Characteristics of Smaller, High-Speed Vitrectomy Probes that Can Improve Efficiency and Safety

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS

Increased understanding of fluidics has contributed to the evolution of vitrectomy cutters

Flow for balanced saline solution (BSS) and vitreous behave differently due to material properties

Advancements in vitrectomy cutter technologies allow for safer and more efficient vitreous removal

27-gauge vitrectomy probes have the benefit of use as a multifunction tool
