Aspirators/irrigators designed to provide irrigation and evacuate fluids (i.e., gases and liquids), tissue, and foreign materials from a body cavity through an endoscope. These irrigators usually include pumps to deliver the liquid and/or suction the debris, appropriate means (e.g., tubes, catheters) to irrigate the operatory or treatment field through the working channel of an endoscope, and controls for exterior regulation of the mode of operation (irrigation or suctioning ) and/or the intensity of the flush and vacuum applied. Endoscopic aspirators/irrigators are intended for a variety (e.g., gastric, urinary tract) of procedures, each one using an appropriate delivery system.
