KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS
- Vitroretinal surgery is a relatively “new” specialty that has advanced as technology has evolved
- Decreased Vitrectomy cutter gauge size and faster guillotine cut rates can reduce tractional forces and pulsatile motion in the cutter’s sphere of influence
- Bevel-tip vitrectomy cutters allow dissection closer to the retinal surface as well as reduce the sphere of influence near the cutter tip when compared to flat-tip cutters
- Dual-blade vitrectomy cutters provide much faster cut rates and provide a nearly 100% duty cycle, approaching an “ideal” vitrectomy cutter profile that can help increase efficiency and safety
