In this work, it is necessary to clean the removed bone and blood using a surgical cleaning device. Such bone and blood washing is carried out using a washing liquid composed of physiological saline.

The general structure of the surgical cleaning apparatus is composed of a body having a cleaning liquid injection hole at one end thereof and a space therein. The body is made of a flexible material and is easily deformed by the force exerted by the hand.

In other words, in order to inject the cleaning liquid into the body, it is necessary to immerse the cleaning liquid spray hole in the cleaning liquid reservoir and remove the force applied to the body, with the air being completely removed by applying force to the body.
