Vitreo-retinal and Anterior Segments Micro F/S Tips All Gauges (21G)

• Angle trocars obliquely (20–30°) to reduce wound leakage.
• Ensure proper alignment to avoid instrument friction.
• Use bimanual techniques for stability in small-gauge surgery.
• Minimize torque on sclerotomies to prevent retinal tears.
• Higher flow rates needed for smaller gauges (e.g., 27G) due to increased resistance.
• Adjust cut rate, vacuum, and infusion pressure based on gauge size.
• Faster healing, less trauma, but reduced flow efficiency.
• Use high-speed cutters (>5,000 cuts/min) to compensate for lower flow.
• Better for dense vitreous hemorrhage or complex detachments.
• Use chandelier lighting for bimanual maneuvers.
