A Surgical aspierator for Cataract Surgery.
This device has been developed for the
purpose of ensuring a good
Field of operation by preventing water from
stagnating in the deep-set-dye
During cataract surgery.
In a conventional eye speculum type aspirator, the aspiration hole faces
the conjunctiva. Consequently, the conjunctiva is often aspired during surgery,
and the hole tends to become clogged. In order to overcome this defect, several holesare generally made in the device, but since some holes are open to the air, only
air is aspirated, resulting in a reduction in the aspiration effect.In SUPER DRAINER which was developed to eliminate these defects,
aspiration hole are provided in a canteen-shaped vessel. Accordingly,
the device can ensure a
Satisfactoryfield of operation, becaue, (1) it hardly aspirates the conjuctiva.
(2) it maintains a high aspiration effect, aspirating no air as long as there is
water in the fieldPatent No3006788
