ABSTRACT:
A closed system for percutaneous irrigation and drainage of cavities containing abscesses, sterile fluid collections or hematomas includes an irrigant reservoir; an irrigation tube connects the reservoir to a first port of a first three-ported connector adapted to fluidically connect two of the three ports at a time. A syringe is connected to the second port of the first connector, and an extension tube connects the third port of the first connector to a first port of a second three-ported connector adapted to fluidically connect two of the three ports at a time. The distal end of a drainage catheter is adapted to be placed in the cavity. The proximal end of the catheter is connected to the second port of the second connector. A drainage tube is connected to the third port of the second connector to a means for collecting fluids draining from the cavity.
