  • Patent number: 12144949
    Abstract: The system comprises of a fluid container, a replaceable applicator head and a compatible, viscous antiseptic solution. The primary advantage is substantially drip free application. The system is non-vented and non-collapsible. The fluid container is non-compressible and comprises a prepping solution, a threaded spout and a container seal. The applicator head consists of a body to which a foam pad is attached and a channel through which the solution flows into the foam when the applicator head is connected to the fluid container. The applicator head when fixed onto the fluid container breaks the seal and creates a continuous channel that is non-vented for the solution to flow into the foam pad.

  • Publication number: 20230293793
    Abstract: A wearable automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine is disclosed herein. In an example, the APD machine includes a delivery system connected to a dialysis fluid container and a catheter connected to a peritoneal cavity of a patient. The delivery system includes a pump for pumping fresh dialysis fluid from the dialysis fluid container to the patient, and pumping used dialysis fluid from the patient to the dialysis fluid container. The delivery system also includes a control unit configured to control the pump using a flow rate measured by a flow sensor and a pressure measured by a pressure sensor. The APD machine also includes a clothing item to be worn by the patient. The clothing item includes a first section to retain the dialysis fluid container, a heating element positioned adjacent to the first section for warming the fresh dialysis fluid, and a second section to retain the delivery system.
