Patent ID: 8631831

Claim:
An aspiration tubing, comprising: a high compliant section; a low compliant section having a different geometry than the high compliant section, wherein the different geometry gives the low compliant section a lower compliance than the high compliant section; a transition section coupling the high compliant section to the low compliant section such that fluid can travel through the transition section from the high compliant section and into the low compliant section; wherein the transition section comprises a length of tubing that is continuous with the high compliant section and the low compliant section; wherein an end of the transition section adjacent the high compliant section matches the geometry of the high compliant section and wherein an opposing end of the transition section that is adjacent the low compliant section matches the geometry of the low compliant section; wherein the transition section gradually changes geometry along the length of the transition section between matching the end adjacent the high compliant section and matching the opposing end adjacent the low compliant section; wherein the high compliant section is configured to couple to a handpiece; and wherein the low compliant section is configured to couple to a surgical console.
