    This paper introduces novel surgical instruments: a vibrotome for cutting vitreous strands and a hyalophage for vitreous tissue removal. A motorized stereotaxic micromanipulator is also presented for enhanced precision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Vitreous surgery requires precise instruments for tissue manipulation.
    • Existing tools may lack the necessary precision or functionality for complex procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe novel instruments designed to improve vitreous surgery.
    • To introduce a vibrotome for cutting vitreous strands.
    • To present a hyalophage for vitreous tissue removal and a motorized stereotaxic micromanipulator.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a novel vibrotome for precise vitreous strand cutting.
    • Introduction of a hyalophage device for efficient vitreous tissue removal.
    • Presentation of a motorized stereotaxic micromanipulator for advanced surgical control.
