Abstract:
1. An irrigation set adaptor for electrocoagulation with any suction irrigation set comprises: a multifunctional cannula having an elongated body including a channel extending therealong having an operative channel aperture at one end and a second channel aperture at the opposite end; an enlarged adaptor mounted to the second channel aperture and having a downwardly extending threaded cylindrical portion; a manifold coupled to the threaded cylindrical portion of the adaptor; a first irrigation tube and a second suction tube coupled to the manifold at one end of each tube; an irrigation valve and a suction valve connected to the respective tubes to regulate the manifold flow and means for providing fluid to the irrigation tube and means for receiving fluid from the suction tube through the respective valves; an electrode having a cutting end and a connecting end, said electrode being slidably mounted within the cannula channel and extending outwardly at the cutting end and at the opposite connecting end of said electrode, said irrigation set adaptor further including; a power supply; a control panel coupled to the connecting end of the electrode at one end and to the power supply at the other end; means for securing the adaptor comprising threaded manifold means for meshing with the threaded cylindrical portion of the adaptor; and, wherein the control panel regulates the current to the electrode for cutting or alternatively for coagulation and wherein the suction tube may be operated simultaneously with the electrode.
