[New instrument for extracapsular cataract extraction].
A new cannula for use during vitreotomy is proposed with the object of improving extracapsular cataract extraction techniques. The cannula offers the advantages of allowing infusion through the aspiration opening to produce an immediate deep anterior chamber, of easy cleaning of the opening without the need for removal from the anterior chamber, and of the possibility of removing small remnants of the anterior lens capsule.
