WOUND CLEANING AND DECONTAMINATION DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

摘要

A wound cleaning and decontamination device and method is provided using directional control provided by a fluid oscillator providing a pulsating stream of droplets capable of inducing a vibrating or trampolining effect on the surface being cleaned. The device may include a pulsital oscillating nozzle supported by a portable housing, and a reservoir of cleaning fluid. The pulsating stream oscillates at a resonant frequency of the surface being cleaned, which may be between 20 and 80 Hz. The method may include using a pulsital oscillating nozzle for driving a disinfecting solution into the interstices of an epidermis layer of skin.
