COMBINED COAXIAL AND BIMANUAL IRRIGATION/ASPIRATION APPARATUS

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to an assembly having an irrigation hand piece that includes an irrigation needle extending from a distal end and configured to release a first fluid. The assembly further has an aspiration hand piece that includes an aspiration needle extending from a distal end and configured to aspirate a second fluid into the assembly. The assembly has a first configuration in which the irrigation hand piece and aspiration hand piece are coupled together in a manner that causes the released first fluid from the assembly to flow coaxially about the axis of the aspiration needle and a second configuration in which the irrigation hand piece and aspiration hand piece are uncoupled which causes the released first fluid to flow substantially non-coaxial with respect to the axis of the aspiration needle.
