A rigid, sterile, hand-operated, tube-like device intended to be inserted through a laparoscopic port to provide a conduit for the instillation and/or aspiration of fluid during laparoscopy. It has a single lumen, a proximal handle, and is typically made of plastic materials. It is connected via tubing to an appropriate irrigating/aspirating device(s), the irrigation/aspiration being regulated by the operator with mechanical valve controls typically in the handle of the cannula. This is a single-use device.
