摘要 |
The invention concerns a surgical apparatus for irrigating an operative site during endoscopic surgery. The apparatus comprises a reservoir of irrigation fluid (32) contained within an air actuated pouch (30), a pump (54) for inflating the pouch so that the reservoir is compressed, pressure control means (20), a microprocessor (53) for operating the system, heating panels (40, 41) contained within the pouch for providing heated irrigation fluid, and a nozzle and tube (52) for delivering the irrigation fluid to an operative site. The apparatus also provides a stick fitting (100) for attaching tubing to the fluid reservoir. In addition to the stick fitting, the apparatus provides a locking receiver system for insuring that the stick fitting will not disengage during use.
