Abstract
Ultrasonic surgical instrument assemblies and methods of making ultrasonic surgical instrument assemblies. A single piece carrier defining first and second lumens extending between proximal and distal regions of the single piece carrier is provided. The first lumen includes an irrigation conduit and the second lumen is sized to receive a vibratory component of the ultrasonic surgical instrument. An outer surface of the single piece carrier defines a trench and at least one retention member adjacent the trench. A flexible conductor is positioned within the trench and adjacent the at least one retention member such that the at least one retention member retains the flexible conductor in the trench. The single piece carrier is then overmolded to form an overmold assembly including a distal coupling feature for coupling to a tip sleeve portion of the ultrasonic surgical instrument.
