Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure assist with management of tubes and hoses during surgical procedures. The systems, devices, and methods provide for the proper opening and closing of tubes to facilitate performance of steps in a surgical procedure. Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure control fluid delivery to and from a medical device, including devices for tissue processing and cleaning.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tissue treatment system, comprising:
 a container, including:
 an exterior wall surrounding an interior volume for holding tissue; and 
 a filter structure for processing tissue; and 
   a flow management device, including:
 a first barrier wall having a plurality of first openings passing therethrough; 
 a second barrier wall having a plurality of second openings passing therethrough; and 
 a third barrier wall having one or more third openings passing therethrough; 
 wherein the first barrier wall, second barrier wall, and third barrier wall are operably connected and wherein setting the third barrier wall in a first position corresponds to a first step in a tissue washing or processing procedure, setting the third barrier wall in a second position corresponds to a second step in a tissue washing or processing procedure, and setting the third barrier wall to a third position corresponds to a third step in a tissue washing or processing procedure. 
   
     
     
         2 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein setting the third barrier wall in the first position places at least one of the plurality of first openings in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of second openings. 
     
     
         3 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein setting the third barrier wall in the second position places at least one of the plurality of first openings in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of second openings. 
     
     
         4 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein setting the third barrier wall in the third position places at least one of the plurality of first openings in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of second openings. 
     
     
         5 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of seals to prevent material from passing between the first barrier wall and the third barrier wall or the second barrier wall and the third barrier wall. 
     
     
         6 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first barrier wall, the second barrier wall, and the third barrier wall includes a plurality of recessed portions, and
 wherein setting the third barrier wall in a fourth position places the plurality of seals into the plurality of recessed portions and wherein none of the plurality of first openings is in fluid communication with a second opening.   
     
     
         7 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a rotatable connection to operably connect the first barrier wall, the second barrier wall, and the third barrier wall. 
     
     
         8 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one mixing blade to facilitate tissue washing or treatment. 
     
     
         9 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second, and third positions of the third barrier wall are configured to correspond to process steps in a tissue washing or processing procedure. 
     
     
         10 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 9 , wherein the first position of the third barrier wall is configured to correspond to a tissue aspiration step of the tissue washing or processing procedure. 
     
     
         11 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 9 , wherein the second position of the third barrier wall is configured to correspond to a tissue washing step of the tissue washing or processing procedure. 
     
     
         12 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 6 , wherein the third position of the third barrier wall is configured to correspond to a step of the tissue washing or processing procedure wherein tissue is transferred out of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a transfer port in fluid communication with the interior volume. 
     
     
         14 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of ports, each port in fluid communication with one of the plurality of first openings. 
     
     
         15 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the tissue treatment system is medically sterile. 
     
     
         16 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the container includes a first chamber and a second chamber divided by a dividing wall. 
     
     
         17 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 16 , wherein the dividing wall is defined at least in part by the filter structure. 
     
     
         18 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the filter structure comprises a mesh wall and a frame supporting the mesh wall. 
     
     
         19 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 18 , wherein the frame comprises a rigid material. 
     
     
         20 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 18 , wherein the frame comprises a rigid material surrounding an upper border of the mesh wall. 
     
     
         21 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 18 , wherein the frame comprises a rigid material surrounding an upper border of the mesh wall and extending along at least a portion of a side wall of the mesh wall to a bottom portion of the mesh wall. 
     
     
         22 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 18 , wherein the frame comprises a rigid material surrounding an upper border of the mesh wall and having multiple extensions along at least a portion of a side wall of the mesh wall to a bottom portion of the mesh wall. 
     
     
         23 . The tissue treatment system of  claim 1 , further comprising a transfer port at a bottom portion of the container.
