- the plurality of wings 136 are positioned within the outer ring- shaped channel 132 located between the first hollow tube 120 and the second hollow tube 122 to maintain the distance between the tubes 120, 122 and support the outer ring-shaped channel 132 while still allowing irrigation fluid to p>ass through the outer ring-shaped channel 132 with minimal resistance.
- the singular connection tube 118 comprises a tube 138 having an open distal end 140 and an open proximal end 142 wherein the open proximal end 142 is seated within a multi-connector piece 144.
- Multi-connector piece 144 comprises a hollow piece having a large open distal end 146 with grooves 148 for receiving threads and two smaller channels 150, 152 each having threads 154 located at its proximal end 156.
- Threaded channel 150 is designed to be attached to an irrigation means while threaded channel 152 is designed for attachment to a suctioning means.
- the grooves 148 at the large open distal end 146 of the multi- connector piece 144 are connected to the proximal thread 60 of the main body 42 of the device 40 shown in FIG.
- Tube 138 has an outer diameter that is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first hollow tube 120 so that hollow tube 120 and tube 138 form a telescope when concentrically enjoined.
- irrigation fluid When irrigation is activated, irrigation fluid will be introduced under pressure through the open proximal end 142 of tube 138 and will traverse the telescopic configuration resulting from joining tube 138 inside of first hollow tube 1 20, and will then exit at the distal end 124 of the double channeled tube 116 through the first hollow tube 120.
- suctioning means When suction is activated, suctioning means is applied at suctioning channel 152 and fluid is drawn from the patient through the plurality of apertures 134 contained within the second hollow tube 122. The flu id is drawn through the ring-shaped outer channel 132 and then exits at the suction ing channel 152.
- Spacer element 128 slides within the main body 42 of the device -40 shown in FIG.
- FIG. 4b depicts a nozzle configuration in which the distal open end 158 of first hollow tube 120 forms a needle nose 160 which is capable of being extracted and retracted from within the second hollow tube 122 thereby allowing the operator or surgeon to adjust the length of the irrigation means such that it extends beyond the length of the suctioning means at the cite of application.
