Abstract
An apparatus provides mechanical energy to vibrate a needle. An irrigating sleeve is disposed around the needle and includes one or more irrigation ports through which irrigation liquid is ejected during emulsification. To prevent the needle from occluding the irrigation ports with its deflections, one or more bumpers are provided between the sleeve and the needle.
