Listing ID #7045886

A pulsed lavage system is a medical device used for wound management and cleaning. It is designed to assist healthcare professionals in effectively cleaning and irrigating wounds, particularly chronic and acute wounds. The system usually consists of the following components:

1. Control Unit: This is the main unit of the system that houses the controls, settings, and interface. Healthcare professionals use the control unit to adjust parameters such as pulsation frequency, pressure, and fluid delivery.

2. Handpiece: The handpiece is the handheld device that delivers the pulsed fluid stream to the wound. It might have a trigger or button that allows the healthcare professional to control the delivery of the solution.

3. Fluid Delivery System: The system requires a sterile fluid solution, often saline, which is delivered through the handpiece to the wound site. The fluid helps flush away debris, contaminants, and bacteria from the wound.

4. Nozzles: Different nozzle attachments can be used with the handpiece to tailor the irrigation to the specific needs of different wounds. Nozzles might vary in shape, size, and pressure to accommodate various wound types and sizes.

5. Suction System (Optional): Some advanced pulsed lavage systems include a suction component to simultaneously remove the dislodged debris and excess fluid from the wound, enhancing the cleaning process.

6. Adjustable Parameters: Healthcare professionals can often adjust parameters such as pulsation frequency and pressure to suit the wound type and patient's condition.

7. Safety Features: Depending on the model, safety features might include pressure limits, alarms, and safeguards to prevent excessive pressure or fluid use.

8. Disposable Components: Many pulsed lavage systems use disposable components like tubing and nozzles to prevent cross-contamination between patients and reduce the risk of infection.

9. Portability: Some systems are designed to be portable, allowing for easy movement within healthcare facilities.
