Definitions
- the invention relates to irrigation of a body, say wound/surgical irrigation or irrigation of a hollow internal body organ, particularly a bladder of a patient, and includes a catheter, method and system for such irrigation, which term it is to be understood includes washout of debris from the bladder being irrigated.
- Bladder washout and irrigation is often used for the removal of debris from a bladder, in order to ameliorate the effects of build up of such debris, stone formation and encrustation, which can lead to blockage.
- Catheterisation is used in the management of urinary dysfunction in a large number of patients. About 4% of the community nursing caseload is attributed to patients undergoing long-term catheterisation (LTC) and about 10% of patients admitted to hospitals will have a urinary catheter inserted. Applications of urinary catheterisation are varied with reasons for short-term catheterisation (STC) including post-operative urinary drainage, monitoring of urinary output during acute illness and relief of urinary retention. LTC is considered in the management of long term urinary dysfunction such as intractable urinary incontinence, neurological disorders or bladder outlet obstruction.
- Bladder washout and irrigation has been practised, particularly via a urethral catheter.
- a bladder washout usually involves delivering a given volume of washout solution into the bladder via a catheter, often by means of a solution bag or syringe connected to a catheter, with the bladder subsequently having the liquid drawn out or allowing the solution and debris to drain out into a bag.
- Bladder irrigation consists of simultaneous delivery and drainage into and out from the bladder.
- irrigation and washout there can be a wide range of flow rates. Irrigation is currently used in the belief that it clears blood and light debris from the bladder following surgical procedures.
- a catheter for irrigating an internal hollow body organ with an irrigant comprising a lumen for entry of an irrigant, and a lumen for exit of irrigant and debris from the organ.
- a method of irrigating a hollow internal body organ comprising the steps of inserting a catheter into the organ, positioning the distal end of the catheter a desired distance from the interior boundary wall of the organ, passing irrigant from a source thereof along one lumen of the catheter for entry into the organ, and exiting irrigant and debris from the bladder along the other lumen.
- the irrigant may be passed under gravity into the organ.
- the irrigant may be passed into the organ by a suitable device such as a pump.
- a system for irrigating a hollow internal body organ comprising a catheter and a source of irrigant.
- the lumens may have an orifice at a distal end of the catheter. This provides for ease and efficiency of use.
- the orifice may consist of an open distal end of the one lumen at a distal end of the catheter. This provides a relatively simple construction.
- an orifice spaced from the distal end giving into the other lumen, and the orifices of the respective lumens may be closely adjacent one another. This provides for efficiency of entry and exit of irrigant.
- the one lumen may be a lumen adapted to provide entry of irrigant to or exit from the organ.
- the other lumen may be a lumen adapted to provide exit of irrigant from or entry thereof to the organ. This again provides for flexibility in use.
- the two lumens may be substantially parallel with their respective orifices being defined by an open distal end of the catheter. This is a relatively simple construction, particularly if the two lumens may be coaxial.
- the two lumens may alternatively be longitudinally axially offset.
- the orifice spaced from the distal end may comprise a plurality of orifices spaced longitudinally of the catheter and giving into one or the other lumen.
- the orifices may be at substantially 90 ° to the length of the catheter, or alternatively the orifices may be at about 60 ° to the length of the catheter.
- the orifice When inclined, the orifice may be directed into the catheter at an angle towards the distal end thereof.
- the spacer may comprise an extension of a boundary wall of the catheter. This is a relatively simple construction, as is an alternative where the spacer may comprise a separate spacer element adapted to be mounted on the distal end of the catheter.
- the catheter may be made integrally in one piece.
- the angle of entry of the irrigant towards debris in the organ may be in the range 0 ° to 25 ° from the vertical.
- the distance of the orifice of the other lumen may be 0 ⁇ 20mm from the debris. This provides for efficient washout.
- the distance may be about 8mm.
- the entry flow rate of irrigant may be up to about 650 ml/min, suitably about 150 ml/min. This again provides for an efficient method.
- the source of irrigant may be connected to the entry lumen.

- a catheter 1 for irrigating an internal hollow body organ with an irrigant comprising a lumen 2 for entry of an irrigant, and a lumen 3 for exit of an irrigant and debris 4 (Fig. 14) from the organ.
- the catheter 1 shown in the drawings is a dual lumen catheter, in other words there are only two lumens, one of the lumens having an orifice 5 at a distal end 6 of the catheter which consists of an open distal end of the one lumen at the distal end of the catheter.
- the other lumen 3 also has an orifice giving into it, the orifices 5, 7 of the respective lumens 2, 3 being closely adjacent one another.
- the one lumen 2 can be used for entry of irrigant into the hollow body organ, in the embodiments a bladder, or for exit therefrom of irrigant and debris, and that the other lumen 3 can be used vice versa, depending on the role of the one lumen.
- the one lumen can be used for entry of irrigant or exit of irrigant and debris from the bladder, and the other lumen can be used for exit of irrigant and debris from the bladder or entry of irrigant thereto for irrigation and washout.
- the respective flows are indicated by I, for entry and R for exit and washout in the Figs.
- Fig. 1 and 1 A and 2 show a typical embodiment, formed integrally of polymeric or other suitable material such as stainless steel by a suitable forming process such as moulding and/or extrusion or the like.
- the catheter 1 is a dual or bi-lumen catheter having a large diameter lumen 3 for exit of irrigant and debris for washout and a smaller one lumen 2 for entry of irrigant.
- the catheter 1 has a handle or finger grip 8 with inlet 9 and outlet 10 ports at a position remote from the distal end, for connection with a bladder management system.
- the exit from the lumen 2 is a cut-off part or open orifice at the distal end, as is the entry to the lumen 3 for exit of irrigation and debris, passage into the lumen being enhanced by the provision of through bores or eyelets 1 1 .
- the area of the lumen 2 IS 2.85mm 2 and that of the lumen 3 8.095mm 2 .
- Figs. 3(a) - 6(b) show embodiments either of bi- or dual-lumen catheters, 30, 40, 50, 60 for use in, and according to, the invention.
- the two lumens 2, 3 are coaxial, with the entry and exit being formed by a cut-off open end of the catheter.
- the lumen 2 is open to the bladder at the distal end, to provide an entry (Fig. 4(a)) or exit (Fig. 4(b)), while passage into or out of the lumen is by spaced through orifices 41 the axis of which are substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the catheter.
- Figs. 5(a), 5(b), 6(a) and 6(b) the respective passage into or out of the lumen 3 is by through orifices 51 , 61 which are inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the catheter 50.
- the angle of inclination is at about 60 ° to the longitudinal axis of the catheter.
- the distance 'S' between the centres of the orifices in Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) is 10mm.
- the length 'x', Fig. 1 is 130mm.
- FIGs. 7, 7(a) and 7(b) show an experimental apparatus 70 simulating a bladder irrigation and washout system embodying the invention.
- a spherical transparent flask 71 represents the bladder, to enable visual observation of the disturbance of the debris 4, shown in Fig 14. Only one apparatus is shown, but in experiments, two sizes of flask 71 were used, one, model A, being 80mm in diameter (about 270 ml in volume) and in model B the flask being 60mm in diameter, (about 1 10 ml in volume).
- model A shown in Figs.
- the flask 71 had one central 72 and two oblique ports 73, 74 the central port 72 being used for a tube 75, simulating the catheter in having two lumens, one of the oblique ports 74 being blanked off.
- model B the flask had only one oblique port in addition to the central port.
- the oblique port 73 was used to house a calibrated pressure transducer 76 (0 - 0.35 bar gauge), in order to monitor internal bladder pressure during experiments.
- a calibrated pressure transducer 76 (0 - 0.35 bar gauge), in order to monitor internal bladder pressure during experiments.
- Fig. 7 For both flasks 71 , tap water was used as the fluid medium or irrigant since its density (993 kg/m 3 at 37 ° C) does not differ significantly from that of urine (1016 to 1022 kg/m 3 ).
- Flow rate through the irrigation tube 75 and into the flask, or bladder model 71 was controlled by pressure head and a choke (adjustable constriction) and was monitored by a suitable flow meter.
- a standard irrigation bag was used as the reservoir for the irrigant.
- a pressure head of approximately 1 .6m of water was used to obtain the volume flow rates required, the change in the pressure head during tests (approximately 60mm of water) was therefore small in proportion; this ensured that flow rate remained essentially constant, to within ⁇ 3%, during each test.
- the irrigant fluid, and any suspended particles, on the out-flow side of the irrigation tube was directed onto a piece of filter paper in one of 3 vacuum assisted filter funnels 77 (Fig. 7) . All tests were performed at room temperature (between 1 8 and 24° C). In some tests the flask was immersed in a rectangular perspex tank containing water to eliminate optical distortion.
- the irrigation tube embodiments of Figs. 3(a) - 6(b) were tested. All consist of a stainless steel outer tube with an internal diameter (i.d.) of 5.84mm, and a coaxial stainless steel inner tube with an i.d. of 3.2 mm, with both tubes having wall thicknesses of 0.5 mm.
- the inner and outer tubes were brazed together at the "T" configuration end.
- the inner tube was used (a) for in-flow 'I' and (b) for out-flow 'R'.
- Glass beads 0.21 2 - 0.300 mm in diameter and density of 2500 kg/m 3 were used to simulate hard dense debris in the bladder.
- the collection system comprised 3 vacuum assisted filter funnels (one is shown in Fig. 7), used sequentially with Whatman grade 1 filter paper (qualitative, medium fast).
- the model bladder 71 was filled with water, 5 gm of dry glass beads were then added. The irrigation/washout tube and model bladder were then positioned and oriented as required. Flow of the irrigation fluid under gravity was started by opening a valve (not shown) and continued for a maximum of 1 2 minutes. The outflow 'R' from the model bladder 71 was redirected to a different filter funnel at 4 minute intervals so that all 3 receptacles were used over the 12 minute (maximum) duration of a run. After each test the model bladder 71 was emptied and thoroughly rinsed to remove all glass beads. The three filter papers were removed from the funnels to be oven dried at 150 ° C for 30 minutes with the mass of irrigated, dried, glass beads subsequently determined. (Preliminary tests indicated that constant weight was achieved within a drying period of 30 minutes).
- the tube of Fig. 3(a) was used held vertically and directed at the debris at a distance of 5 mm from the flow of bladder model A and 1 50 ml/min over a duration of 4 minutes].
- the pressure within the bladder model was found to be within ⁇ 0.01 bar (1 kPa) of atmospheric pressure during initial tests on the tubes of Figs. 3(a) - 6(b) (performed at flow rates of 1 50 ml/min); these pressures were judged to be too small to justify recording in subsequent tests.
- Flow rates were found not to vary by more than — 3% during the course of the initial tests; these variations were judged to be acceptably low.
- an upper limit can be set, for tube 1 (a) to the normal stress ( ⁇ ) occurring, due to the in-flow jet of irrigation fluid, on the bladder model's floor; for a flow rate of 150 ml/min the inequality ⁇ ⁇ 0.5/3 2 (where p is the density of water and v the average velocity in the in-flow tube) gives a ⁇ of 50 Pa or less.
- the distal end of the catheter may have a spacer device or means, which can be an extension of the catheter per se, by being for example a curved part of the end formed by cutting say a semi-circular part away, or there may be a separate spacer which can be removably mounted on the distal end before an irrigation and washout procedure commences.
- the procedure described is conducted under gravity.
- a suitable device such as a pump may be used instead of relying on gravity alone. It is intended that existing washout/irrigation solutions can be used in conjunction with the catheters and/or systems described herein.
- the ratio of the diameter of the lumens is such as to optimise removal of debris from the bladder.
