A surgical irrigation/aspiration handpiece is a handheld tool used during procedures to deliver a controlled stream of fluid to a surgical site while simultaneously removing fluids, debris, or tissue fragments via suction. It is operated by the surgeon using push-type controls and is designed to work with detachable cannulas or tips, which are not part of the handpiece itself.
This category refers specifically to reusable handpieces that are intended for multiple uses after proper cleaning and sterilization. These devices are commonly used in ENT and neurosurgical procedures and are regulated as reusable medical devices, with associated components like tubing, tips, or filters considered separate accessories.
