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

Sleeve for an ultrasonic handpiece

The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic surgical handpiece assembly comprising a surgical handpiece for use with an irrigation sleeve and ultrasonic tip. The surgical handpiece may comprise a piezoelectric transducer disposed within a housing and configured to manipulate the ultrasonic tip. One or more lumens and/or a flex circuit including an antenna may be disposed within the surgical handpiece housing. The lumen(s) may be configured to provide irrigation and/or aspiration to the irrigation sleeve and/or ultrasonic tip. The irrigation sleeve may comprise a second antenna configured to communicate with the ultrasonic handpiece antenna. The irrigation sleeve may further comprise and an alignment and/or coupling feature configured to removably secure the irrigation sleeve to the housing and orient the second antenna relative to the ultrasonic handpiece antenna. The irrigation sleeve may further comprise a lumen for supplying irrigation and/or aspiration to the ultrasonic tip.
