<p>A wound irrigation apparatus (10) includes a fillable fluid delivery member (12) a fluid channel (14), and a splash shield (16) for use in wound irrigation as disclosed. The shield is three-dimensional, about a wound to protect medical personnel from back splash resulting from wound irrigation, is at least partially flexible, and compliant for shaping the shield to fit the shape or dimension of a wound. The flexible peripheral edge (30) of the shield also prevents damage to the wound if the shield should come in contact therewith. The shield can be structured to provide selective angular adjustment of fluid delivery to the wound. The shield generally includes a shield member, and a hub (50) positioned through the surface of the shield to direct fluid to a wound. The wound irrigation apparatus can include an ergonomic handle (18) attachable to the fillable fluid delivery member for filling, and evacuation of the fluid delivery member.</p> |
