An atraumatic, invasive, hand-operated tube designed as a conduit for irrigation and aspiration (i.e., capable of both functions) of body cavities/wounds during a surgical procedure (e.g., neurosurgery, laparoscopy), whilst providing illumination of the site. It is not dedicated to dental, intrauterine, or liposuction procedures, not an ophthalmic device, and is not designed to administer parenteral fluids or drugs. It has a built-in light or fibreoptic bundle for illumination. The device may incorporate a handle with side valve(s)/hole(s) for the control of irrigation/aspiration, and may be provided with a stylet, sheath, and/or connection tubing. This is a single-use device.
