TROCAR-BASED CHANDELIER VITRECTOMY

Chandelier illumination provides true bimanual manipulation during vitreoretinal surgery.

Our flexible chandelier solution is fitted with a flexible light fibre. This provides global visibility of the fundus for all surgical maneuvers in the posterior segment.

All chandelier illuminators from Oertli offer one-step access through a quick trocar-based solution in either 3-or 4-port vitrectomy surgeries. Due to the reliable snap-lock connection an accurate fixation into any Oertli Caliburn trocar is ensured. The surgeon can expect an extra wide and homogeneous illumination, as well as postoperative tight sclerotomies.

All light instruments have a comfort magnetic connector to the posterior platforms.

Introducing the WINDSOR KNIFE

 

We’re very excited to introduce the innovative Windsor Knife, manufactured by Core Surgical and designed by Richard Packard. The knife is designed to create a symmetrical wound that requires minimal stromal hydration to seal.

If you currently use a single bevel blade for multi-plane incisions, there will be little difference needed in technique when using the Windsor Knife. However, please be aware that due to the unique configuration of the blade it may feel slightly different from your usual keratome.

For the best results please follow these guidelines when making 3-Plane and 2-Plane incisions.

We enable vision with a new Phaco Lab

We are proud to announce the opening of a UCT/Envision Africa Phaco Lab in Cape Town. The Phaco Lab will enable registrars to simulate Phaco surgery, practice surgical techniques and maintain operating skills, especially during the pandemic when theatre opportunities are limited.

 

This was made possible by a collaboration between Envision Africa and Dr Hamzah Mustah (Consultant), Prof Nagib Du Toit (Head of Ophthalmology at UCT) and Mr. Deon Minnies (Head of Community Health Eye Institute UCT).

 

The Phaco lab was officially opened on the 15th of February 2021 , and our Envision Africa team are actively involved in assisting Doctors with the Phaco technology of the surgical platform at the centre – the Oertli Faros.

 

Envision Africa is committed to supporting the training of registrars and assisting wherever possible with future training programmes.

 

Together we enable vision.
