  • Publication number: 20190216989
    Abstract: A minimally invasive surgery suction sleeve configured for use with an inner cannula of a suction instrument. The sleeve includes a first opening at a proximal end, a second opening at a distal end, and a tube between the first opening and the second opening. The sleeve slides over a suction instrument. The distal end is configured to insert into the body and includes a plurality of apertures that provide for pool suction. The sleeve further includes a flange at the proximal end that allows a surgeon to manipulate the sleeve, switching between spot and pool mode by sliding the sleeve over the inner cannula of the suction instrument. In spot mode, the tip of the suction instrument is exposed. In pool mode, the sleeve slides forward, covering the tip of the suction instrument so that fluent material is drawn through the apertures in the sleeve.
