Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a reaction vessel (160) for producing a microfoam (10), to a cartridge (100) comprising said reaction vessel and to an automated device (1) receiving said cartridge for automatically producing a microfoam, preferably a medical microfoam, particularly a sclerosant foam for use in sclerotherapy. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for automatically producing a microfoam, preferably a medical microfoam, particularly a sclerosant foam for use in sclerotherapy as well as a microfoam obtainable by the inventive method and a computer program for use with the automated device. The therapeutic microfoam which is obtained with the invention concept device is technically superior to all microfoams of the prior art, and the foam quality is highly reproducable.
Cartridge for housing the producing of a therapeutical microfoam, comprising
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the housing body comprises, within the hollow interior, a foam extraction conduit fluidically coupling the reaction unit, preferably the foaming chamber, to the foam extraction port.
Cartridge according to the preceding claim, wherein the foam extraction conduit is at least partly constructed as a part of the reaction unit body.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the foam extraction port or a foam extraction conduit comprise a foam extraction filter.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the foam extraction port comprises a detachable foam extraction port sealing member and/or a foam extraction conduit valve.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the foam extraction port comprises a foam extraction reservoir.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the foam extraction port comprises a syringe dock.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the cartridge further comprises, within the reaction unit for producing a microfoam, within the foaming chamber or fluidically connected to the foaming chamber, a foaming element.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the cartridge further comprises, on its exterior, a fully closed surface, comprising, preferably consisting of, the housing body and multiple sealing members.
Cartridge according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the cartridge comprises, preferably within the hollow interior, an electronically readable identifier means, preferably selected from an RFID tag, a barcode, a data matrix code, a QR code or a different optical code.
An automated device for generating a therapeutical microfoam comprising a cartridge holder adapted to hold a replaceable cartridge according to any of the preceding claims.
