The Importance of Intraocular Pressure Stability During Retinal Surgery

Key Takeaway Points: 

 

The extremes of intraoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) are deleterious and can lead to visual loss

Patients with compromised retinal circulation are at particular risk and are oftentimes the ones requiring vitreoretinal surgery

Closed-loop control systems provide rapid, accurate delivery of the desired parameter

Constellation IOP Control is a closed-loop control system that rapidly provides the desired, precise, self-correcting intraoperative IOP regardless of applied vacuum changes or vitrectomy probe tissue or fluid engagement (set it and forget it)

Constellation IOP Control provides effective IOP compensation that adapts to complex surgical scenarios, allowing the surgeon to focus on the surgical task at hand
