Abstract
A portable lavage apparatus for irrigating or washing wounds is disclosed. The apparatus includes a fluid bag, a spring bias mechanism, and a hose. The spring bias mechanism is typically configured to store potential energy or produce kinetic energy used for urging fluid from the fluid bag, through the hose, and toward a wound. The invention has particular advantages in military or civilian environments in that it allows prompt treatment of wounds. Additionally, the lavage apparatus is small enough to be carried by individuals and does not require an external source of power. Accordingly, the portable lavage apparatus may be employed even on battle fields or in remote areas to treat wounds.
