A water-infusion system with two reservoirs at different levels

Arthroscopy. 2002 Apr;18(4):446-9. doi: 10.1053/jars.2002.31971.

Abstract

To provide a continuous supply of fluid during arthroscopic surgery, we suggest an infusion system with 2 reservoirs placed at different heights. The lower bag serves as a water reservoir, which allows more time for the circulating nurse to complete the task of exchanging the emptied water bag.
