title: Aspiration adaptor for Cavitron unit.
abstract: An adaptor has been developed which separates the irrigation and aspiration functions of the Cavitron Phakoemulsifier during the procedure for extracapsular cataract extraction. This permits more complete removal of cortical material and the ability to work with small bore instruments in the eye with their resultant benefits.
