Development of a cannula device for gas fraction removal in surgical drains
Abstract
The development of low-traumatic surgical drains aimed at maximum possible separation of blood and air, is an important trend in modern medicine. The objective of this work is to create an inexpensive, user-friendly and low-traumatic dynamic blood aspiration system (DBAS). The system allows effective separation of blood and air when drawing blood from a wound under vacuum conditions required for blood aspiration. The operating principle of the system is to separate liquid and gas fractions of the blood-air mixture by modifying the blood intake cannula. The effect is achieved by applying the principles of centrifugal forces of a rotating blood-air flow combined with Archimedes lift forces.
