Abstract:
A pump for pumping fluid matter from a treatment site in or on a living being comprises three compartments. A motor-driven pumping element is provided for generating a negative pressure within a wound cover at or near the treatment site, and a motor for providing a driving force to the pumping element is provided in the a first one of the compartments. The pumping element is comprised in a second compartment, and a container for collecting liquid pumped from the treatment site is comprised or integrated in a third compartment. The second compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or third compartment, and the third compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or the second compartment.
Abstract:
The cleaning of the interiors of tanks (1) can be carried out by means of a cleaning apparatus (5) with a nozzle (12) having a swivelling angle (41) which, according to the invention, is determined in such a manner that the turning points for the nozzle are precisely where the need for cleaning is the greatest. Moreover, the speed at which the nozzle (12) is swivelled can be steplessly varied so that the track of the cleaning jet can be adjusted to ensure the necessary and sufficient cleaning intensity. It is hereby achieved that the cleaning can be effected in the most economic manner, i.e. in the shortest possible time, while using the least possible cleaning fluid and energy. According to the invention, the nozzle (12) is moved by means of a turbine (14), a drive (15-20 and 24-30), a worm shaft (31), a worm wheel (32), a connecting link (35) and a pinion (38) which, via a rack (39), a shaft (23) and a pinion (42) on the nozzle (12), moves the nozzle in an oscillating, swinging movement (41). This construction ensures a simple and effective movement of the nozzle and provides the possibility of adjusting the nozzle's pattern of movement in accordance with the conditions inside the tank (1).
Abstract:
Tank cleaning equipment (20) according to the invention is mounted in a housing (18) over the opening (26) to a tank (5) and having a valve (16, 17) for the closing of the opening (26). Inside the housing (18) there is suspended a cleaning head (1) with movable nozzles (2) which are connected to a telescopic supply pipe (3) or an extendable hose (4) through which cleaning fluid under pressure can be conveyed to the nozzles (2). The extending of the fluid supply pipe (3, 4) is controlled by a drum drive (10) with a wire (7) which, over rollers (9), is connected (8) to the cleaning head (1), whereby the whole of the cleaning aggregate can be lowered into the tank (5) and housed completely in the housing (18) when cleaning is not being carried out. The equipement can thus be made very compact and is hereby well suited for permanent mounting on tanks, e.g. on tanker vessels, and the operation can be made automatic and independant of manual control and handling. This results in a more safe and environment-friendly cleaning as compared with the hitherto-known stationary installations in tanks.
Abstract:
A wound treatment device for applying a reduced pressure to a wound site, the wound treatment device comprises a wound bandage fluidly connected to a canister and a vacuum source for sucking liquids from the wound site into the canister. The wound treatment device comprises an outlet arrangement defining an outlet of the canister, at least a part of the outlet arrangement being movable within the canister in response to liquid present in the canister so as to prevent said liquid from entering the outlet.

Abstract:
A suction system for removal of fluids from a surface, e.g. a wound site, the system comprising a cover attachable to a circumference of the surface to form an enclosed suction space sealed from ambient space. The system further comprises a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure via a tube to provide a pressure difference between a suction pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. To provide an improvement over the known systems and to facilitate pressure measurement, the system comprises flushing means to clean the tube.
Abstract:
In case of bleeding in body cavities, such as nasal cavities (15), a slight pressure will normally have to be applied to the bleeding mucosa in order to stop the bleeding. For this purpose, according to the invention, an object (4) is used, comprising an operating element, such as a length of pipe (7) around which a foam core (12) is attached, and which is terminated outermost by a film bag (5). The foam core (12) is made of a slowly expandable foam, which allows the object (4) to be shaped, as needed, prior to the insertion. When a haemostasis (13) has been formed, the object (4) may be withdrawn, and since the film (5) will turn over the haemostasis (13) by a pull at the pipe (7), this may take place without any trouble of any kind. This reduces the risk of re-bleeding and pain, and since body fluid, if any, will run inside the film, a high degree of hygiene will be achieved.

Abstract:
In order to be able to produce a compact cleaning plant which has great cleaning effect and is self-cleaning, the apparatus according to the invention is built up of a conical stationary part (1) mounted on the inlet pipe for the cleaning liquid, and on which there is suspended a 90 DEG pipe bend (16), the end of which has a hub (11) with nozzles (12) mounted in a rotatable manner in relation to the pipe bend. In this housing there is a built-in turbine (23) which drives a planet gear (15, 27) for the turning of the pipe bend (16), while at the same time the hub (11) is turned by means of toothed rims (8, 13) enclosed within the housing (1, 16, 11). The housing is also provided with outlet openings (35) and outlet slots (36, 37) for that part of the liquid (39) which serves to lubricate and clean the bearings, said openings and slots being positioned and configured in such a manner that the diverted out-flowing liquid also sweeps all of the housing's external parts. The apparatus is hereby held clean both internally and externally during the cleaning, which is of decisive importance where great demands regarding hygiene have to be met, while at the same time it is ensured that all movable parts of the apparatus are kept clean and herewith functionally efficient. Finally, the flow of liquid takes place evenly through the apparatus, whereby the loss of pressure becomes very low.
Abstract:
A suction system for removal of exudate from a wound comprises a wound cover which is attachable to a wound circumference of a living being thereby to form an enclosure, and a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure to provide a pressure difference between a negative pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. A deflectable member is arranged such with respect to the enclosure that the pressure difference may cause deflection of the deflectable member, and a pressure sensing device is located outside the enclosure and arranged to provide a signal in response to the pressure or the deflection of the deflectable member. The deflectable member forms an essentially air tight barrier between the sensor and the enclosure.
