Abstract
The collection container has a reusable, autoclavable vessel with a resilient plastic reusable insert to which the aspiration instrument is connected. The insert incorporates a fluid passageway which may be blocked by squeezing action of a solenoid-type actuator. The insert includes a breakaway portion which is severed from the body of the insert during installation prior to use. This insert may also stay in place during autoclaving or cleaning.
