摘要:
A medical material is capable of suppressing adhesion of platelets and proteins even when in contact with biological components such as blood for an extended period of time. The medical material is a copolymer including hydrophobic units and hydrophilic units in which the hydrophobic units have a C2-20 terminal alkyl group in a side chain, the static contact angle of water in the copolymer is at least 30° and less than 70°, and the glass transition temperature of the copolymer exists at only one point in the range from 45° C. to less than 90° C.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a reduced pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters. Certain embodiments are directed to connectors used to connect fluid passage tube used in transmitting negative pressure to a fabric channel used in a suction adapter.
摘要:
A removable manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection system. The manifold is dimensioned to be mounted to a receiver integral with the system. The manifold includes a includes at least one fitting through which waste is drawn into the manifold. The fitting opens through an inlet port into a void space internal to the manifold. The manifold includes a drip stop.

摘要:
A manifold for use with a surgical waste collection unit. The manifold includes a housing dimensioned to seat in a receiver of the waste collection unit with a fitting for receiving a suction tube. The housing has an outlet opening through which a suction is drawn so as to draw waste through the suction line, the fitting and the housing into the waste collection unit. Two tabs extends radially outwardly from the housing. The tabs are dimensioned to engage complementary slots in the receiver so as to facilitate the rotation alignment of the manifold in the receiver. In many versions of the invention, the tabs subtend different arcuate lengths. A filter is disposed in the housing to filter material that, as a consequence of the suction being drawn on the housing, is drawn through the housing.
摘要:
To provide a blood treatment filter device capable of efficiently utilizing a blood treatment filter.A blood treatment filter device 20 has a filter sheet 26 through which a specific component among components forming blood is harder to pass than other components and a spacer sheet 27 through which the specific component is easier to pass than through the filter sheet 26. The filter sheet 26 has filter through-holes 39 disposed at intervals. The filter sheet 26 and the spacer sheet 27 are spirally wound in an overlapped state. The filter device 20 has seals 31 sealing both end portions in the longitudinal direction of a wound body 25 formed by the filter sheet 26 and the spacer sheet 27 which are spirally wound in a fluid-tight manner. The outer peripheral surface of the wound body 25 is formed by the filter sheet 26.
摘要:
A pneumoperitoneum apparatus includes: a gas feeding conduit; a gas feeding flow rate variable section; a first pressure measurement section coupled with the gas feeding conduit; a conduit for pressure measurement; a conduit for pressure measurement coupling part coupled with the conduit for pressure measurement; a second pressure measurement section coupled with the conduit for pressure measurement coupling part, and configured to measure pressure in the conduit for pressure measurement; a gas leaking part configured to communicate the gas in the conduit for pressure measurement to an outside to leak the gas in the conduit by a predetermined leakage; and a control section configured to determine that the conduit for pressure measurement is crushed when pressure measured by the second pressure measurement section is smaller than a predetermined threshold.
摘要:
The present invention includes a comprehensive replacement fluid system and method for the delivery of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) to extracorporeal blood circuits, wherein the system may include an online clearance monitor (OCM) and a circuit effluent online sensor system (OSS) for the continuous determination of patient plasma content of ultrafilterable solutes.
摘要:
A method for filtering blood including: withdrawing blood from an adult patient; performing ultrafiltration by filtering the withdrawn blood in a filter having an active filter membrane surface of no greater than 0.2 meters squared (m2) to remove ultrafiltrate from the blood, wherein the filter membrane blocks the passage of blood molecules having a molecular weight of at least 60,000 Daltons, wherein an amount of the removed ultrafiltrate is an effective therapeutic amount for treating a fluid overload condition of the patient; infusing the ultrafiltrated blood into the adult patient, and pumping the ultrafiltrate from the filter a rate no greater than one liter per hour.
