  • Publication number: 20190167415
    Abstract: A surgical tool assembly is disclosed. The surgical tool assembly includes a forceps instrument including a proximal handle portion with an actuator, and a distal forceps portion including jaws. The actuator selectively moves the jaws. The surgical tool assembly includes an infusion assembly including a tube configured to be connected to a fluid source at a primary tube end and connected to a fitting at a paracentesis tube end. The fitting defines a passage configured to receive the distal forceps portion of the forceps instrument. An infusion sleeve extends away from the fitting. The infusion sleeve is arranged concentric around an outer surface of the distal forceps portion to define a fluid pathway. The jaws extend beyond a terminal end of the infusion sleeve such that the jaws are arranged outside of the infusion sleeve.
