    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Effective fluid management is crucial during intraocular surgery to maintain clear visualization.
    • Traditional methods for irrigation fluid drainage can be complex or inefficient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel, simple wick for draining irrigation fluids during intraocular procedures.
    • To assess the efficacy and practicality of using a Mentor Merocel instrument wipe as a surgical wick.

    Main Methods:

    • A wick was fashioned using a Mentor Merocel instrument wipe.
    • The wick was employed to drain irrigation fluids during intraocular surgery.

    Main Results:

    • The Mentor Merocel wick demonstrated effective drainage of irrigation fluids.
    • The method proved to be simple and practical for intraocular surgical settings.

    Conclusions:

    • A Mentor Merocel instrument wipe serves as a simple and effective wick for intraocular surgery fluid drainage.
    • This technique offers a valuable, low-cost option for managing irrigation fluid in ophthalmic procedures.
