◉ One major advantage of the DualWave pump over traditional
inflow-only pump is:
a. Inflow-only pumps allow for regulation of fluid pressure
automatically by controlling outflow

maintain a constant fluid pressure in the joint
d. DualWave pumps only feature active outflow, making the
technology much more efficient and simpler to use
