Efficiency, safety and precision through the creation of a vacuum
In a vitrectomy, a transparent, gel-like mass inside the eye – known as the vitreous – is surgically removed. During the operation, compressed air is required to protect the sensitive retina by creating a vacuum. The vacuum increases the impact speed of the pneumatic cutters, enabling the tissue to be removed more efficiently and precisely. At the same time, the vacuum reduces local pressure on the retina, allowing the surgeon to work safely and with minimal tissue damage.
The compressed air from the SICOLAB compressor can be used with a wide range of phaco and vitrectomy systems: Stellaris Elite and PC from Bausch + Lomb, the EVA phaco-vitrectomy system from DORC, VISALIS S500 and VISALIS V500 from ZEISS, OS 3 and OS 4 from Oertli, the CONSTELLATION® Vision System from Alcon, the R-Evolution® and R-Evo smart® series from BVI, the Pulsar 2 series from OPTIKON, and the GALAXY TURBO ORBIT from Appasamy Associates.
If your model or manufacturer is not listed, we will be happy to check compatibility for you.
Medical compressed air for drying your eye surgery instruments
Following the manual reprocessing of medical instruments, hygienic drying is an important step. If, for example, ophthalmic instruments used in eye surgery – particularly hollow-body instruments – are stored whilst still containing residual moisture, there is a high risk of bacterial growth. You can eliminate these risks by drying your eye surgery instruments with medical-grade compressed air. The SICOLAB mini ENDO from Dürr Technik is the first compressor with a stainless steel air gun to be certified as a Class I medical device for the drying of endoscopes and MIC instruments in accordance with the European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) 2017/745.
