Phacoemulsification Systems Manufacturers

Phacoemulsification systems possess two major integrated units: fluidic systems consisting of irrigation, aspiration, and cooling; and an ultrasonic system to fragment the lens. Additional components of phacoemulsification systems may include cautery and vitrectomy units. The fluidic system involves the active flow of fluids into and from the anterior chamber of the eye. During phacoemulsification some limited intraocular pressure is produced to maintain the eye at its normal size; this is particularly important in animals in which the low scleral rigidity collapses the anterior segment once aqueous humor is removed. The delivery and egress of balanced salt solution or lactated Ringer's solution is controlled by the ophthalmic surgeon via a foot control which can maintain a balance of irrigation and aspiration to provide sufficient inflation of the anterior segment, facilitate removal of lens fragments, and cool the ultrasonic components.
