ABSTRACT:
A gastro-intestinal lavage apparatus in which a hollow nozzle is inserted within a body cavity, said nozzle having an opening in the side thereof to permit debris in the body cavity to be pulled into a chamber within the nozzle. A source of reduced gas pressure is connected to the chamber at the exit end and a source of liquid under pressure is led into the chamber to direct a stream of liquid across the window and toward the reduced pressure source to break up the debris entering the chamber and increase the flow of said debris into and out of said chamber.
