Abstract: A device for clearing obstructions from a medical tube includes an elongated guide member residing at least partially with the medical tube. In a resting state, clearance members positioned along the guide member are in a low-profile configuration and allow a substantially unobstructed flow through a lumen of the medical tube. In use, the clearance members are in an enlarged-profile configuration to break up and clear obstructions from within the lumen of the medical tube.

Abstract: An ostomy pouch has a body side wall and a distal side wall defining a collection chamber. An opening is provided in the body side wall. A barrier is operably mounted to the body side wall over the opening. The barrier has an inlet opening. An internal collection member is mounted to the barrier. The internal collection member includes a tubular net having a first open end and a second closed end, and a ring-shaped capsule for storing the net inside the capsule in a collected manner. The ring-shaped capsule has an open central region and is mounted to the barrier with the capsule open central region and the barrier inlet opening aligned with one another to define a pouch inlet. The capsule extends into the pouch collection chamber and the first open end of the net is mounted to the capsule overlying the pouch inlet. Excretion is inlet to the pouch and is discharged into the net, paying out the net.

Abstract: Embodiments of delivering reduced pressure wound therapy are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a reduced pressure wound therapy device and a remote computer. The device can be configured to apply reduced pressure to a wound of a patient according to a default reduced pressure therapy prescription. The device can be configured to monitor usage data and transmit the usage data to the remove computer for determining compliance with a reduced therapy prescription. In some cases, non-compliance can be determined due to change of the prescription from the default prescription to a prescription more suitable for treating the wound. A non-compliance notification can be transmitted to the device. The device settings can be updated to the current prescription.
