Ophthalmic lubrication system and associated apparatus, systems, and methods

A lubrication component adapted to be coupled to a pump component of a pump system, the lubrication component comprising:

• a housing comprising a lumen;
• a flexible tubular structure disposed in the housing and comprising:
• an interior cavity adapted to be filled with a lubricating solution and adapted to receive a rotating component of the pump component,
• a central section in fluid communication with the lumen and configured to transport a fluid from the lumen, and
• flexible tubular components in fluid communication with the central section, the flexible tubular components dividing the central section into separate fluid flow paths, the flexible tubular components disposed adjacent to the interior cavity and adjacent the rotating component;
• a cap disposed at a distal end of the cavity, the cap comprising a recess adapted to receive a distal end of a rotating component of the pump component of the pump system;
• a channel in fluid communication with flexible tubular components at an end of the flexible tubular components opposite the central section;
• and
• an aspiration lumen in fluid communication with the channel, the aspiration lumen adapted to evacuate fluid away from the lubrication component.
