ABSTRACT:
A method for cleansing operative tissue during a surgical procedure includes providing a cleansing liquid for application to the operative tissue in a region of surgical activity where the surgical procedure is being performed, continuously bathing the operative tissue in the region of surgical activity with the liquid and continuously evacuating the liquid from the region of surgical activity by drawing a vacuum through a perforate member covered with hydrophilic wicking material and having liquid spreading material interposed between the perforate member and the hydrophilic wicking material thereby to distribute the liquid to be evacuated as wicked by the wicking material over the surface of the perforate member. Apparatus for evacuating liquid from a region of surgical activity where a surgical procedure is being performed responsible to a drawn vacuum of preselected magnitude includes a perforate tubular ring, a fitting communicating with the interior of the ring and adapted for vacuum communicating connection to a source of the drawn vacuum, a liquid permeable textile covering in the form of a sleeve fitting around the exterior of the tubular ring and preferably nylon retaining rings for retaining the textile sleeve-like covering in fixed position around and respecting the ring.
