Vacuum assisted irrigation pump

A device for the pressurization of fluid for medical procedures, the device comprising:

• a plurality of compressive members configured to apply a force to a fluid reservoir disposed between the plurality of compressive members;
• a substantially air-tight flexible envelope configured to apply a force to the plurality of compressive members when a volume of the flexible envelope decreases;
• and
• a valve in fluid communication with the flexible envelope, the valve being configured to allow for the creation of a negative pressure within the flexible envelope.

A device for the pressurization of fluid for medical procedures, the device comprising:

• a flexible envelope defining an interior volume, the flexible envelope being configured to receive a fluid reservoir therein;
• a reservoir connection configured to convey fluid from the fluid reservoir within the flexible envelope to a location outside of the flexible envelope;
• first and second compressive members associated with the flexible envelope and configured to be disposed on opposing sides of the fluid reservoir disposed within the flexible envelope;
• and
• a vacuum connection associated with the flexible envelope, the vacuum connection being configured to enable the evacuation of the flexible envelope,
• wherein evacuation of the flexible envelope is configured to cause the first and second compressive members to move closer together and apply a force to the fluid reservoir disposed within the flexible envelope, wherein the force applied to the fluid reservoir is configured to cause a fluid within the fluid reservoir to exit the fluid reservoir through the reservoir connection.
