ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a four function microsurgery instrument performing the functions of aspiration, irrigation, dilation and cauterization. An embodiment of the present invention has a body; a first and second side arms with integral dilation tips having an electrical conducting surface; a power control and transmission system; a common conduit that delivers irrigation-fluid and aspiration-suction in proximity to the dilation tips and an irrigation-fluid and aspiration-suction control and transmission system. The instrument provides the advantages of being small in size, being ergonomical, being all-in-one, eliminating the need for a surgeon-user to fumble around in switching between instruments, reducing time consumption and reducing frustration.
