ABSTRACT:
A sleeve for a medical handpiece. The sleeve has a flexible outer sleeve and a rigid inner sleeve that are both coupled to a case of the handpiece. Coupling the rigid inner sleeve to the case increases the effective stiffness of the inner sleeve. Increasing the effective stiffness of the rigid inner sleeve reduces the likelihood of contact between the inner sleeve and a tip of the handpiece even when non-symmetric forces are applied to the sleeve.
