    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • The Simcoe needle is known for its shape and conformity.
    • The Pearce/McIntyre needle offers practical gravity infusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new two-way, irrigating-aspirating needle.
    • To highlight its combined design features.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a 23- or 25-gauge two-way needle.
    • Comparison with existing needle designs.

    Main Results:

    • The new needle integrates the Simcoe needle's shape.
    • It also incorporates the Pearce/McIntyre needle's gravity infusion.

    Conclusions:

  • A versatile irrigating-aspirating needle is presented.
  • This design aims to improve surgical efficiency and control.
