ABSTRACT:
An aspiration device for separating liquid content of a body fluid and irrigation fluid if any, from solid matters, includes an integrally formed housing, and an integrally formed separating element which is detachably inter-connectable to the housing. The housing includes a proximal segment for defining a hollow space to receive part of the separating element. The separating element includes a filter element for separating the liquid content of the body fluid from the solid matters and for collecting the solid matters in the interior of the filter element. The separating element further includes an end connector for interlocking the separating element with the housing, and an egress tube for conveying the separated liquid content outside the aspiration device. The filter element includes a filter that fits within the housing proximal segment, so that when the separating element is locked in an operating position with the housing, the filter is held coaxially within, and at a distance from the housing, to form an inner chamber between the separating element and the housing proximal segment, such that the liquid content of the body fluid passes through the inner chamber prior to exiting the aspiration device.
