Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a rotor assembly for a peristaltic pump. The pump includes a first rotor having a plurality of rollers and a second rotor, coupled to the first rotor, having a plurality of rollers. The rollers of the first and second rotors are located at an angle of about 45 relative to each other. In an embodiment, the first rotor and the second rotor are circular. In another embodiment, the rollers of the first rotor are equally spaced or located at an angle, about 90, relative to each other. In yet another embodiment, the rollers of the second rotor are equally spaced or located at an angle, about 90, relative to each other. A peristaltic pump and a method of supplying fluid to a surgical area are also disclosed.
