Abstract
Abstract The method of treating a cavity within an anatomy consisting in inserting an elongated member into the cavity, then forcing one barrel of a double hollow needle upon the elongated member for guidance of the needle into the cavity, then withdrawing the elongated member, then inserting an irrigating supply tube through one barrel of the double needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating drain tube through the other barrel of the double needle and into the cavity, then withdrawing the double needle upon the tubes out of the cavity with the tubes remaining in the cavity, then connecting a liquid supply line to said supply tube and a drain line to said drain tube, then supplying a liquid to the supply line for irrigating the cavity and draining out said drain line.

The method of treating a cavity within an anatomy consisting in inserting an elongated member into the cavity, then forcing one barrel of a double hollow needle upon the elongated member for guidance of the needle into the cavity, then withdrawing the elongated member, then inserting an irrigating supply tube through one barrel of the double needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating drain tube through the other barrel of the double needle and into the cavity, then withdrawing the double needle upon the tubes out of the cavity with the tubes remaining in the cavity, then connecting a liquid supply line to said supply tube and a drain line to said drain tube, then supplying a liquid to the supply line for irrigating the cavity and drAining out said drain line.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
The method of treating a cavity within an anatomy consisting in inserting an elongated member into the cavity, then forcing one barrel of a double hollow needle upon the elongated member for guidance of the needle into the cavity, then withdrawing the elongated member, then inserting an irrigating supply tube through one barrel of the double needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating drain tube through the other barrel of the double needle and into the cavity, then withdrawing the double needle upon the tubes out of the cavity with the tubes remaining in the cavity, then connecting a liquid supply line to said supply tube and a drain line to said drain tube, then supplying a liquid to the supply line for irrigating the cavity and drAining out said drain line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
74 words
The method of irrigating a cavity within an anatomy according to claim 1 in which the step of inserting an elongated member into the cavity includes first inserting a fine hollow needle into the cavity, then inserting the elongated substantially rigid member through the hollow needle so that the end thereof extends into the cavity, then removing the needle from the cavity over the elongated member with the elongated member remaining in the cavity.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
108 words
The method of irrigating a cavity in an anatomy consisting in inserting a double hollow needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating supply tube through one barrel of the double needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating drain tube through the other barrel of the double needle and into the cavity then withdrawing the double needle upon the tubes out of the cavity with the tubes remaining in the cavity, then connecting a liquid supply line to said supply tube and a drain line to said drain tube, then supplying a liquid to the supply line for irrigating the cavity and draining out said drain line.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
108 words
The method of irrigating a cavity in an anatomy consisting in inserting a double hollow needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating supply tube through one barrel of the double needle into the cavity, then inserting an irrigating drain tube through the other barrel of the double needle and into the cavity then withdrawing the double needle upon the tubes out of the cavity with the tubes remaining in the cavity, then connecting a liquid supply line to said supply tube and a drain line to said drain tube, then supplying a liquid to the supply line for irrigating the cavity and draining out said drain line.
