  • Aspirator tip
    Publication number: 20030199883
    Abstract: An elongated, rigid cannula has a peripheral wall defining a central bore and a side port for introduction of material into the bore. A covering of resilient, flexible material is provided in the area of the side port, with a corresponding aperture aligned with the port of the cannula. The aperture of the resilient covering can be somewhat smaller than the underlying cannula port, forming a resilient margin that overhangs and surrounds the port.

The passage is of noncircular cross section so that it protrudes from the body, but to a lesser degree than a circular conduit having the same cross-sectional area.

  • Ophthalmic irrigator-aspirator having a flexible outer cannula
    Patent number: 5873851
    Abstract: The outer cannula of an ophthalmic irrigator-aspirator has rigid tip and butt sections and a more flexible central section. The central section can be an elastomeric sleeve that extends between the tip and butt sections. The outer cannula includes reinforcement members that prevent the elastomeric sleeve from becoming completely closed by compression caused by a tight fit in an incision in a patient's cornea. The reinforcement members may be rigid or somewhat flexible.
