  • Publication number: 20130317419
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention includes a quantum fluid flow management apparatus which controls and facilitates delivery of liquid and/or air to the surgical site during a surgical procedure via a trumpet valve, various restriction (crimping) devices, and a network of tubing for selectively passing air or fluid through to the surgical site. The trumpet valve allows for selective control of air or fluid or both or neither. Additionally the flow management apparatus controls the application and suction of fluids from the surgical site which may be used in cooperation with the injection of a fluid such as water to irrigate the surgical site to remove body fluids, debrided material or the like.
