Clinical Application
Provides controlled aspiration in confined operative fields where simultaneous illumination improves visualization. Commonly used in ophthalmic microsurgery and other small-field procedures to remove fluids and particulate debris while maintaining a clear view of the surgical site. The integrated fiber optic illumination facilitates target identification during delicate maneuvers.
Design & Configuration
The slender 10Fr lumen delivers balanced aspiration flow with fine control appropriate for microsurgical work. A 13 cm shaft length offers reach into the operative field while maintaining tactile feedback and maneuverability. The integrated fiber optic element directs light toward the tip, reducing shadowing and improving depth perception without adding bulk to the shaft.
