A cassette insertable into an irrigation or aspiration machine for endoscopy includes an irrigation or an aspiration tube and a support provided with one or two inlet plugs and one or two outlet plugs where two tubes form an elbow to be connectable to the inlet or outlet plugs in an input and output direction of motion, respectively and to form an irrigation or aspiration pumping area in the input and output direction of motion. The support includes a T-shaped guide according to the head of the T for protecting the elbow of each tube and according to the length of the T body in a slot guiding the tube in the output direction. The T-shaped guide extends between one or two inlet plugs to form the irrigation or aspiration pumping area on both sides of the slot between each inlet plug and the head of the T.
A cassette intended to be inserted into an irrigation or aspiration machine used in endoscopy comprising an irrigation tube (1i) or an aspiration tube (1a) and a support (5) furnished with one (3i) or with two inlet plugs (3i, 3a) and with one (7i) or with two outlet plugs (7i, 7a), the tube or the two tubes forming an elbow (9i, 9a) for engaging with the inlet and outlet plug or the two inlet and outlet plugs in a respectively incoming (E) and outgoing (S) direction of flow and forming a segment of irrigation (11i) or of aspiration (11a) pumping in the incoming direction (E) of flow, characterized in that the support (5) comprises a T guide (13) shaped to the head of the T so as to protect the elbow (9i, 9a) of each tube (1i, 1a) and shaped along the body of the T as a slot (19) guiding the tube or the two tubes in the outgoing direction of flow (S), the T guide (13) running between the inlet plug or the two inlet plugs (3i, 3a) so as to form the segment of irrigation (11i) or of aspiration (11a) pumping on either side of the slot (19) between each inlet plug (3i, 3a) and the head of the T.
