Pulse Lavage, Surgical Irrigation and Wound Debridement Systems

By Kaiser Medical Technology - Solomax 

Pulse Lavage is clinically proven to be essential for both Orthopaedic procedures and Wound Debridement. In Orthopaedic arthroplasty, bone bed cleaning using Pulse Lavage is a key factor to the long-term survival of the prothesis. 

Wound Debridement effectively removes >90% of the necrotic tissue, contaminants and bacteria. 

Pulse Lavage, Surgical Irrigation and Wound Debridement systems by Kaiser Medical Technology - Solomax is designed accordingly to complete these functions. 

The Pulse Lavage handpiece is ergonomic, low noise, lightweight, and easy to use, offering a low pressure option for soft tissue debridement. 

Concurrent Suction and Irrigation efficiently performs without flooding the "operative field". 

Pulse Lavage, Surgical Irrigation and Wound Debridement is supplied sterile packed and "ready to go out of the box". 

Product Features: 

•  Ready to go "out of the box" 

•  Sterile Packaged

•  Power options -  Battery or AC Powered which improves sustainability and waste reduction

•  High & Low saline flow operation 

•  Outflow  & Suction integrated tubing 

Clinical Evidence

"The routine use of Pulsed or Pressurized Lavage appears to be the single most important factor in preparing the bone cement bed. It is essential in achieving adequate and uniform penetration of bone cement and a sound cement - bone interface" 

"After pressurized lavage, the cement- bone composite layer was 50% - 70% as strong as the bone cement and always stronger than the adjacent cancellous bone. 

This situation would seem to offer the best chance of maintaining a stable mechanical environment and allowing osseointegration to take place. 

since initial fixation strength is considered a key to long-term survival of the implants, the use of pulsed lavage should be regarded as a mandatory preparation step when cementing tibial components"

Study - Suction assisted pulse lavage :" Randomised controlled study comparing its efficacy with conventional dressings in healing chronic wounds “ .

"Concluded - Wounds treated with pulse lavage system significantly reduced in size , had better control of bacterial contamination and had overall   faster healing rates , nearly 50 % earlier than conventionally treated wounds . This implies shorter hospital stays and a reduced burden on the   patient and hospital . The efficacy of pulse lavage in the treatment of chronic wounds as indicated by this study will help the clinician to   considerably reduce the morbidity of infection , pain , humliation and depression associated with these chronic wounds .
