ABSTRACT:
A stomach lavage apparatus for the introduction of a highly absorbent antidote solution, such as activated charcoal, into the gastric cavity for the purpose of absorbing or otherwise counteracting a digested poison present therein, is described. The lavage apparatus is a completely closed system so that the antidote solution is never exposed to the atmosphere and there is no risk of spilling the antidote solution. The present invention thus comprises a flexible container for the antidote solution, the container being connectable to a lavage conduit leading into the gastric cavity by threading the container into a fitting provided with an internal spike. This causes the spike to puncture a rupturable seal provided in an exit port of the container, and the container is then squeezed to express the antidote solution therefrom and into the lavage conduit for introduction into the gastric cavity. The fitting is preferably provided with another branch for connecting to a second container holding a flushing solution, such as water and the like.
