ABSTRACT:
A surgical/medical irrigator with a handpiece in which there is a pump from which irrigating fluid is discharged. The irrigating fluid is discharged from a discharge tube attached to the handpiece. Irrigating fluid is removed from the site to which it is applied through a suction tube also attached to the handpiece. A splash shield is removably attached to the ends of the discharge and suction tubes to limit fluid discharge. The splash shield is formed with a discharge chamber into which the fluid from the discharge chamber is discharged. The splash shield has a bore that leads from the discharge chamber to the suction tube through which fluid is drawn away from the discharge chamber. Seals between the discharge and suction tubes and the splash shield prevent fluid flow between the tubes and the splash shield.
