More Information
Summary:A length of tubing (20) includes an irrigation lumen (26) for carrying irrigation fluid from a source (12) to an ophthalmic surgical site at eye (18). An aspiration lumen (28) is also formed in tubing (20) for carrying aspirant from the surgical site at eye (18) to a collection reservoir. The irrigation lumen (26) and the aspiration lumen (28) include a compliant common wall (30). Wall (30) ensures that any surge occurring after an occlusion break during surgery is dampened because of the compliant common wall (30).
