Abstract
A length of malleable tubing has opposite proximal and distal ends, with the proximal end being adapted for connection to a surgical light source or a surgical fluid source, and the distal end being adapted for attachment to an ophthalmic surgery instrument. The tubing has an interior bore that extends along the length of the tubing. A length of wire is secured to the tubing along the tubing length. The wire is malleable, and bending the wire holds the tubing in the bent configuration of the wire. In alternate embodiments of the tubing, the length of wire is secured to an interior surface of the tubing interior bore or is contained in the side wall of the tubing between the bore interior surface and the tubing exterior surface.
