<p>A method of irrigation of a body cavity, promoting asepsis, in which an irrigant solution, comprising a solution of iodine, is introduced into an abdominal cavity, retained within the abdominal cavity until asepsis is achieved, and drained from the abdominal cavity. The solution may include a local anesthetic, a lubricant and a binding agent such as glycol. A preferred solution includes approximately 5% F68 pluronic polyol, has a ratio of about 3:1 by weight of iodine to iodide, has a total I content of about 1500 ppm by weight and has a pH of from 5 to 7. A catheter apparatus particularly adapted for implementation of the irrigation method comprises a drainage means and an independent irrigation means.</p> |
