A disposable absorbent article is provided which includes a substantially liquid-impermeable outer cover, a liquid permeable bodyside liner, an absorbent body located between the outer cover and the bodyside liner, and a pair of leg elastics located on the laterally opposed side edges of the article

A disposable absorbent article is provided which includes a substantially liquid-impermeable outer cover, a liquid permeable bodyside liner, an absorbent body located between the outer cover and the bodyside liner, and a pair of leg elastics located on the laterally opposed side edges of the article in at least the intermediate section of the article. The outer cover can be configured to provide a substantially permanent deformation of at least about 10 percent when subjected to a tensile force of 100 gmf per inch (per 2.54 cm) of width according to the Material Elongation and Deformation Tensile Test set forth herein. The permanent deformation of the outer cover in use can result in the article having a substantially permanent leg elastic deformation value of at least about 3 percent when subjected to the Product Deformation Test set forth herein.

A device for reducing an ophthalmic lens within the lens capsule of a mammalian eye, said device comprising: an elongate probe insertable into the lens capsule and defining a longitudinal axis, said probe comprising an impeller shaft having a lens-reducing head disposed at a distal end thereof, wherein an axis of rotation of said impeller shaft is generally coincident with said longitudinal axis; a handpiece having an interior space, a front end, and a back end, wherein a proximal portion of said elongate probe extends through said handpiece front end; a pneumatic drive assembly disposed in said handpiece interior space, said pneumatic drive assembly comprising a turbine, wherein a direct drive connection transfers rotational energy from said turbine to said impeller shaft; and further comprising a translation apparatus for longitudinally moving said drive assembly, said translation apparatus being at least partially disposed in said handpiece interior space wherein said translation apparatus comprises an inflatable bladder disposed between said handpiece back end and said drive assembly. 18. The device of claim 17 wherein said device includes at least one spring to bias the drive assembly to retract to a position proximate the back end of said handpiece when said bladder is not inflated. 19. A device for reducing an ophthalmic lens within the lens capsule of a mammalian eye, said device comprising: an elongate probe insertable into the lens capsule and defining a longitudinal axis, said probe comprising an impeller shaft having a lens-reducing head disposed at a distal end thereof, wherein an axis of rotation of said impeller shaft is generally coincident with said longitudinal axis; a handpiece having an interior space, a front end, and a back end, wherein a proximal portion of said elongate probe extends through said handpiece front end; a drive assembly disposed in said handpiece interior space functionally connected to a proximal portion of said impeller shaft such that said impeller shaft rotates upon operation of said drive assembly; a translation apparatus at least partially disposed in said handpiece interior space and connected to longitudinally displace said drive assembly; and wherein said translation apparatus comprises an inflatable bladder disposed between such handpiece back end and said drive assembly. 20. The device of claim 19 wherein said device includes structure to cause the drive assembly to retract to a position proximate the back end of said handpiece when said bladder is not inflated. 21. The device of claim 20 wherein said structure comprises at least one spring to bias the drive assembly to the retracted position. 22. The device of claim 19 wherein said wherein said bladder comprises: a cylindrical
