APPARATUS FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE TREATMENT AND INSTILLATION OF WOUNDS
The invention relates to an apparatus for negative pressure treatment and instillation of wounds. The apparatus comprises a dressing for covering a wound in a fluid-tight manner, a drain line for extracting fluid from the wound, a negative pressure unit for generating negative pressure in the drain line, an instillation line for providing an instillation fluid, an optional rinse line for providing a rinse fluid, and a main line connected to the dressing. The main line (60) comprises a single lumen and can be connected via a connection element (64) to two of the following lines, drain line (20), instillation line (40), and rinse line (50). The invention also relates to a method for operating this apparatus.

A breast shield (10) for expressing human breast milk. The breast shield (10) comprises an outer housing (12) and a flexible inner liner (14) within the outer housing (12). In use, with the breast shield (10) applied to a breast, the inner liner (14) is in contact with the surface of both the areola and nipple of the breast. The breast shield further comprises an outer chamber (20) between the outer housing (12) and the inner liner (14) and an inner chamber (18) within the inner liner (14). In use, the inner and outer chambers (18, 20) are subjectable to differential pressure and the differential pressure is operable to cause the inner liner (14) to exert a massaging effect against the surface of both the areola and nipple of a breast.

A method for operating a breastpump unit (10) for expression of human breastmilk and a breastpump unit (10). The breastpump unit (10) having a pump assembly (26) for generating vacuum pressure, a reservoir (24) for receiving breastmilk, and a breast shield (11) for sealing application to a breast to be pumped. The breast shield (11) has a flexible inner chamber (15) for receiving a nipple of the breast and a second chamber (16), in particular an outer chamber extending about the outside of the inner chamber (15) and which at least partially surrounds a nipple that is inserted into the inner chamber (15). The method comprising a cycle that comprising evacuating the inner chamber (15) and the reservoir (24) by the pump assembly (26) to a first vacuum pressure, connecting the second chamber (16) to the pump assembly (26) and to the reservoir (24) and evacuating the second chamber (16) to a second vacuum pressure, in which the second vacuum pressure is higher or greater than the first vacuum pressure, and at least partly releasing the vacuum from the second chamber (16) to a lower vacuum pressure, in particular lower than the first vacuum pressure.
