Publication number: 20210038774Abstract: A portable pump is provided for negative pressure wound therapy for drawing a vacuum from a wound site via a tube. The pump includes an inlet configured to attach the tube from the wound site; a canister in fluid communication with the inlet for collecting fluids drained from the wound site; and a manually-actuated pump mechanism for creating the vacuum. The pump mechanism includes a vacuum chamber in fluid communication with the canister; a piston disposed in the vacuum chamber; and a pump handle coupled to the piston to move the piston in the vacuum chamber between first and second positions to create the vacuum. The pump handle moving between a retracted position and an extended position. The piston is in the first position when said pump handle is in the retracted position and is in the second position when said pump handle is in the extended position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: Parasol Medical, LLCInventors: Patrick E.

Publication number: 20200376216Abstract: An airway clearance system includes a bladder, a negative pressure relief valve, a positive pressure relief valve, and a port. The bladder is moveable between an expanded state and a compressed state, and defines a first volume in the expanded state and a second volume in the compressed state. The second volume is less than the first volume. The negative pressure relief valve is in fluid communication with the bladder and configured to supply fluid to the bladder from an atmosphere surrounding the bladder. The positive pressure relief valve is in fluid communication with the bladder and configured to supply fluid to the atmosphere from the bladder. The port is in fluid communication with the bladder and configured to supply fluid from the bladder when the bladder moves to the compressed state and to supply fluid to the bladder when the bladder moves to the expanded state.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2018Publication date: December 3, 2020Applicants: William Beaumont Hospital, Grand Valley State UniversityInventors: Bassel A.
