Abstract:
A disposable medical irrigation device, manually operated, adapted for providing selective volume and stream intensity in liquid flow from a plurality of syringes. The device has a transparent reservoir vessel mounted upon a base which can rest upon a flat mounting surface and is resistant to tipping even when empty of liquid. The vessel provides liquid to flexible hoses that interconnect with syringes which are arranged to be hand held for ready aiming and directing of a stream of liquid from a nozzle onto a wound or the like for removing blood or other materials, including injury debris such as particles of clothing and the like. The syringes carry unique valve mechanisms so that a light pressure upon a squeeze bulb carried on a syringe initiates a liquid stream from the nozzle but the syringe can rest dribble free between uses. The device is arranged for readily assembly from easy-to-fabricate parts, and it can be sterilized and kept within a film pack until it is needed.
