Abstract:
Systems and methods for assembling an illuminated infusion cannula involving an optical fiber support assembly with an optical fiber support tube and a positioning insert that couples within a cannula and that can position an optical fiber in the tip of the cannula while supporting substantially laminar and minimally-restricted fluid flow through the cannula.

Claim (Index 1):
An ophthalmic surgery assembly comprising:\n a cannula having a thin distal tip and a flared proximal body; a positioning insert having a shape configured to fit tightly within the flared proximal body of the cannula and having a passage disposed through an axial length of the positioning insert; and an optical fiber support tube having an inner diameter configured to allow an optical fiber to be housed therein and having an outer diameter configured to fit into the passage in the positioning insert such that the positioning insert, when placed within the flared proximal body of the cannula, maintains substantial centration of a distal fiber tip of the optical fiber.
