ABSTRACT:
A disposable pressure wound irrigation device is provided having a reservoir of cleansing solution disposed therein and a pressure chamber for providing a force upon the reservoir such that a liquid stream of cleansing solution is expelled at a constant pressure therefrom. Preferably, the propellant chamber will be provided with a regulator valve fitted within the pressure chamber for constantly monitoring the pressure which urges the chamber against the reservoir. An aimable outlet nozzle is provided through which the cleansing solution is expelled, the nozzle directing the flow of the cleansing solution to the wound surface. A release valve is further provided in order to selectively couple the nozzle with the reservoir, such that the cleansing solution may be evacuated therefrom through a passageway formed by a depression of the valve.
