WOUND IRRIGATION DEVICE

摘要

A device (100) for irrigating a wound with a fluid, comprises a syringe (102) having an elongated hollow body (104) defining a chamber (116) adapted to contain the fluid, and a plunger (106) movable within the body (104). An inlet passage (134) and an outlet passage (132) are each in fluid flow communication with the chamber (116), the inlet and outlet passages (134, 132) having respective free ends disposed adjacent to one another. When the valve (120) is open, fluid is conveyable through the inlet passage (134) and into the chamber (116), when the valve (120) is closed, fluid discharged from the chamber (116), flows through the outlet passage (132) for delivery onto the wound while being prevented by the valve (120) from flowing from the chamber (116) through the inlet passage (134).
