Problems solved by technology

Anecdotal reports of the use of a Yankee suction connector in these situations suggest that this "blockage, remove connector, replace connector" process can occur more than 50 times in a single, routine hip replacement, totaling , creates significant disruption for surgeons and medical staff, significantly prolongs the time a patient is in surgery (and under anesthesia), and increases the overall cost of surgery
[0004] Therefore, this disadvantage of the Yankers suction fitting can be detrimental to the patient's health, to his chances of a positive outcome, and to the financial bottom line of the patient and / or the hospital

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present invention includes a Yankee suction system with blockage removal and related methods of clearing a blocked or occluded Yankee suction fitting. The systems and methods described herein are designed for use with commercially available Youngker's suction fittings, preferably disposable. These joints are available from many suppliers around the world and come in a variety of sizes and bulbous shapes. As used herein, the term "Younger's suction fitting" refers to these prior art devices.

[0018] Because the system and method can be used with these connectors, the practitioner of the method / operator of the system need not change his or her technique when using the Younger suction connector. Essentially no "learning curve" is necessary for the operator, and thus, the systems and methods described herein can be used in any surgical procedure using a conventional, state-of-the-art Yankee suction connector catheter (catheter) or device. or program seamlessly.

Abstract

Contemplated within the scope of the invention are Yankauer suction systems having clog removal functionality and related methods. Specifically, the system, for use with a Yankauer suction tip, includes a medial tube that is hollow and has a coupling end and a distal outlet. The coupling end is connectable to a Yankauer suction tip and the distal outlet is in fluid communication with each of a flow pump and a suction source. Also included are systems having a medial tube that is hollow and comprises a coupling end, wherein the coupling end is connectable to a Yankauer suction tip; a suction conduit that extends distally from the medial tube to a suction source, wherein the suction conduit is in fluid communication with the suction source and the coupling end; and a flow conduit that extends distally from the medial tube and is in fluid communication with a flow pump and the coupling end.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] Since its development by Dr. Charles Yankauer in 1907, the Yankauer suction connector has become the most commonly used suction device in the world. Typically, it is used by connecting it to a tube and a suction source and applied by a surgeon or dentist to suck fluid and debris from a surgical site or body orifice (ie, airway or mouth). It is used in surgical, dental and veterinary procedures because its design allows for the efficient suction of unwanted fluid and debris without significant damage to surrounding tissue. [0002] Typically, a Yankee suction fitting is made of metal or ridged or semi-ridged plastic and includes a large suction portion with a large orifice surrounded by a bulbous head. The suction portion of the Yankee suction fitting is unitary to an elongated suction tube which is grasped by the operator to control suction where required; and at its non-suction fitting end connectable to Suction source. In current practic...
