ABSTRACT:
An aspiration and irrigation system, in particular for performing surgical operations on an eye of a living being to maintain the intraocular pressure, includes a pressure unit for supplying gaseous fluid to the eye via a first fluid passageway and communicating with an infusion unit comprised of successively arranged first and second infusion bottles, both containing a liquid fluid. An irrigation unit is connected with the second infusion bottle for conducting liquid fluid from said second infusion bottle to the eye via a second fluid passageway; with the liquid fluid in the second infusion bottle being pressurized by gaseous fluid supplied from the pressure unit. A multiport valve selectively controls the flow between the first and second fluid passageways to the eye. Tissue and/or gaseous and liquid fluids are removed from the eye by an aspiration unit.
