Abstract
The electronically foot-switch controlled irrigation/aspiration instruments have several disadvantages due to the big ''dead space'' between the pump and the aspiration cannula. A new high precision fingertip controlled aspiration system is described. A specially designed ball valve connects the aspiration cannula directly to the vacuum reservoir, thereby almost eliminating the dead space. The system is non-electric, it has no moving parts, it is easy to operate and highly cost efficient.Keywords
