Vacuum sponge drainage

摘要

The invention relates to a vacuum sponge unit (2) for use in human or animal bodies, comprising a fluid collecting member (10), in particular a sponge unit, and a fluid communication member (20), in particular a drainage tube, which is disposed at least partially in the fluid collecting member (10) and is connected in fluidic communication to the fluid collecting member (10). In order to improve known devices, the inventions proposes developing the vacuum sponge unit (2) such that the fluid collecting member (10) has a channel (11) for guiding a guide member (3), in particular a guide wire, and/or a delivery member (4), in particular a probe unit and/or an endoscope, through the fluid collecting member (10).

主权项

1. A vacuum sponge unit for use in human or animal bodies, comprising:
a fluid collecting member comprising a sponge unit having a plurality of subunits pre-perforated at their boundaries, wherein the subunits are separable from one another; and a fluid communication member comprising a plurality of drainage tubes, wherein each of the drainage tubes is disposed at least partially in one of the subunits, and wherein each subunit has at least one of the drainage tubes at least partially disposed therein; and wherein each of the drainage tubes is in fluid communication with one of the subunits such that negative pressure can be applied to all of the subunits after one or more subunits have been separated.
