  • Publication number: 20170014554
    Abstract: A medical suction system and method of use is disclosed. The system may include a tube and a collection container. A distal portion of the tube may have a plurality of apertures that are disposed within the patient of an opening adjacent to an incision at a surgical site. A proximal portion of the tube extends out of the opening and is connected to the collection container. The opening is sealed around the tube so as to form a closed system with the collection container. The collection container may be resilient and form a vacuum by compressing by allowing the collection container to decompress. The collection container may also be provided to the user pre-compressed by rolling up the collection container and placing a band or wrapper around the compressed collection container. Alternatively, the collection container may be provided in the uncompressed state. Anchor tabs are used to secure the tube so that the plurality of apertures remain within the patient.

  • Publication number: 20150352268
    Abstract: A portable, adjustable disposable medical suction system and method of use is disclosed. The system includes a delivery device to provide a conduit from a surgical site on a patient to the portable, adjustable medical suction system. The suction system may be a battery powered vacuum pump with one or more different adjustments directed to a strength of the vacuum, duration of the vacuum and interval between suction. The delivery device may be an intranasal tampon device or a tube inserted into the surgical site. During surgery and recovery at a surgical center or hospital, the vacuum source attached to the delivery system may be an industrial type vacuum source. Upon discharge, the suction system can be connected to the delivery system so that bleeding can be resolved by the patient in the comfort of his/her own home. The system and method of use is safer and mitigates body fluid borne contamination.
