Zusammenfassung:An ophthalmic surgical irrigation assembly for attachment to an ophthalmic surgical instrument. The assembly includes an elongated sleeve having a hollow interior space through which fluid is passed and surrounds a majority length of a cannula attached to the ophthalmic surgical instrument. A fluid port formed adjacent a distal end of the elongated sleeve allows the fluid to exit the interior space. A distal opening in the elongated sleeve allows a distal portion of the cannula to extend beyond the distal opening. A hub integrally formed with a proximal end of the elongated sleeve is adapted for fluid tight attachment to at least a portion of the surgical instrument and allows fluid to flow from the surgical instrument through the interior space and exit out of the fluid port. The elongated sleeve and the hub are each formed of a polyether block amide resin.
