Abstract
A system for controlling the irrigation and aspiration functions in flow lines cooperative with a surgical control console employs a reusable receiver within which a disposable cassette is insertable. The cassette includes lines which must be sterile for each user, but cooperates with elements in the receiver to which it is detachably engaged. Slider bars within the receiver are arranged to transmit clamping forces against interior flexible lines such that shortened and simplified flow paths are used.
