New coaxial system for manual extracapsular cataract surgery.
A partially disposable coaxial system for manual extracapsular extraction is presented. This system provides for straight and curved irrigation/aspiration cannulas by means of a flexible outer sleeve. The elimination of a variety of connector tubings and nonluer-locked fittings has reduced intraoperative manipulations when compared to other partially disposable irrigation/aspiration systems.
