Claims (8)

1 . A device for rinsing a body cavity with a fluid, comprising a controllable rinsing pump with a feed line connected to the pressure side of the rinsing pump and comprising a first medical instrument with a drainage cannula and comprising a drainage line with a pinch valve, comprising an optional second pump for extracting the fluid from the drainage line, wherein, the drainage line upstream of the pinch valve, a pressure sensor for determining the pressure in the body cavity is provided.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first medical instrument is selected from the group consisting of rinsing probe, trocar with optical system, optical system with rinsing channel, rinsing cannula, shaver.

3 . The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second medical instrument.

4 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein the second medical instrument is a shaver.

5 . The device according to claim 4 , wherein the shaver controls the pinch valve such that when setting the shaver into operation, the pinch valve moves to the position “closed”, and when the shaver is at a standstill, the pinch valve moves to the position “open”.

6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein a second pressure sensor is connected to the feed line on the pressure side of the rinsing pump.

7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure measurement is made with the pressure sensor, when the pinch valve is closed.

8 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the pressure measurement is made with the pressure sensor, when the pinch valve is closed, and that the pressure measurement is made with the second pressure sensor, when the pinch valve is open.
