Monopolar coagulator for surgery with suprachoroidal access

Retinal detachment is a pathological condition that leads to vision loss without timely surgical treatment. To restore the anatomical integrity of detached retina, number interventions (Scleral Buckling, Pars Plana Vitrectomy, combined Vitrectomy/Scleral Pneumatic Retinopexy, cryo-, laser-, and electropexy) approaches damaged area are traditionally used, among which one new promising monopolar high-frequency electrocoagulation with suprachoroidal access. The advantages this method access possibility manipulations on hard-to-reach structures eye (choroid, outer parts retina macula), introduce medical drugs into space side effects. carry out such an operation, we developed (manufactured tested) electrical instrument capable restoring retina. tool working electrode, consists handle, terminal (for connecting electric cord active phase current generator) tip. rounded tip made gold ends in sphere diameter 25 G. radius round 29.0 mm, cross section 0.5 mm. allows you reach through both endovitreal accesses. shape part repeats curvature fundus eye. materials chosen for manufacture take account need its sterilization, safety ergonomics work. Keywords: retinal detachment, electrocoagulation, vitreoretinal surgery.
