Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0195957A2] An assembly suitable for transferring fluid from a flexible container to a wound irrigation site. The assembly comprises a connector having an end capable of being joined to a flexible container containing a fluid, a nozzle end, and a valve between the end capable of being joined to the flexible container and the nozzle end. The nozzle end of the connector is preferably joined to a splashback shield. The end of the connector that is capable of being joined to the flexible container preferably comprises a spike that serves to pierce a seal on the flexible container. In the preferred embodiments, the valve is actuated by pressure, which is typically supplied by a medical practitioner. The pressure actuatable valve is preferably a ball valve. The splashback shield is preferably substantially hemispherical in shape. The splashback shield preferably contains at least one passageway, preferably a plurality of passageways, for allowing spent irrigation fluid to drain from the wound site.
