The Influence of Fluids With Varying Rheological Properties on the Field of Fluidic Effect During Vitrectomy.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the field of fluidic effect (FOE) at the vitrectomy port in a range of artificial vitreous solutions (AVS) with varying rheological characteristics to add insight into the effects surgeons observe during vitrectomy and how they change with a variety of console settings. Laboratory-based investigation using in vitro testing was carried out at Newcastle University, United Kingdom. Testing was conducted using an Eva Nexus Vitrectomy system (D.O.R.C. Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center [International] B.V., Zuidland, The Netherlands) using dual cutting action vitrectomy probes in 3 gauge sizes (23G, 25G, and 27G). Using AVS, particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were conducted for various console settings and AVS concentrations. Rheological ana
