Abstract
This document provides devices, systems, and methods for treating patients with wounds. For example, this document provides a multi-lumen tubular device that can deliver wound irrigation, wound suction, and medicinal treatment through the lumens of the tubular device.
Claims20
A multi-lumen tubular irrigation device for treating a patient with a wound, the device comprising:
- an elongate flexible tube, the flexible tube defining a first lumen that is configured to deliver irrigation fluid to the wound and a second lumen that is configured to provide suction to the wound;
- and
- a distal portion coupled to the flexible tube at a distal hub of the distal portion, the distal portion including at least one fenestrated irrigate delivery tube extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the first lumen, and the distal portion including two or more fenestrated suction tubes extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the second lumen.
A medical device system for treating a patient with a wound, the system comprising:
- a multi-lumen tubular irrigation device, the device comprising:
- an elongate flexible tube, the flexible tube defining a first lumen that is configured to deliver irrigation fluid to the wound and a second lumen that is configured to provide suction to the wound;
- and
- a distal portion coupled to the flexible tube at a distal hub of the distal portion, the distal portion including at least one fenestrated irrigate delivery tube extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the first lumen, and the distal portion including two or more fenestrated suction tubes extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the second lumen;
- an irrigation fluid source in fluid communication with the first lumen;
- and
- a suction source in fluid communication with the second lumen.

A method for treating a patient with a wound, the method comprising:
- attaching a multi-lumen tubular irrigation device to the patient, the device comprising:
- an elongate flexible tube, the flexible tube defining a first lumen that is configured to deliver irrigation fluid to the wound and a second lumen that is configured to provide suction to the wound;
- and
- a distal portion coupled to the flexible tube at a distal hub of the distal portion, the distal portion including at least one fenestrated irrigate delivery tube extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the first lumen, and the distal portion including two or more fenestrated suction tubes extending from the distal hub and in fluid communication with the second lumen;
- sealing a wound covering onto the patient and over the distal portion of the device;
- delivering irrigation fluid to the wound via the fenestrated irrigate delivery tube;
- and
- delivering suction to the wound via the two or more fenestrated suction tubes.
