ABSTRACT:
An irrigation apparatus and a method of use for delivering fluid flow to a surgical site. The irrigation apparatus includes a refillable fluid reservoir with an inlet for receiving fluid via first tubing from a fluid source, and an outlet for second tubing leading to a surgical site. A sensor monitors the fluid contained within the reservoir. The sensor sends a signal to a controller, which operates a pump. The pump transports fluid from the fluid source to the refillable reservoir via the first tubing.
