nector (Fig. 5-10 "Patient tube elements" see (12)) of the patient tube.
The day tube may be used the entire day of surgery. However, it is designed for a
maximum of 10 uses.

surgical procedure to protect against contamination. This sterile protector re-
mains connected to the day tube until the next surgery.

giene connector (12)). Luer lock connector (14) to connect to an instrument such

tor (12) on the patient tube with the matching piece on the day tube (Fig. 5-9

The patient tube set has to be replaced for every patient to prevent cross-con-
tamination. The day tube remains connected to the device after each surgery.
