Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006074257A2] An aspiration system to be used in surgical procedures that require large amounts of sterile fluids circulated through the human body as for example orthopedic surgery. The aspiration system includes a filter assembly and a restrictive aspiration tube. The restrictive aspiration tube can be coupled to a vacuum source. The filter assembly filters out particles aspirated from a surgical site. The restrictive aspiration tube has an inner diameter between 0.05 and 0.3 inches and a length of at least 3 feet. These dimensions limit the flow that can be pulled through the human body, while allowing for adequate vacuum to aspirate from the surgical site.
