Hepp/Scheidel Irrigator

Description

Hepp/Scheidel Irrigator

The Hepp-Scheidel irrigator delivers a fine stream of fluid onto delicate tissue. Gynaecological microsurgeons use it to keep tissue moist and to rinse away blood so the field stays clear.

Why irrigate

Delicate tissue dries out quickly under theatre lights. Therefore, regular gentle irrigation helps protect it and reduces adhesions.

Size of the Hepp-Scheidel irrigator

At 16 cm, it reaches the pelvis comfortably. Meanwhile, the fine tip lets the surgeon aim the stream precisely.

Typical procedures

Tubal surgery and other pelvic microsurgery use it most. It also suits delicate work in other specialties.

Technique

Direct a gentle stream onto the tissue rather than a forceful jet. After that, use suction to remove the fluid.

Pairing

The Hepp-Scheidel suction tube removes the fluid this irrigator delivers. Together, they keep the field clean and moist.

Checking flow

Before the case, run fluid through the irrigator. As a result, any blockage shows up early.

Small drops from the Hepp-Scheidel irrigator

Large volumes can flood a small field and hide the anatomy. Instead, the fine tip lets the team place each drop exactly on the raw surface that needs it.
