Abstract: The research revolutionises to introduce a new design of an instrument that combines the functionality of Maryland forceps with that of a suction irrigation device. Currently, the above two operations have to be carried out sequentially, which adds to the amount of time and effort spent by the surgeon. Integrating both these features within the same device can ensure that both processes can take place simultaneously or one after the other as many times as required, without unnecessary removal of the device from the incision. Thus the article has modelled the instrument which can potentially benefit in all other various laparoscopic procedures.

Keywords: laparoscopic instruments; irrigation; suction; forceps; mechanism; multi-functional.
