- a tapered tube is attachable at the splash-cap outlet port so that the purge valve can be brought into communication with a sucking device.
- This invention relates broadly to surgical drainage devices and more particularly to surgical evacuators suitable for draining wounds or infected areas of a patients body.
- the device described herein is similar to the evacuator device described in US. Pat. No. 3,779,563 to Tussey et al., and related devices are also described in US. Pat. Nos: 3,] 15,138 to McElvenny et al.; 3,376,868 to Mondiadis; and, 3,572,340 to Lloyd et al. As was generally outlined in the Tussey et a]. patent, the contents of many prior-art evacuator units become relatively quickly infected because they are open to outside environment for varying periods of time during drainage as well as while activating negative pressures. This allows room air to move in and out of these units. The blood, serum, urine or lymph fluids that are contained in such units are excellent culture media and minimal bacteria contamination leads to rapid bacterial growth and severe contamination.
- a resilient portion of most surgical evacuator bags be compressible and have sufficient memory characteristics to thereafter expand and cause a negative pressure inside the surgical evacuators.
- Such an expansible portion should have the following characteristics:
- a surgicalevacuator purge-valve closure member includes a ngld ferromagnetic portion and a resilient membrane portion.
- the rigid ferromagnetic portion is attracted to a magnitizable valve seat.
- the resilient membrane portion is attached to the bottom side of the rigid ferro magnetic portion in an annular attachment area so that the unattached portion of the membrane extends from said annular attachment area across an exhaust port and is in contact with a valve seat when the valveclosure member is in a closed postion.
- the rigid ferro magnetic portion has a breather hole over the unattached portion of the membrane.
- a resilient membrane of a flap-type purge valve is impregnated with magnetic particles rather than being attached to a rigid portion.
- a resilient portion of an evacuator bag is cupshaped and has a mouth located approximately at the widest portion of the cup-shaped portion.
- a rigid portion of the evacuator bag covers the mouth of the resilient, cup-shaped portion.
- the resilient, cup-shaped portion is constructed of a material having sufficient memory reliability such that after a bottom thereof is pressed toward the rigid portion covering the mouth, the bottom seeks to move away from the rigid portion arid thereby causes a negative pressure inside the evacuator bag.
- inlet ports There are two inlet ports, each being plugged by tapered plugs which may be cut in cross-section to allow attachment of various size tubes thereto.
- a splash-guard cap covers the purge valve.
- the splashguard cap has an outlet port which can be plugged.
- the outlet port is attachable to a tapered tube which can be brought into communication with a suction source.
- the tapered tube is integral with the splash-guard cap so that they form a single unit.
- the resilient, cup-shaped portion of the evacuator bag is attached to the rigid portion by means of an annular trough formed in the rigid portion. Also, an annula'r" wall formed on the rigid portion encloses much of the resilient, cup-shaped portion.

- FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a cutaway view of the purge valve portion of the surgical evacuator of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4--4 in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is an isometric view of a surgical evacuator according to principles of this invention as it is being purged.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of an alternate embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 1 depicts a surgical evacuator 11 which includes: a surgical evacuator bag 13, with associated valves and seals; tapered inlet plugs 15; and a splash guard cap 17 with an associated tapered tube 19.
- the surgical evacuator bag 13 includes a resilient, circular, cup-shaped portion 21 and a circular rigid portion 23.
- the resilient, cupshaped portion 21, the tapered inlet plugs 15, the splash guard cap 17 and the tapered tube 19 are constructed of a clear vinyl plastic and the circular, rigid portion 23 is constructed of a clear styrene plastic. Both vinyl and styrene plastics have transparent qualities which allow an operator to observe operation of the evacuator.
- a flexible hanger 24, having an eye therein, is attached to the rigid portion 23 to allow the unit to be pinned to a bed or a patients clothing.
- the vinyl of the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 has sufficient memory reliability that when it is compressed, as shown in dashed lines 25 in FIG. 2, it seeks to return to its original, solid line, position, thereby creating a negative pressure inside the surgical-evacuator bag 13.
- Ribs 27 formed on the interior surface of the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 enhance this memory reliability.
- a single flap valve 33 is mounted underneath the inlet ports 29a and b by means of a pin 31, which is integral with the circular, rigid portion 23.
- the pin 31 is a single square peg.
- the flap valve 33 prevents reflux of the contents of the unit into drainage tubing. In this regard, whenever the unit is on negative pressure, the valve will open and allow free drainage into the unit. However, when the unit is purged, increased pressure within the unit forces the flap 33 against a valve seat 35 formed on the circular, rigid portion 23.
- a purge valve 37 shown in detail in FIG. 3, it includes a closure member 39 formed of a magnet 41 and a resilient membrane 43 and a valve seat comprised of a ferromagnetic washer 45 and a part 47 of the circular, rigid portion 23.
- the resilient membrane 43 is mounted to the circular, rigid portion 23 by a square peg 49 which is integral with the circular, rigid portion 23.
- the magnet 41 is attached to the upper surface of the resilient membrane 43.
- the resilient membrane 43 covers an exhaust port 51.
- the magnet 41 is attracted to the ferromagnetic washer 45 which normally maintains the closure member 39 close to the valve seat, even when fluids are being evacuated from the surgical-evacuator bag 13 through the exhaust port 51.
- the annular area at which the resilient membrane 43 is attached to the magnet 41 is beyond the periphery of the exhaust port 51 so that the resilient membrane 43 is pulled down tightly over the sharp edge of the exhaust port 51 for accomplishing reliable air tight closing of this port upon completion of purging.
- the resilient membrane 43 is constructed of latex rubber and it is glued to the magnet 41; however, these features are not critical to the invention and it is felt that other equivalents could be used.
- the ferromagnetic washer 45 is an iron alloy and is coated with cadmium to prevent rust-
- On the top surface of the circular, rigid portion 23, surrounding the purge valve 37, is an integral elevated rim 53 which protects the purge valve and serves as a mount for the splash-guard cap 17.
- the splash-guard cap 17 has four main purposes. Firstly, the closure member 39, being held close to the valve seat by magnetic forces during purging, forces fluid out of the exhaust port 51 sideways. The splash guard directs this drainage in a rather straight downward direction. Secondly, the splash guard cap 17 also allows the unit to be closed to outside air by means of an integral plug 55, should the closure member 37 be held open by a blood clot or the like. Thirdly, by plugging the splash guard cap, if a patient accidentally rolls over on the unit, the unit will not be purged inadvertantly. Fourthly, the splash guard cap 17 serves as a mount for the tapered tube 19 to which an external suction source can be applied.
- the tapered tube 19 is separate from the splash guard cap 17 however, in an alternate embodiment described below it is formed integral therewith. In either case, a plug, such as plug 55, is employed to close off an outlet of the splash-guard cap 17.
- a small calibrated well 57 is formed on the upper side of the circular, rigid portion 23 which includes calibration indicia 59 thereon for measuring small amounts of evacuated fluids.
- the large circumference portion of the circular, rigid portion 23 is also calibrated in terms of larger measurements, however, these calibrations are not shown in the drawings.
- the tapered inlet plugs 15 are mounted on the circular, rigid portion 23 so as to lead into the inlet ports 29a and b. Each of these plugs is designed so that it has a tapered lumen 61, FIG. 2. This allows a doctor to clip of the plugs at any of three locations to allow a snug air tight fit for three different size drainage tubes. Thus, the surgical evacuator 11 can be used to drain two diverse body areas having diverse volume requirements.
- a surface 63 of the circular, rigid portion 23 leading into the calibrated well 57 is tapered so that when the surgical evacuator 11 is purged, as depicted in FIG. 5, the unit is virtually completely drained of contents.
- a groove 65 Formed about the perimeter of the tapered portion 63 on the bottom side of the circular, rigid portion 23 is a groove 65, FIG. 2, into which the outer edge 67 of the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 is inserted.
- the groove 65 has a rounded bottom and the outer edge 67 is rounded so that when it is inserted into the groove there is a locking action which gives an airtight fit.
- an annular wall 69 of the rigid portion 23 extends along the outer surface of the resilient, cupshaped portion 21 so that when the resilient cupshaped portion 21 is compressed, it presses outwardly against the annular wall 69 to increase the seal between the resilient portion 21 and the circular, rigid portion 23.
- the annular wall 69 also serves to protect the resilient, cup-shaped portion from being inadvertantly compressed to some degree.
- the resilient, cupshaped portion 21 is adhered to the circular. rigid portion 23 at the groove 65 by means of a solvent type glue. In other embodiments, it is adhered by sonic welding or induction heat sealing. The important feature is that the two units are sealed so that a patient does not inadvertently separate the two halves.
- one of the tapered inlet plugs is cut so that it fits the proper-size evacuation tube and the tube is inserted therein.
- both of the tapered inlet plugs 15 are cut and attached to the proper-size tubes.
- the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 is compressed to force air out of the purge port 51 and is then released.
- the closure member 39 prevents air from flowing in the purge port 51, thus, as the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 seeks to return to its solid line shape, FIG. 2, a negative pressure is applied through the flap valve 33 to the inlet ports 29a and b.
- the surgical evacuator 11 When it is desired to purge the surgical evacuator 11, it is turned upside down as depicted in FIG. 5. In this position, the volume of fluid in the surgical evacuator 11 can be read on the calibration indicia 59 of the calibrated well 57 if the amount of fluid is small and on other calibration indicia (not shown) if the volume of fluid is large.
- the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 is then compressed. forcing the closure member 39 of the purge valve 37 open to purge fluids from the unit. Once purging is completed, the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 is released to again apply negative pressure to the inlet ports 29a and b. Thus, the unit is purged and activated in one action.
- FIG. 6 depicts alternate embodiments for some of the features of the device of FIGS. 1-5.
- a purge-valve closure member 71 comprises a resilient membrane that has been impregnated with magnetic particles.
- the resilient membrane 71 is held tightly against a valve seat 73 by magnetic attraction between the magnetic particles and a ferro magnetic washer 75.
- the resilient membrane is again free to be sucked into the valve seat 73 to some extent to form a good seal therewith.
- the resilient membrane is made of vinyl.
- a splash-guard cap 77 in another alternate embodiment includes a tapered tube 79 as an integral part thereof to replace the separate tube 19 of the FIG. 1 embodiment.
- An external sucking device (not shown) can be attached to the tapered tube 79.
- a splash-cap plug 81 also integral with the splash-guard cap 77, fits into the end of the tapered tube 79 for a similar purpose as the integral plug 55 of FIG. 1.
- a surgical evacuator of this invention is relatively easy to assemble and should be contamination free for relatively long periods of time. This device is particularly attractive because it does not have to be uncoupled from patients to be purged. Further, there are no plugs to remove for drainage, nor does the unit need to be opened to activate a negative pressure.
- the unit may be coupled to two diverse-size drainage tubes.
- the unit allows an operator to monitor the volume of drainage.
- closure member of the purge valve provides positive, fast and reliable closing of the purge outlet upon completion of purging.
- the arrangement of the resilient, cup-shaped portion 21 is uncomplicated. easy to assemble, protectable from inadvertant purging and easy to actuate.
- the splash guard cap 17 directs fluid flow, allows an operator an additional means of closing a purge port 51, and allows a suction device to be attached to the surgical evacuator 11 for aiding in purging.
