Description
Summary:The outflow tube may be blocked during continuous irrigation for the treatment of septic joints. Although multiple solutions have been applied to clear the blockage, there are still many disadvantages. The success rate is difficult to guarantee, and bacteria may enter the joint cavity and cause secondary infection. We designed an improved irrigation and drainage system that avoids these disadvantages and is particularly convenient to use. In addition, the improved system provides more thorough lavage and drainage and prevents joint adhesion. [Display omitted]
