Seamless vitrectomy
A series of support instruments around the Uno Colorline Trocar system will help to ease work procedures in seamless vitrectomy, according to Geuder.
Three instruments have been developed in cooperation with Prof Dr med Lars-Olof Hattenbach, Ludwigshafen. The “Shark†bulb retaining ring is a ringshaped instrument reinforced with small “shark teeth†which fixates the eyeball during the insertion of the trocars without damaging the conjunctiva. The “Triangle†scleral depressor can be used for careful denting and secure holding without provoking rupture to the conjunctiva. With the “Horse Shoe†instrument, a lightning-quick extraction of the trocars is possible.
Further accessories are available including the seam-aid model “Bonnâ€, for easy stitching without opening the conjunctiva as well as the Bartz-Schmidt trocar occlusion forceps. “This is suitable for the removal of trocars, for trocar occlusion with liquid-air-exchange and for bulb rotation,†said a company spokeswoman.
