The new Pressure-Controlled Infusion System (PCIS) automatically maintains intraocular pressure (IOP) during eye surgery. This system significantly reduces dangerous pressure fluctuations common with traditional gravity infusion methods.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Maintaining stable intraocular pressure (IOP) is critical during ophthalmic surgery.
  • Traditional gravity-fed infusion systems are prone to significant pressure fluctuations.
  • These fluctuations can lead to complications and affect surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel Pressure-Controlled Infusion System (PCIS).
  • To compare the performance of PCIS against gravity-fed infusion in maintaining IOP during closed-system surgery.
  • To assess the impact of PCIS on IOP stability during various surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-clinical study conducted on rabbits.
  • Comparison of IOP during closed-system surgery using gravity infusion versus PCIS.

  • Evaluation across multiple surgical phases: irrigation/aspiration, wound closure, and vitrectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • PCIS automatically maintained pre-set intraocular pressure levels throughout closed surgery.
    • PCIS dramatically reduced pressure fluctuations compared to gravity infusion.
    • Consistent IOP control was observed during lens cortex irrigation/aspiration, wound closure, and vitrectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • The PCIS offers reliable automatic regulation of intraocular pressure during ophthalmic surgery.
    • PCIS significantly enhances IOP stability, mitigating risks associated with pressure variations.
    • This technology represents a substantial advancement in closed-system ophthalmic surgical procedures.
