The containment shell is constituted substantially by two distinct portions, respectively a grip portion for the hand of the user and a portion for ejecting the washing liquid toward the region to be washed. The irrigator comprises means for the articulation of the ejection portion with respect to the grip portion. Advantageously, the irrigator can also comprise an aspiration duct, which is arranged inside the shell and can be associated with aspiration means.

  • Publication number: 20060256646
    Abstract: A mixing and distribution device for fixing paste, for multicomponent bone cement, comprising a box-like body that forms internally a receptacle closed in an upper region by a detachable and fluid-tight lid, inside which devices for mixing components of the fixing paste are accommodated and are coupled to a piston that forms a venting chamber toward the lid and a mixing chamber toward the bottom of the receptacle; the mixing chamber is connected to a channel for distributing bone cement, controlled by valve devices, and the venting chamber is connected to a venting channel associated with suction devices. The mixing devices are constituted by longitudinally elongated mixing blades arranged so as to slide within complementary through slots formed in the piston; a rotation pivot is locked coaxially on the piston and is arranged so that it can slide through a corresponding fluid-tight hole formed in the lid.

  • Publication number: 20020128660
    Abstract: A apparatus particularly for the operative placement of surgical instruments in cavities under controlled pressure in the surgical field or in the medical field in general, of the type that comprises a hollow body suitable to provide an access pathway to a cavity under controlled pressure, further comprising at least two sealing gaskets made of elastically deformable material and contained in the hollow body; the gaskets are coupled at their perimetric portion, are flat, and are arranged in succession coaxially; each gasket is provided with at least three radial cuts. The radial cuts of a same sealing gasket are staggered with respect to those of the adjacent sealing gasket.

  • Patent number: 6179855
    Abstract: A device for protecting the tissues of a physiological pathway during explorations performed with diagnostic and/or operating instruments, comprising a thin sheet made of plastics which is rolled up so as to form a tuboid. The tuboid, when inserted in the pathway, elastically increases its diameter as a consequence of the insertion of one of the instruments therein.

  • Patent number: 5203863
    Abstract: The instrument for the ligation of hemorrhoids or the like includes a substantially cylindrical container with a coupling for the connection of an air aspiration apparatus and a grip handle for the operator. The container is suitable for internally accommodating a hemorrhoid or the like aspirated through its open end, on which a dilated ring-like elastic ligature, to be transferred so as to throttle the "neck" of the hemorrhoid or the like, is arrangeable externally and circumferentially. The instrument is characterized in that the container is provided with a thumb-actuated hole for adjusting the pressure inside it while the aspiration apparatus is operating.

  • Patent number: 5129888
    Abstract: The support according to the invention comprises a preferably tubular hollow body which is provided, at one end, with a fixed or removable bottom from which a needle coupling element protrudes. The coupling element is provided with a breaking portion which facilitates its separation from the bottom. In this manner it is therefore possible to immediately and easily separate the needle which is coupled thereto from the support after use. The used needles and supports thus separated can be collected in appropriate containers.
