The viscous fluid pump.
We describe a device useful for injection of viscoelastic material into the vitreous cavity for internal tamponade. The instrument has proven to be reliable and "user friendly" in a clinical setting.

A new intraocular aspiration probe with bipolar cautery and reflux capabilities.
The design of the Mentor Wet-Field eraser (Mentor O & O Inc, Norwell, Mass) has been modified so as to include fluid aspiration and reflux capabilities. This 20-gauge disposable probe minimizes instrument exchange through sclerotomy ports and provides sensitive control over reflux action by minimizing the dead-space volume over which reflux occurs. Safer manipulation of detached retina, membranes, and clots is therefore achieved.
