Abstract
This invention is directed to a micro aspirator for use in performing microsurgery for the removal of blood, debris and fluids from around the micro surgical site. The micro aspirator includes an elongated flexible tube which is preferably transparent, which is adapted to be connected to a negative pressure source and an aspirating tip formed as a plastic hub having a connected needle or cannula with a gauge ranging between 10 to 30 connected to the end of the flexible tube. The plastic hub may be either detachably or fixedly secured to the end of the flexible tube, with the needle or cannula being formed of a readily bendable material that can be easily bent by the operator or surgeon to any desired angle.
