ABSTRACT:
An irrigation solution collection device is provided including an outer sheath formed of substantially water impervious material and an inner collecting and draining section formed of capillary matting material. The device includes proximal and distal ends with the collecting and draining section of capillary matting material being exposed at the proximal end for collecting irrigation solution from a selected site. This irrigation solution is then drawn through the sheath to the distal end for delivery to a collection receptacle. Preferably, the proximal end of the device is substantially U-shaped so as to surround the site from which irrigation solution is to be collected. Additionally, the flow rate of the capillary matting material through the sheath is increased by forming the collecting and draining section from a plurality of strips of capillary matting material that flare outwardly from substantially adjacent the proximal end to the distal end. In accordance with an additional aspect of the present invention, an irrigation system is provided. The system includes a mechanism for irrigating a selected site with an irrigation solution in conjunction with a collection device.
