The device preferably includes: a foot pedal and a fluid regulator. Compression of the foot pedal actuates the fluid regulator, which switches the fluid regulator to the OPEN state, preferably in a variable fashion. The device also includes tubing that allows the device to be connected and used with a variety of existing systems for arthroscopic surgery.
