Novel device for creating continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis
1Mechatronics Laboratory, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri, Turkey.
Purpose:
The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel capsulorhexis system.
Setting:
Mechatronics Laboratory, University of Erciyes and Kayseri Maya Eye Hospital.
Design:
A 3D model was created and simulations were conducted to develop a new device which was designed, fabricated and tested for continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). The name of this system is the electro-mechanical capsulorhexis system (EMCS).
Methods:
The 3D model was created by using a commercial design software and a 3D printer was used to fabricate the EMCS Finite element analysis and geometrical relation tests of the EMCS for different sized lenses were performed.
Results:
The results show that the EMCS is a perfect solution for capsulorhexis surgeries, without mechanical or geometrical problems.
Conclusions:
The EMCS can open the anterior lens capsule more easily and effectively than manual CCC applications and needs less experience.
