An aspiration flow modulation device ( 10, 20, 50 ) having an irrigation line component ( 14, 24, 52 ) and an aspiration line component ( 12, 22, 54 ). A fluid communication lumen ( 12, 28, 75 ) extends between the components so as to provide a flow of fluid to reduce pressure variations in the event that the aspiration line becomes occluded in use. |
