Vitrectomy fluid/gas handling handpieces and cannulas are specialized surgical tools used in vitreoretinal procedures to manage fluids and gases within the eye. They facilitate precise control during tasks like fluid drainage, subretinal fluid removal, retinal manipulation, and gas/fluid exchanges (such as air-gas or fluid-perfluorocarbon transitions).
These devices are typically single-use, sterile, and designed for invasive ophthalmic surgery. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as invasive medical devices due to their direct contact with the eye. Supply and classification depend on local medical device laws, which may require pre-market approval or registration.
