Device typeVitrectomy system micro-cutting unit: A sterile, pneumatically-powered, hand-held cutting tool that incorporates a vitrectomy system handpiece, micro-tip and connecting tubing as a single unit, intended to remove (nibble away) vitreous humour (the jelly-like substance that fills the centre of the eye) during ophthalmic surgery. The tubing transmits pneumatic power produced by a system generator to the handpiece which converts this into a mechanical oscillating-cutting action at the tip. This device will typically be activated by the surgeon using a foot control and provide or support the irrigation/suction systems needed to supply replacement fluid and remove debris. This is a single-use device.
