Abstract:
A generator-distributor for supplying liquid, particularly sterile liquid, to a hand piece (5) or (6) for surgical or medical applications, which may be either a high pressure or a stream type generator with a closed or self-feeding flexible liquid reserve container sealed inside a chamber by pressurized gas, said container being connected to the exterior by a connecting section (9) with a pin (10) at one end which punctures the lateral wall of the pouch of the flexible container and adapts to the extremity of the pouch, said connecting section (9) penetrating one wall of the chamber through a seal (14) sealing the pressurized gas inside the chamber, while the other end of said section connects with a hand piece (5) or (6) which can function as a high pressure device and a delivery device, respectively, wherein said connecting section (9) penetrating the pressure chamber through seal (14) and supplying the hand piece comprises at least one pressure valve, the presence or absence of which determines whether the generator-distributor functions as a delivery generator or a pressure generator, or vice versa, to the hand piece.
