The Vitrectomy Cutter (Vitrector) is a high-precision ophthalmic instrument used in pars plana vitrectomy for cutting and aspirating the vitreous humor. Featuring a high-speed guillotine mechanism, it ensures smooth vitreous removal with minimal traction and excellent surgical control.
Professional Vitrectomy Cutter for Advanced Vitreoretinal Surgery
The Vitrectomy Cutter, also known as a Vitrector, is a core instrument in modern vitreoretinal surgery used for the controlled cutting and removal of vitreous gel during pars plana vitrectomy procedures. It plays a critical role in treating retinal disorders by enabling safe and efficient vitreous removal while maintaining intraocular stability.
Engineered with a high-speed guillotine cutting system, the vitrector delivers precise cutting action with minimal traction on surrounding retinal structures. This significantly reduces the risk of retinal tears and improves overall surgical safety.
Designed for compatibility with pneumatic and electric drive systems, the instrument supports modern micro-incision vitreoretinal surgery techniques and is available in multiple gauge sizes for different surgical requirements.
