Wound Irrigation System
What is the ComfortHeal Contained Wound Irrigation System
The ComfortHeal Enclosed Wound Irrigation System is a patented closed fluid management system that effectively removes biofilm and necrotic tissue using pulsed lavage pressure, with all cleansing procedures conducted in a sealed environment.
It can be used directly at the patient’s bedside in any medical setting. The system is compatible with all powered irrigation devices and is available in two models: AB (Abdominal/Buttock) and EB (Extremity/Head).
Biofilm Disruption and Improved Wound Healing
Conventional wound irrigation typically requires high pressure of 5–15 psi and a sufficient volume of saline solution (commonly around 3 liters). Foreign debris and biofilm in wounds can lead to infection and delayed healing, and most studies indicate that an irrigation pressure of 8–12 psi is effective for removal. However, the most widely used methods—such as syringes or saline bottles—cannot deliver the consistent high pressure necessary for effective wound cleansing. Additionally, their limited volume requires frequent refilling, which not only delays the irrigation process but also creates inconvenience for both healthcare providers and patients.
Advantages of a Closed Wound Irrigation System Using Pulsed Lavage
Right pressure
Portable - Wound cleansing can occur at any bedside
Can be used to eliminate biofilm in conjunction with - Negative pressure dressings, hyperbaric oxygen treatments
Reduces hospital and rehabilitation facility admissions and readmissions
Frees up valuable operating rooms and ICU ward space
Splash back protection
Right time
location (hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, homecare without risk of contamination)
Never exceeds 15 psi
2-speed or variable irrigation control
Increases patient and caregiver safety
Safe non-biohazard disposal (no free flowing liquid after procedure)
Right volume
Proven to reduce biofilm by 86.9%
Patient pain and suffering is reduced significantly
Realized cost savings over in-hospital care cost effective - eliminates cost and time of operating room debridement because ComfortHeal™ can be safely administered at the bedside
Battery operated
AB Model (Abdominal)
EB Model (Extremity)
The EB model is designed to contain and create a water tight seal around an arm, leg, hand, foot, and head wounds.
The AB model is designed to adhere a water tight seal to the body for effective safe treatment of hip, back, sacral, and chest wounds.
Pulse Lavage Irrigator
The pulse lavage irrigator all in one package (with tips) is designed to provide controlled powered irrigation during open orthopedic and general surgical procedures and for the cleansing of burns or wounds. Saline solution fluid is used in pulsatile action of the pump and helps to remove blood, tissue debris, biofilm and foreign matter from the operative or wound site.

Pulsed Lavage System Warnings
1. This device has been designed for single use only. Reuse, reprocessing, resterilization or repackaging may compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics that are critical to the overall performance of the device and may lead to device failure which may result in injury to the patient. Reuse, reprocessing, resterilization or repackaging may also create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause patient infection or cross infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious diseases from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness or death of the patient or end user.
2. Do not resterilize.
3. Do not use in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere due to explosion hazard.
4. Do not incinerate the batteries as this can cause a risk to the environment.
5. Do not recharge batteries, put in backwards, or mix with used or other battery types as these actions may cause explosion or leakage leading to personal injury or can cause a risk to the environment.
6. After use, this product may be a potential biohazard. Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state, and federal laws.
7. Follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards or Universal Precautions for bloodborne pathogens (29 CFR-1910.1030). These may be found by searching the OSHA website at www.osha.gov.
8. Use continuous suction at 60-100 mmHg to keep operative or wound site clean.
Pulsed Lavage System Precautions
