Apparatus for lenticular liquefaction and aspiration

Abstract

It DESCRIBED a technique to liquefy or gel a HARD CORE CATARACT LENTICULAR (42) AND suck. HEAT IS GIVEN OR A SOLUTION IN HEATED lens nucleus (42) SO LIVE IN HEAT OR ENTERING THE SOLUTION CONTACT HEATED CORE HARD to heat and liquefy. The lens nucleus (42) is irrigated simultaneously with a cooled (34) to thereby LIMITED TO VERY SMALL AREA A SPACE WHERE THE HEAT OR THE SOLUTION HEATED ARE PRESENT IN THE EYE (40). This allows the surgeon to perform precise control over intraocular anterior segment structures EYE THAT ARE EXPOSED TO HEAT OR THE SOLUTION HEATED (30). BELOW EYE ASPIRATED LIQUEFIED MATERIAL lens nucleus (22, 36, 37). This eliminates the lens nucleus A through an incision 1-2 mm MADE IN LIMBO CORNEAL (46), WHICH IS SMALLER THAN THE TECHNICAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT WITH PREVIOUSLY KNOWN. ALL THAT benefits the patient, allowing remove the cataract through a small incision NON TRAUMATIC STRUCTURES FOR INTRAOCULAR. GROUNDS also benefits the surgeon and patient, BECAUSE THIS IS A SURGICAL OPERATION simple and relatively quick to perform. This method has differs markedly OF CURRENT phacoemulsification, which can be very traumatic for INTRAOCULAR STRUCTURES AND SURGERY IS A RELATIVELY DIFFICULT.
