A novel syringe device effectively injects and removes viscous silicone oil. Special outlets in the plunger and handle eliminate interfering air, ensuring reliable performance in over 100 procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Handling highly viscous silicone oil for medical procedures presents challenges.
  • Air bubbles can interfere with the precise injection and evacuation of viscous fluids.
  • Existing syringe technologies may not be optimized for high-viscosity materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved syringe device for managing highly viscous silicone oil.
  • To address and resolve the issue of air interference during injection and evacuation procedures.
  • To create a reliable and safe system for viscous fluid handling.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of a conventional glass syringe with specialized outlets in the plunger and handle.
  • Integration of a commercial motor perfusor to power the syringe device.
