Abstract
A tubing management manifold for a surgical instrument console for controlling fluidflow to and from a surgical instrument includes a housing having a front and opposing sides, and sides, for enabling tubing to be disposed therein and across the housing between the opposing sides. Ports, disposed in the housing front are provided for enabling access to the tubing, disposed across the housing, in order to control fluid flow through the tubing. A tubing capture is disposed on one of the opposing sides, aligned with one of said openings and extending outwardly from said housing, for grasping the tubing in order to prevent unwanted dislodgement of the tubing from said housing.
