IRRIGATION FLUID COLLECTION BASINS THAT RECEIVE PORTIONS OF THE HUMAN ANATOMY

摘要

Various embodiments of irrigation fluid collection basins are disclosed. The basin is configured for irrigation of a wound or fracture generally located on a portion of the human anatomy, such as a knee, shin, calf, elbow, or otherwise. The basin can include two recesses located on opposite sides of the basin along an upper periphery of the basin. The recesses are configured to receive the portion of the human anatomy (e.g., a leg) at two regions proximal to the location of the wound or fracture, so that the wound or fracture is located over the cavity of the basin. The recesses can be sized so that one is broader than the other, the broader recess configured to comfortably accommodate a larger region of the leg and the other recess configured to comfortably accommodate a smaller region of the leg.

主权项

1. A medical basin for collecting fluid during an irrigation procedure of a wound on a human extremity, the basin being sterilized and comprising:
a base; a peripheral wall comprising:
an inner surface defining a cavity configured to receive the irrigation fluid during the irrigation procedure;an upper edge defining an upper periphery;a lower edge;a first side; anda second side; a first contoured recess formed on the first side of the peripheral wall, the first contoured recess configured to receive a first portion of the human extremity on a first side of a joint in the extremity; the first side of the peripheral wall having a central axis passing through a midpoint of the first side and perpendicular to the first side, the midpoint of the first contoured recess being offset from the central axis of the first side; a second contoured recess formed opposite the first contoured recess on a second side of the peripheral wall of the basin; the second contoured recess configured to receive a second portion of the human extremity on a second side of the joint; and a connection element configured to connect with a suction hose to facilitate removal of irrigation fluid from the basin during the irrigation procedure of the wound on the human extremity received the basin.
