IRRIGATION SLEEVES FOR USE WITH SURGICAL SYSTEMS

An irrigation sleeve (78) for use with a surgical system (40) comprising an irrigation source (68) and a surgical tool (44) comprises a sleeve body (86) extending between a proximal sleeve end (86P) and a distal sleeve end (86S), a first lumen (88) formed in the sleeve body (86) for receiving at least a portion of the surgical tool (44), and a second lumen (90) formed in the sleeve body (86), spaced from the first lumen (88), and comprising a proximal lumen region (92) and a distal lumen region (94). The proximal lumen region (92) extends from a lumen inlet (96) adapted for fluid communication with the irrigation source (68) to a lumen transition (98), and the distal lumen region (94) extends from the lumen transition (98) to a lumen outlet (100). The proximal lumen region (92) has a larger cross-sectional area than the distal lumen region (94) taken at the lumen transition (98). The distal lumen region (94) of the second lumen (90) is spaced out of fluid communication with the first lumen (88).
