The MADS® technology is revolutionizing abscess treatment!
MADS® (Multiphase Abscess Drainage System) is a medical system developed for safe and effective drainage and cleansing of abscesses. The system is based on technology adapted from oil drilling, utilizing the “pipe-in-pipe” principle.
Our smart flow system uses a catheter-in-catheter with an advanced rotating nozzle head and an automated pressure/vacuum pump.
The inner flushing catheter is inserted through the outer drainage catheter. At the end of the flushing tube is the rotating nozzle head, which ensures efficient and precise cleansing.
The automated pressure/vacuum pump ensures continuous distribution of flushing fluid directly into the abscess. Fluid and pus are returned through the space between the inner and outer catheter.
The innovative solution allows for controlled and effective irrigation without increasing the pressure inside the abscess.
In the event of blockages, the system can easily dislodge trapped pus – either through pressure and vacuum, or by withdrawing the inner tube, adding extra flushing fluid, and then reestablishing the system.
All of this without ever removing the outer drainage tube!
The system consists of two main components.
Double-lumen catheter with rotating nozzle head, connectors, collection bag, and tubes for fluid and pus inflow and outflow.
Automated pressure/vacuum pump with connectors to the double-lumen catheter and tubes for flushing and fluid drainage.
Initial laboratory tests show highly promising results!
Calculations indicate that MADS® can double the cleaning efficiency and drastically reduce treatment time for patients with abscesses.
In addition, MADS® is very gentle on the patient, increasing the quality and reducing the discomfort associated with abscess treatments.
MADS® is now in the final prototype phase and is approaching readiness for clinical testing.
The tests will be conducted in close collaboration with leading clinical researchers at Oslo University Hospital and radiologists, surgical specialists and bedside personell at Rikshospitalet and Stavanger University Hospital (SUS).
What they all have in common is extensive experience with traditional abscess drainage and a strong desire for a more modern and forward-looking solution for treating patients with abscesses.
