Part Number: MT63
The Medi-Duct is an ocular fluid management system designed to make irrigation with the Morgan Lens even more convenient. Its super-absorbent wick carries the irrigation solution away from the patient through a 24-inch tube. The end of the tubing may be placed in a basin or other collection device, making for easy collection and disposal.
For best results, tape the Medi-Duct to the head in the position shown in the photograph. This allows effective absorption of the outflow and keeps your patient dry.
The following equipment is recommended for bilateral eye irrigation using the Morgan Lens:
Two Morgan Lenses (part number MT2000-USA or MT6673-Outside-USA)–one per eye
Topical ocular anesthetic (if available)
One Morgan Lens Delivery Set (part number MT202)
One bag of irrigating solution (MorTan recommends lactated Ringer’s or Hartmann’s Solution)
Two Medi-Ducts (part number MT63)-one per eye–or towels, blue pads, or another fluid collection device

Thanks for the opportunity to sing the praises of the Morgan Lens! Those of us who have been in the field for a while wonder what we ever did without them! We find two general uses for the lenses. One is for contact irritation: most typically, splashes. After local anesthetic, for ease of insertion, the lenses fit comfortably on patients of all ages and provide gentle and thorough irrigation of irritant substances. We have many cases of this type. The second most common use is for patients show suffer multiple injuries due to automobile accidents, major trauma, burns, falls, etc. Not only does the lens thoroughly irrigate the eye, removing most or all of the debris that has accumulated, it more importantly frees up the nurse's hands so that she can perform other lifesaving functions. Quite frankly, eye irrigation was treated as "the bottom of the list" often because other patient's other injuries were more devastating with higher morbidity and mortality. Particularly in the burn patient, the soothing effect of the irrigation and potential to prevent infection or further injury, make it an easy to use, valuable asset for patient care.

The Morgan Lens is used in 90% of hospital emergency departments in the USA and can be inserted in less than 20 seconds. There simply is no other "hands-free" method of eye irrigation. Nothing else frees medical personnel to treat other injuries or to transport the patient while irrigation is underway. Nothing is more effective at treating ocular chemical, thermal, and actinic burns or removing non-embedded foreign bodies, even when the patient's eyes are closed tightly. Its design makes it simple and straightforward to use so minimal training is required.
