title: A new device for performing fluid-gas exchanges.
abstract: A new device was developed for performing outpatient fluid-gas exchanges in vitrectomized eyes. This device allows the operator to hold his needle in position steadily with less effort and fatigue. It is particularly useful for fluid-gas exchanges in phakic eyes where precise needle positioning is required.
