Mechanical pumps are available that provide manually controlled increased inflow pressure and suction to facilitate fluid management. One of the fluids pumps is designed for cleaning ears when managing otitis externa (Figure 2.19). With proper pressure adjustment and by allowing ready outflow of fluid around the telescope sheath, exudate, wax, and debris are easily removed from the ear canal with limited or minimal risk of rupturing the tympanum. Surfactant or detergent can be added to the irrigant to speedup cleaning. This pump also works well for irrigation and suction with minimally invasive surgery. The bottles and tubing are autoclavable, so the system is usable in an aseptic setting.

Figure 2.19 A Vet Pump 2 fluid management system with irrigation and suction pumps. Pulsating adjustable high‐pressure irrigation is produced by this unit that functions well for ear cleaning and for debriding lacerations, fistulas, and for lavage of contaminated abdomens and thoraxes. A two‐button control module at the patient end of the tubing allows one‐handed management of irrigation and suction.
