Xve°mbe^^I7 ) Applying Carrcl-Dakin Solution. 505 There will therefore never be more instillation tubes at the site ofthe wound than are required for irrigation. Another objection tothe Rose irrigator is found in the fact that the glass reservoir fromwhich the solution is distributed to the various instillation tubesmust be held in a vertical position by some form of support at thesite of the wound. If. for example, a patient should happen tohave two wounds in the same leg, one above the knee and the other. in,. 4-A. Improved apparatus in use. Note that the instillation tubesmay be freely manipulated while dressing the wounds without interferencefrom the distributing tubes, sight-feed bulbs or clamps, all of which are wellelevated above the patient. below the knee, it would be necessary to employ one completeapparatus for irrigating each wound. The disadvantages withregard to lack of simple attachment, insertion of instillation tubes,etc., discussed in describing the apparatus pictured in Fig. 2, applyalso to the Rose irrigator.
