Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an infusion cannula for infusion/venting of fluids to/from the eye to control intraocular pressure. The infusion cannula includes a tubular body with a tubular inlet located at a proximal end of the tubular body and a tubular outlet located at a distal end of the tubular body. The tubular outlet is aligned with a first longitudinal axis and configured to extend through a septum of a valved cannula hub. The infusion cannula includes a retention piece extending from or coupled to the tubular body. The retention piece has an annular body surrounding the tubular body at the distal end of the tubular body and configured to be coupled to the valved cannula hub. An inner surface of the annular body has a profile configured to form a snap fit with an overhang formed along an outer surface of the valved cannula hub.

Abstract: A surgical cassette for an ophthalmic surgical system comprises an irrigation system and an aspiration system. The irrigation system is in fluid communication with a handpiece and carries fluid toward a surgical site. The aspiration system is in fluid communication with the handpiece via an aspiration conduit, and carries fluid away from the surgical site. The aspiration system comprises a chamber that expands to store fluid, and collapses to move the fluid to meet a volume demand in the aspiration conduit to mitigate a post-occlusion break surge.

Abstract: A surgical cassette for an ophthalmic surgical system includes an irrigation system and an aspiration system. The irrigation system is in fluid communication with a handpiece and carries fluid toward a surgical site. The aspiration system is in fluid communication with the handpiece and carries fluid away from the surgical site. The aspiration system includes an aspiration pump and tubing of an aspiration conduit. The aspiration pump generates a normal vacuum pressure within the aspiration conduit to carry fluid away from the surgical site during normal operation. The tubing has a larger cross-sectional area in response to normal vacuum pressure. The tubing collapses from the larger cross-sectional area to a smaller cross-sectional area in response to an occlusion; maintains the smaller cross-sectional area during a post-occlusion break surge to mitigate the post-occlusion break surge; and returns to the larger cross-sectional area after the post-occlusion break surge.

Abstract: An ultrasonic cutting tip has a hollow shaft with a proximal and distal end. The proximal end is configured to be attached to an ultrasonic hand piece, and the distal end has a smooth continuous surface. An opening is located near the distal end of the hollow shaft. The opening is configured to cut vitreous when the cutting tip is vibrated ultrasonically in a torsional manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) during ophthalmic surgery. In some embodiments, a method for measuring IOP is provided. The method includes measuring fluid pressure in a fluid flow path of a handpiece device using a pressure sensor disposed therein to obtain a fluid pressure measurement, determining a sensor temperature measurement of the pressure sensor, determining a predicted sensor zero offset based on the sensor temperature measurement using a determined zero offset correlation function, and adjusting the fluid pressure measurement with the predicted sensor zero offset to obtain an adjusted fluid pressure measurement.

Abstract: A surgical cassette for an ophthalmic surgical system includes an irrigation system, an aspiration system, and a computer. The irrigation system is in fluid communication with a handpiece and carries fluid toward a surgical site. The aspiration system is in fluid communication with the handpiece via an aspiration conduit and carries fluid away from the surgical site. The computer instructs the aspiration system to vibrate fluid back and forth within the aspiration conduit to perform a priming procedure.

Abstract: A controller for an ultrasonic handpiece having a load in the form of at least one piezoelectric drive crystal includes a processor and a computer-readable storage memory on which is recorded a computer-readable instruction set. Execution of the instruction set during real-time operation of the handpiece causes the processor to perform an associated method, during which the processor calculates a load capacitance of the load and a dissipation factor of the load capacitance. The processor also records the load capacitance and dissipation factor in memory over time as a recorded capacitance history. The processor then executes a control action of the handpiece using the recorded capacitance history and possibly one or more additional recorded electrical parameters such as estimated resistance, estimated inductance, and/or measured temperature, or correlations of the same with resonant frequency over time.

Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a surgical cassette for an ophthalmic surgical system comprises an irrigation conduit that is in fluid communication with a handpiece and carries fluid toward a surgical site. An aspiration conduit is in fluid communication with the handpiece and carries fluid away from the surgical site. An aspiration pump creates a vacuum pressure in the aspiration conduit to draw fluid through the aspiration conduit towards a drain reservoir. A reservoir couples with a pressure-vacuum source to manage the reservoir pressure. A valve is in fluid communication with the aspiration conduit and the reservoir, and provides one or more channels between the aspiration conduit and the reservoir. Each sensor detects a pressure associated with the surgical site. A computer controls the valve in response to the pressure detected by the one or more pressure sensors to mitigate a pressure or volume change.

Abstract: An ultrasonic handpiece includes a piezoelectric element assembly. Control signals drive the piezoelectric element assembly simultaneously in a first mode of oscillation and a second mode of oscillation. Feedback of a resulting oscillation of the piezoelectric element assembly in the first mode and the second mode is generated. Based on the feedback, the frequency of each of the first mode and second mode is independently adjusted, as needed, so that the resulting oscillation of each of the first mode and the second mode is each approximately at its respective resonant frequency.
