Abstract
A disposable basin for extremity procedures, irrigation and lavage in the operating room, treatment clinic or ward allows the extremity to rest comfortably, safely, and securely inside the basin, allowing the surgeon, physician, clinician, and or provider ease of access within a contained protective barrier. Contaminated fluid safely and efficiently drains into an integrated suction trough via the intrinsic design of the basin, resulting in decreased exposure to pathogens, containment of contamination, ease of execution and disposal, and cost savings.
Claims20
An article for irrigating extremities, comprising:
- a bottom comprising a suction port and a series of troughs;
- a plurality of sidewalls extending from the bottom to define a basin and an open top, wherein at least one sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls defines an entry channel configured to receive an extremity;
- and
- an extremity resting surface extending from the entry channel and into the basin, the extremity resting surface having a first edge opposite a second edge, such that the extremity resting surface slopes downward from the first edge to the second edge, wherein:
- the extremity resting surface transitions to a first platform of the series of troughs,
- the first platform and the second edge of the extremity resting surface transition to an intermediate platform of the series of troughs,
- the intermediate platform transition to a bottom trough of the series of troughs, and
- the bottom trough is configured to transport one or both of:
- materials or fluids to the suction port.
An article for irrigating extremities, comprising:
- a bottom fluidly connected to a suction port;
- a plurality of sidewalls extending from the bottom to define a basin and an open top, wherein at least one sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls defines an entry channel configured to receive an extremity;
- an extremity resting surface extending from the entry channel and into the basin, the extremity resting surface having a first edge opposite a second edge, wherein the extremity resting surface slopes downward from the first edge to the second edge;
- and
- a plurality of troughs within the bottom, wherein the plurality of troughs have a plurality of levels and a plurality of sloping surfaces such that fluids are configured to flow off the extremity resting surface to the suction port.
