Ellik evacuator


Ellik was a resident at the University of Iowa under Alcock. Acording to the University website, Alcock encouraged Ellik to improve on the Davis evacuator for removing prostate chips.

Thus, unlike earlier evacuators the Ellik was designed for removing tissue rather than stone fragments.
