Abstract

A device for controlling the flow of liquid to a catheter. Two end caps support a capillary tube that provides continuous flow of liquid from one end cap to the other. A flexible, resilient sleeve is connected at its ends to said end caps and surrounds said capillary tube. Said sleeve, when pulled away from said capillary tube, provides an alternate high flow volume flow from one end cap to the other outside of the tube.
