Vitrectomy is the surgical removal of the vitreous gel from the middle of the eye. This surgical treatment is usually required in patients who have retinal detachment, retinal tears, bleeding in the vitreous gel, or severe scar tissue formation on the retina.
Bausch + Lomb have now introduced the new, Stellaris(r) PC (Procedural Choice) Vision Enhancement System to eye surgeons. This system has been named PC (Procedural Choice) Vision Enhancement System because it gives choice to the eye surgeon to perform vitrectomy or cataract surgery in a single compact system using most advanced technology.
This Stellaris(r) PC Vision Enhancement System has an innovative design with wireless foot pedal which allows it to occupy less space. It can be quickly installed either in a mobile surgery unit or in a hospital operating room at lower cost. This feature makes it accessible to greater number of patients at lower treatment cost.
For the surgeons, this Stellaris(r) PC Vision Enhancement System allows better visibility of eye tissue while performing surgery because it is fitted with dual light source and color filters. This system comes with revolutionary Stable Chamber(TM) tubing system which facilitates the eye surgeon to make the smallest incisions for both retinal and cataract surgeries. This was not possible with traditionally available bio-medical devices. This facilitates better clinical outcome with highest precision. This system comes with vitrectomy probes which can operate on ultrahigh-speed and have very light weight. This significantly improves the success rate of transconjunctival vitrectomy procedures.
