A microirrigator.
The need for a microirrigator and the requirements for one are outlined. The method of construction is described. This instrument has been used in a variety of situations, both experimental and clinical, for nerve and vessel repairs. Probably its greatest value has been as an irrigating probe, both for hydrostatic dilatation of vessels and for floating away small clots of blood.
