Systems and methods for ocular surgery

摘要

Ocular surgery may be performed by a variety of systems, processes, and techniques. In certain implementations, systems and processes for ocular surgery may include the ability to emulsify a lens in an eye using a modular hand-held system including a phacoemulsification unit detachably coupled to a pump unit and remove lens portions from the eye using suction provided by the pump unit. The system and the process may also include the ability to decouple the phacoemulsification unit from the pump unit, couple an irrigation-aspiration unit to the pump unit to form a second hand-held system, and remove material from the eye using suction provided by the pump unit.

主权项

1. A modular hand-held system for ocular surgery, the system comprising:
a hand-held phacoemulsification unit; and a hand-held pump unit, the pump unit adapted to provide suction for aspirating material through the phacoemulsification unit, the pump unit comprising:
an adapter configured to detachably couple the phacoemulsification unit to the pump unit to form an integrated hand-held system;a pumping portion comprising a fluid port; anda drive portion comprising a slot, the fluid port receivable into the slot to secure the pumping portion to the drive portion,wherein the pumping portion further comprises an inner shell that defines a cylindrical cavity, wherein the drive portion further comprises a rotor that is receivable into the cylindrical cavity upon coupling of the drive system to the pumping portion.
