Abstract
A phacoemulsification needle (A,B,D,A) is provided for emulsifying body tissue. The needle (A,B,D,A) is adapted to be attached to a phacoemulsification handpiece that imparts a vibration to the needle (A,B,C,D,A). The needle (A,B,D,A) has a body (A) with a distal end (), a proximal end (), and an aspiration passage () extending between the proximal and distal ends (). The aspiration passage () defines a longitudinally-extending central body axis (A,B,D). The aspiration passage () is enlarged at the distal end () to define a tip (A,B,D,A).
