Vitrectomy system handpiece

A vitrectomy system handpiece is a surgical tool used in eye procedures to remove the vitreous humour—the gel-like substance inside the eye—through precise cutting and oscillation. It works alongside a generator to deliver controlled mechanical action, often paired with irrigation and suction to clear debris and maintain eye stability during vitrectomy surgery.

These reusable devices require sterilization before use and are typically connected to a generator via a cable, resembling a pen or pencil in design. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical role and risk profile, with compliance requirements tied to their intended use in ophthalmic procedures.
