Cataract aspiration-irrigation. Modified needle-tubing-handle combination for push-pull machine.

A modification of the needle-tubing combination for the push-pull machine used for aspiration-irrigation of congenital and traumatic cataracts, is described. The new needle-tubing-handle combination is advantageous in that the incorporated handle makes the insertion and maneouvring in the anterior chamber easier and also the whole combination can easily be autoclaved as silastic tubing is used.
