ABSTRACT:
A hand-held directional irrigation tube and a suction tube surgical instrument includes a finger or thumb operated aperture on the suction tube communicating with the lumen thereof that serves to selectively by-pass and connect the suction pump with the surgical site and the irrigation tube being removably supported in a sleeve attached to the suction tube that includes a gear-like member having circumferentially spaced valleys or slots attached to the sleeve cooperating with a projection attached to the irrigation tube so that the surgeon can slide the irrigation tube to disengage the projection and rotate it and re-insert it into another slot in the gear-like member to re-direct the spray of irrigation fluid egressing from the irrigation tube to different locations in the surgical site.
