Abstract

An irrigation tubing kit adaptable to reversibly attach to a faucet, a hose or a tubing comprises a flexible conduit having at one end of the conduit a coupling member in continuity with a filter member in continuity with a flow-regulating valve with variably adjustable aperture and dial, a semi-rigid tubing extension member for admission of chemicals and medications which is regulated by another flow-regulating valve with variably adjustable aperture and dial, a semi-rigid bypass port extension member, a disperser member at the end of the conduit, and a separate reservoir means of storing chemicals and medications adaptable to reversibly attach to the semi-rigid tubing extension member for the delivery of chemicals and medications into the conduit of the irrigation tubing kit. The flowing fluid originates from a faucet, a hose or a tubing and directly flows into the conduit by successively passing through the coupling member, filter member and flow-regulating valve and provides the force to generate filtered fluid to remove foreign bodies and debris from and to dispense the chemicals and medications from the reservoir means directly into the conduit to sterilize the wound, ulcer, laceration, breakdown of the skin and mucosa of the body.

A compact and open-system irrigation tubing kit comprises a flexible conduit having at one end of said conduit a filter member in continuity with a coupling member adaptable to reversibly attach said tubing kit to a faucet, a hose and a tubing in a bathroom, a field in a remote area, a clinic and outer space wherein the unidirectional flow of fluid from said faucet, hose and tubing directly into said conduit and the unidirectional flow of medications and chemicals directly into said conduit from a reservoir means adaptable to reversibly attach to a semi-rigid tubing extension member of said tubing kit beyond said filter member to the wound, ulcer, laceration, breakdown of the skin and mucosa is caused by the potential, hydrostatic and kinetic energies of said flowing fluid for the removal of foreign bodies and debris and the sterilization of said wound, ulcer, laceration, breakdown of the skin and mucosa of the body comprising:

said coupling member adaptable to reversibly connect said tubing kit to said faucet supplying said fluid;
said coupling member adaptable to reversibly connect said tubing kit to said hose supplying said fluid;
said coupling member adaptable to reversibly connect said tubing kit to said tubing supplying said fluid;
said filter member for eliminating and sequestering living organisms and impurity particles from said flowing fluid adaptable to reversibly attach to said coupling member;
flow-regulating valve member for regulating said flow of the filtered fluid;
said semi-rigid tubing extension member for coupling said reservoir means to said tubing kit;
separate reservoir means of storing chemicals and medications adaptable to reversibly attach to said semi-rigid tubing extension member;
flow-regulating valve means of regulating the dispensation of said chemicals and medications from said reservoir means;
semi-rigid bypass port extension member of said tubing kit;
and
disperser member at the end of said conduit.
