Disposable Pulse Lavage Model W-202


Pulse Lavage has been clinically proven to be essential for both orthopaedic procedures and wound debridement. In arthroplasty, bone bed cleaning with a pulse lavage is key to the long term survival of prosthesis. In wound debridement, it effectively removes more than 90% of necrotic tissues, contaminant and bacteria, consequently reduces infection rates.

Product Details

1. Adjustable high and low speed: high speed, powerful irrigation for orthopaedic applications; low speed irrigation for debridement of trauma wound, burns and a number of other chronic wounds.



2. Highly reliable and long battery life with consistent power. 



3. Double packed and sterilized in house.



4. Ergonomic design; minimal installation is required; features nozzle lock to secure nozzle in place during surgery.


5. Integrated tubings and power wire to avoid intertwining. 


    “The routine use of pulsed or pressurized lavage appears to be the single most important factor in preparing the bone bed. It is essential in achieving adequate and uniform penetration of bone cement and a sound cement-bone interface.”

    “after pressurized lavage, the cement-bone composite layer was 50% to 75% as strong as the bone cement and always stronger than the adjacent cancellous bone. This situation would seem to offer the best chance of maintaining a stable mechanical environment and allowing osseointegration to take place.”

    “Since initial fixation strength is considered a key to long-term survival of the implants, the use of pulsed lavage should be regarded as a mandatory preparation step when cementing tibial components.”

    “The United States Army Institute of Surgical Research, after performing an experiment on a Bioluminescent Musculoskeletal Wound Model concludes that     “irrigation with pulsed lavage is more effective than irrigation with a bulb syringe in this large-animal model of a complex, contaminated musculoskeletal wound and may allow smaller volumes of irrigant to be used.”

    “In conclusion, lavage of the vertebral bodies resulted in a significant reduction of the embolic load and thus prevented the increase in pulmonary arterial pressure after PMMA injection, even though significantly more cement was injected into the lavaged vertebrae potentially displacing more bone marrow fat into the venous system. Vertebral lavage for removing intravertebral fat prior to cement injection for multilevel vertebroplasty may be useful for preventing potentially life threatening complications in patients with impaired cardiopulmonary function.”
