  • Publication number: 20230070347
    Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable layer. The fluid impermeable layer includes a proximal end region and a distal end region. The fluid impermeable layer also defines at least a chamber, at least one opening that may be between the proximal and distal end regions, and a fluid outlet that may be at the proximal end region. The fluid collection assembly may also include at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly further includes an extension that is at least one of attachable or extends from the distal end region of the fluid impermeable layer. The extension is configured to be disposed within the gluteal cleft (e.g., between the buttocks) to help secure the fluid collection assembly to an individual using the fluid collection assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230054937
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to automated adjustment of a positioning of a drainage bag based on at least an amount of tension within a tubing extending from the drainage bag. The system, apparatus and method pertain to an automated drainage bag actuation system that includes at least a first railing, a control box coupled to the first railing and configured to receive mounting fasteners that couple a drainage bag to the control box, the control box including a tension load cell sensor, a first motor, and circuitry electrically coupled to the first motor and the tension load cell sensor. The circuitry is configured to receive data from the tension load cell sensor indicating an amount of tension in tubing extending from the drainage bag and transmit one or more electrical signals to activate the first motor causing adjustment of a positioning of the drainage bag.

  • Publication number: 20230030637
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a drainage system for draining a fluid from a patient where the system includes a drainage tube that provides fluid communication between a catheter and a collection container. The drainage tube includes a port and a balloon attached to an interior of the drainage tube, where the balloon is configured to receive air from a needle that has pierced the port and occlude a lumen of the drainage tube. When in an inflated state, the balloon occludes the lumen of the drainage tube thereby breaking the fluid communication between the catheter and the collection container and preventing the output airflow device from drawing airflow out of the catheter. The balloon may be attached to the interior of the drainage tube by surrounding an interior side of the port.

  • Publication number: 20230011631
    Abstract: A targeted temperature management (TTM) system is disclosed that includes a TTM module to provide a TTM fluid, a fluid delivery line (FDL) including a FDL hub, a fluid delivery lumen and a fluid return lumen, and a pad to facilitate thermal energy transfer between the TTM fluid and a patient, the pad including a fluid delivery conduit extending away from the pad portion and including a first leak prevention valve configured to enable the TTM fluid to flow in a distal direction while preventing flow in a proximal direction, and a fluid return conduit extending away from the pad portion, the fluid return conduit including (i) a return conduit connector at a proximal end thereof, and (ii) a second leak prevention valve configured to enable the TTM fluid to flow in the proximal direction while preventing flow in the distal direction.

  • Publication number: 20220287874
    Abstract: A targeted temperature management (TTM) system for providing a TTM fluid including a thermal pad is disclosed. The pad includes a fluid delivery conduit and a fluid return conduit extending continuously from the pad to the TTM module. Valves may be included in line with fluid delivery and fluid return conduits. The thermal pads include one or more conduit retention devices for binding the fluid conduits together. Methods of using the system are disclosed and include disposing a thermal pad in a storage configuring where the fluid conduits are wound together to form a coil, winding the fluid conduits together to form a coil, binding the windings together with a conduit retention device, and placing the coil underneath a stretchable band of the thermal pad.
