A protective sleeve () for an endoscopy device having a tubular hollow body () extending along a longitudinal axis (L) having a distal opening () on a distal end () insertable into a human or animal body and having a proximal opening () at the proximal end () opposite to the distal end (), characterized in that the hollow body () has a holding arrangement () in the region of the proximal opening () for holding the protective sleeve ().

Protective sleeve

The invention relates to a vacuum sponge unit for use in human or animal bodies, comprising a fluid collecting member, in particular a sponge unit, and a fluid communication member, in particular a drainage tube, which is disposed at least partially in the fluid collecting member and is connected in fluidic communication to the fluid collecting member. In order to improve known devices, the inventions proposed developing the vacuum sponge unit such that the fluid collecting member has a channel for guiding a guide member, in particular a guide wire, and/or a delivery member, in particular a probe unit and/or an endoscope, through the fluid collecting member.

Vacuum sponge drainage

The invention relates to a vacuum treatment array having at least one open-pored contact element, by way of which a negative pressure and/or suction can be generated in a body cavity, wherein the open-pored contact element is configured, at least in sections, in the manner of a tube, having an outer and/or inner boundary surface rotating around a tube axis, at least in part.

A device for intrauterine vacuum therapy includes a pear-shaped fluid-collecting element and a fluid-communicating element. The fluid-collecting element defines an inlet opening at the proximal end and a tubular cavity for receiving a removable guide-rod during transvaginal insertion into a uterine cavity. The fluid-communicating element has a perforated distal end fixed within the fluid-collecting element outside the tubular cavity and has a proximal end adapted for connection to a vacuum-generating system. A method of treating an intrauterine wound or infection includes transvaginally inserting a drain into a uterine cavity and applying a negative pressure to the drain such that the uterus collapses and the inner wall is aspirated against the drain.

Drainage system and vacuum pump for intrauterine vacuum therapy

The invention relates to a vacuum sponge unit () for use in human or animal bodies, comprising a fluid collecting member (), in particular a sponge unit, and a fluid communication member (), in particular a drainage tube, which is disposed at least partially in the fluid collecting member () and is connected in fluidic communication to the fluid collecting member (). In order to improve known devises, the inventions proposed developing the vacuum sponge unit () such that the fluid collecting member () has a channel () for guiding a guide member (), in particular a guide wire, and/or a delivery member (), in particular a probe unit and/or an endoscope, through the fluid collecting member ().

A vacuum system is described for endoscopic intracavity, intraluminal or intracorporeal vacuum therapy, for aspirating body fluids, wound secretions or gases from a hollow volume, such as a body cavity, a hollow organ, a tissue abscess or an intestinal lumen, particularly in the production of a temporary endoscopic closure of an intestinal lumen. Based on this, many embodiments of an endoscopy arrangement are described.
