Abstract
Systems and apparatuses for pressurized fluid system handpieces having pumps and pump cartridge mechanisms. The system may have a console, the pump and pump cartridge, and the handpiece, with the pump and pump cartridge configured to deliver high velocity fluid to the handpiece. The pump may comprise the pump cartridge, at least one actuator and a means for driving the at least one actuator. The means for driving the at least one actuator drive fluid from an inlet into the pump cartridge and forces the fluid out of the pump cartridge through an outlet to the handpiece.
Claims17
A pressurized fluid system comprising:
- a console;
- a handpiece;
- and
- a pump comprising a pump cartridge mechanism, at least one actuator, and a means for driving the at least one actuator, wherein the pump comprises an inlet in communication with the console and an outlet in communication with the handpiece.
A pressurized fluid system comprising:
- a console comprising a user interface;
- a handpiece;
- a hose;
- a pump cartridge mechanism comprising an inlet in communication with the console and an outlet in communication with the handpiece via the hose;
- at least one actuator;
- and
- a means for driving the at least one actuator,
- wherein the pump cartridge serves a sterile barrier within the system.
