AI Article Synopsis
- A new multi-purpose titanium forceps has been created for small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy surgeries, making it an essential tool for vitreoretinal surgeons.
- The forceps aim to simplify the process of placing and removing 23- and 25-gauge trochars, which are used in minimally invasive eye surgeries.
- Key features include the ability to gently manipulate the conjunctiva, measure distances accurately, and securely handle the trochar for both attachment and removal.
Article Abstract
A multi-purpose titanium forceps has been developed for small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy surgery. These forceps were designed to provide the vitreoretinal surgeon with a single tool for the extraocular manipulations that are necessary for the placement and removal of 23- and 25-gauge trochars for small-incision, sutureless pars plana vitrectomy surgery. The forceps has been designed to allow for the atraumatic manipulation of the conjunctiva, measurement of distance from the limbus, and a strong purchase of the trochar for both its fixation and removal.
