Vitreoretinal Surgery Can Benefit From A New Beveled Tip Probe In 2023

 
The Asia-Pacific Academy Of Ophthalmology Congress, Held In Malaysia Recently, Discussed Using A Beveled Tip Ultra-Speed Probe For Vitreoretinal Surgery, Helping With Complete Vitreous Shaving. The Probe Is Causing Excitement Among Vitreoretinal Surgeons With A Continuous Duty Cycle And A Speed Of Twenty Thousand Cuts Per Minute.

The Style Currently Used For Vitrectomy Was Introduced In The 1970s And Has Evolved Slowly Over The Year. The Smaller Size Comes With Enormous Surgical Concerns, Including Decreased Vitreous Flow, Unwanted Flexibility, And Increased Surgical Times. Congress Saw The Benefits Of Using A Beveled Tip Ultra Speed Probe During Vitreoretinal Surgery. The Probe, Called The Hypervit Dual Blade Vitrectomy Probe, Can Do Up To Twenty Thousand Cuts In A
Single Minute Thanks To The Port Featured In The Inner Shaft Of The Probe. The Beveled Tip Design Comes In Three Gauge Sizes, Namely 23, 25+, And 27+.

The Continuous Open Port Style Is Ideal For Small Gauge Probes To Increase Cutting Efficiency And Reduce Fluid Turbulence, Improving The Balance Of The Vitreous Flow. The Port-To-Surface Distance Is Also Improved Thanks To The Beveled Tip. The Higher Cut Rates, When Compared To The Spring Return Systems, Complete With Dual-Pneumatic Tech, Enable The Vitreous Flow Rate To Be Up To Ninety Percent Higher With A 25+ Gauge And Forty-Eight Percent Higher With A 27+ Gauge.

The Peak Traction Force Was Also Decreased By Twenty-Eight Percent And Thirty-One Percent Lower. The Beveled Tip Facilitates And Improved Port-To-Surface Distance By Forty-Seven Percent. The Probe Can Also Work As A Picker, Lifting The Edge Of Thickened Membranes, Scissors For Membrane Segmentation, And A Membrane Peeler For Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling. It Is Also Effective For Vitreous Shaving And Aspirator During Surgery.
