range. For use in a gravid uterus, a drain tube may be provided at the distal end of the first catheter for reaching into the depths of the uterus. Further, vacuum drainage apparatus may be provided to drain lavage fluid from the uterus. If desired, the lavage fluid supply may be utilized for purposes other than uterine lavages such as, for example, supplying fluids for intravenous infusion.

Abstract translation: 灌洗装置包括灌洗液供应装置，具有用于定位在动物子宫中的远端的第一导管和用于与灌洗液供应连通的近端，连接到第一导管的近端的一对双侧导管， 延伸到子宫的相应角部，以及用于将导管定位在子宫中的导管定位装置。 第一导管限定相应的供应和排出流明。 双侧导管各自限定用于供应管腔和相应子宫角内部之间的流体连通的相应流明。 灌洗液供给装置可以包括用于在压力下供应灌洗液的泵。 供应还可以包括用于容纳一定体积的流体的灌洗液储存罐和用于将储存的流体的温度保持在预定范围内的加热器。 为了用于妊娠子宫，可以在第一导管的远端设置排水管，以进入子宫的深度。 此外，可以提供真空排液装置以从子宫排出灌洗液。 如果需要，灌洗液供应可以用于除子宫灌洗以外的目的，例如供应用于静脉内输注的流体。
