System for flushing a wound and/or a body cavity, in particular the pericardial cavity

A flushing system configured to flush a wound and/or a body cavity of a patient, wherein the system comprises:

• an infusion liquid outlet to connect a first tube having an infusion liquid lumen to guide a flow of infusion liquid from the system to the wound and/or the body cavity,
• an effusion liquid inlet to connect to a second tube having an effusion liquid lumen to guide the effusion liquid flow from the wound and/or the body cavity to the system,
• a buffer container having a buffer volume and comprising a buffer inlet to receive effusion liquid from the wound and/or the body cavity and a first buffer outlet to output the received effusion liquid, and
• a flow rate control system to control the flow rate of the effusion liquid output from the buffer container, wherein the flow rate control system comprises:
• a control unit to provide one or more control signals, and
• a first pump device for pumping effusion liquid from the buffer container to one or more effusion liquid container at an effusion liquid flow rate, wherein the effusion liquid flow rate is adjustable by the one or more control signals of the control unit,
• wherein the buffer container comprises a clot trap configured for preventing clots included in the effusion liquid being received from the wound and/or the body cavity from exiting the buffer container via the first buffer outlet, and/or wherein the buffer container is configured for air-liquid-separation, and/or configured with a safety bypass, and/or configured for receiving liquid gushes.
