See full text

A flexible tube portion for an irrigation line connected to a supply of fluid for surgical or dental use is disclosed, wherein the flexible tube portion cooperates with rollers of a peristaltic pump for distributing fluid, which includes a particular structure which, between two free ends thereof, define a distance, which, combined with the length of the tube portion, gives the tube portion a determined profile enabling its positioning directly underneath the raceway of the rollers of the pump. Also disclosed is a peristaltic pump including a plurality of rollers that roll over a flexible tube portion of an irrigation line connected to a supply of fluid for surgical or dental use, which includes a certain structure for receiving the flexible tube portion in front of the plane in which the rollers move, then bringing the flexible tube portion underneath the rollers, and pressing the tube portion against the rollers.
