A tubing connector for integrally connecting an irrigation line, an aspiration line, and a conductor to a proximal portion of an ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The tubing connector includes a base including proximal and distal regions. First and second lumens through the base each extends from the proximal region to the distal region to create respective first and second fluid pathways to the proximal portion of the handpiece. The first lumen includes a first coupler proximate the base proximal region configured to receive the irrigation line, and the second lumen includes a second coupler proximate the base proximal region configured to receive the aspiration line. The base defines a groove in an outer perimeter that extends between the proximal and distal regions and is configured to receive the conductor. The tubing connector is configured to reduce strain of the irrigation line and the aspiration line when coupled to the handpiece.

Ultrasonic surgical handpiece assembly

An ultrasonic surgical assembly for use with a surgical handpiece to provide air cooling of an ultrasonic tip. An ultrasonic tip comprises a shaft and a cutting portion. The tip comprises a first side and a second side that are substantially planar and a cutting head. The tip is removably coupled to a horn. The assembly comprises an irrigation sleeve defining a lumen. The sleeve at least partially surrounds the shaft, defines an inlet aperture, and comprises a conduit in fluid communication with the lumen. The conduit has an outlet aperture and is configured for being connected to a liquid source. The tip comprises a sealing member coupled to its outer surface and has a first bore defining an air inlet disposed proximal the sealing member and a second bore extending from the proximal end of the shaft to the first bore to form a fluid bath therebetween.
