Abstract

Device (100) for cleaning wounds with a showerhead head (11) having bristles (10) and having one or more passage openings (12) for a cleaning liquid, in particular sterile water, an isotonic liquid, an anesthetic such as lidocaine or a Antiseptic such as chlorhexidine, is provided, characterized by an embodiment as a bottle top, which is designed to be connected to a bottle (14).

Description

Technical area

The The invention relates to a device for cleaning wounds a showerhead-like brush head, with bristles as well with one or more openings for a cleaning liquid is provided.

wounds often have to get rid of dirt, splinters or the like be mechanically cleaned and then with appropriate damp Wipes are wiped. It is also necessary an antiseptic and / or anesthetic in the wound area applied.

It various surgical cleaning brushes have become known which can usually be used simultaneously for several applications are, namely for the cleaning of the hands and the forearms of the surgical staff, for wound cleansing and for cleaning medical instruments.

State of the art

From the DE 1 782 812 A a cleaning brush for surgical purposes is known. This includes bristles and a spongy part for receiving a cleaning fluid. The bristles are conically shaped. This brush is handy on the one hand. The disadvantage is that the sponge must be relatively often immersed in a liquid.

From the U.S. Patent 5,484,427 For example, there is known a device for medical use with a shower head with a brusque through which a liquid emerges from a brush area. The brush head can be connected by a liquid container by means of a hose. The brush head or the bristle arrangement has, for example, an oval shape. This device requires a variety of parts, for example for pressure regulation of the liquid, is relatively bulky and is also expensive.

The DE 10 2007 034 639 A1 describes a medical device for cleaning wounds with cleaning solutions. This includes a two-component tube with a tube attachment with a brush.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: Problem, Solution, advantages

Of the Invention is based on the object, a device for cleaning to create wounds of the generic kind, which allows a simple and convenient application and is also handy.

These The object is achieved by a device having the features of the claim 1 solved.

Of the The basic idea of the invention is a shower head designed to create a dishwashing brush, used for wound cleaning can be used and combine with the idea that the necessary rinsing liquid through a rinsing liquid bottle on the type of eye wash bottles for Can be made available.

The Invention idea is thus, a bottle top with a Make brush in the sense of a car wash brush. Here are in the brush head in addition to the bristles and water passage openings intended.

By The invention will provide a means for cleaning wounds provided, at the same time a corresponding liquid can be used to rinse the wound.

advantageous Further developments of the invention are in the subclaims characterized.

A advantageous development of the invention is the bristles to provide an arrangement such that the bristles are in a strike direction, in a sweeping direction over the Wound, soft and pliable and, so to speak, only cover the wound surface and that the bristles in a different strike direction, in particular offset by 90 °, are relatively stiff and hard to contaminate, To dissolve splinters, stones and the like.

Of the Brush head therefore preferably has two directions of use, namely a first cleaning direction to only the wound surface to paint and a second cleaning direction to impurities, To dissolve splinters, stones and the like.

Especially favorable is an oval brush arrangement and / or an oval bristle shape and a conical brush shape. It has been found that such shaped or arranged bristles have greater rigidity in one direction than in a strike direction offset by 90 °. Furthermore can only be applied to the wound surface the bristle tips a slight sweeping of the wound surface be assured while at a something stronger pressing the streaking out of impurities is relieved.

Around pushing out the rinsing liquid facilitate, it is useful if the brush head is connectable to a bottle of flexible material.

Preferably, the brush head with the Bottle screwed. However, a connection other than a screw connection, such as a bayonet connection, a plug connection, a safety connection or combinations thereof are conceivable.

Advantageous it is when the cleaning fluid bottle together is offered with the flushing device in one unit. This results in a wound cleaning system with a cleaning fluid, especially sterile water, an isotonic liquid, an anesthetic such as lidocaine or an antiseptic like chlorhexidine.

Best way to execute the invention

One Embodiment will become apparent from the drawings explained, with further advantageous developments of Invention and advantages thereof are described. It show in schematic representation:

1 a perspective view of a wound cleaning system,

2 a sectional view of a device according to the invention with bristles,

3 a view of the device from a bristle side,

4 an enlarged view of the bristles from the side, and

5 an enlarged view of the bristles seen from the bristle end.

1 shows a preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention 100 , This is a hygiene article and is used for cleaning wounds or for the medical, especially the surgical field.

The device 100 is provided with a shower head brush, which with bristles 10 is provided. 2 illustrates the head 11 , Furthermore, the device has 100 one or more passages 12 for a cleaning fluid. Sterile water, an isotonic fluid, an anesthetic such as lidocaine or an antiseptic such as chlorhexidine may be used to clean the wound.

As 1 is illustrated is the device 100 designed as a bottle top, with a bottle 13 is made connectable, and similar to an eye washable connectable. The device has a cap-like attachment part 14 in the shape of a bell. This one is to its open connection end 15 widens and shrinks towards the brush side. This shape has the advantage that the bottle 13 Brush-like can be moved back and forth without the Aufsetzteil 14 a wound touched with an edge. The bristle end of the device 100 may be rounded or arcuate or pointed. This end is relatively narrow.

The bottle 13 Made of flexible material that is easy to squeeze. The brush head 11 can with the bottle 13 be screwed.

3 shows an oval brush assembly that is optimal. Alternatively, another z. B. substantially rectangular brush assembly are selected with rounded corners, in which one side is longer than the other, so that a comparable effect arises.

3 shows two strokes A and B, which are offset by 90 °. Namely, the bristles are arranged to be soft and compliant in a first coating direction and relatively stiff and hard in another, second coating direction.

As 4 shows, point the bristles 10 a conical shape and rejuvenate towards the top.

Of course, a circular or square shape instead of an in 3 shown oval arrangement conceivable because each bristle, for example, may have an oval cross section, such as 5 shows.
