The physicians developed the new device to address a condition called pleural effusion.

Because of the thick nature of this fluid, it is often difficult to evacuate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Empyema affects more than 32,000 patients in the United States annually and is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. According to Dr. Shersher, approximately 20% to 30% of patients affected will either die or require further surgery in the first year after developing empyema.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly intervention is crucial in the management of empyema by removing the pus from the pleural space to control or eliminate infection,\u201d Dr. Shersher said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the Body Cavity Evacuator Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Existing methods of removing fluid from body cavities are ineffective or, in the case of pleural empyema, overly cumbersome due to the viscous nature of the pus, requiring the simultaneous use of two separate entry points into the body. Multiple devices are often needed.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Dr. Shersher and Dr. Abouzgheib developed the Body Cavity Evacuator (BCE), a device that effectively perfuses (or irrigates) the cavity and then removes viscous fluid using only one entry point. The simplicity of the device will allow physicians to optimize perfusion and drainage in a minimally invasive way, lowering a patient\u2019s risk of infection or further complications.<\/p>\n<p>The grant funding will be used for the development and testing of several protypes devices. While originally developed as a solution to pleural empyema, testing may show further uses of the evacuator to treat other conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Dr. Shersher and Dr. Abouzgheib presented their idea to us, we wanted to learn more about the project because we saw how strong of a team they are and the unmet need in simplifying this process,\u201d said George F. Heinrich, MD, vice chair and CEO of New Jersey Health Foundation, and affiliate of FHA. \u201cWe are excited that this Innovation Grant will assist in the early development of the prototype and then lead to the body cavity evacuator device, which will improve patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, we are thrilled to be working with the FHA to help develop and bring another promising new device to market,\u201d said Neal Lemon, PhD, MBA, director of the Cooper Innovation Center, which was founded in 2022 to advance biomedical research and technologies developed by Cooper physicians and researchers. \u201cIt is a great example of how Cooper innovations are working to change medical practice and improve patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Cooper University Health Care<br \/>\n<\/strong>Cooper University Health Care, with its MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper and affiliation with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, is a leading academic health system.
