Abstract

A surgical system includes a replaceable surgical cassette that is configured to be received by a surgical console, the surgical cassette permitting fluid flow through the cassette, the surgical system controlling the flow of fluid through the cassette via one or more flexible valves actuated by one or more actuation plungers located on the surgical console. The one or more flexible valves of the surgical cassette and the one or more actuation plungers of the surgical console include a positioning feature configured to assist with positioning the one or more actuation plungers to apply uniform and symmetric pressure to the one or more valves during actuation.
