We have designed a new instrument that dissects and cuts complex vitreoretinal membranes. It is a modified hook with a wedge-shaped front end. An anvil-like platform serves as a "chopping block." An oscillating knife, housed in the hollow shaft of the hook, is driven against the anvil to cut the membrane. The instrument is powered by compressed air and controlled by a multifunctional, portable console and universal pedal. We evaluated the system in 125 cases of complicated retinal detachment and found it to be effective, safe, reliable, and durable. The console and pedal can also serve to activate other instruments used in all intraocular microsurgical procedures, including vitrectomy and cataract surgery, and to interface with diathermy, cryosurgery, endolaser, and phacofragmentation machines.
我们设计了一种用于解剖和切割复杂玻璃体视网膜膜的新型器械。它是一种前端为楔形的改良型钩状器械。一个砧状平台充当“砧板”。置于钩状器械空心杆内的振荡刀，对着砧状平台驱动以切割膜。该器械由压缩空气驱动，并由多功能便携式控制台和通用踏板控制。我们在125例复杂视网膜脱离病例中对该系统进行了评估，发现其有效、安全、可靠且耐用。该控制台和踏板还可用于启动所有眼内显微手术（包括玻璃体切除术和白内障手术）中使用的其他器械，并与透热疗法、冷冻手术、眼内激光和超声乳化仪连接。
