Micro-Incision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS)

23-Gauge

With ACCURUS® Surgical System 23-Gauge, Your Performance Needs and Benefits for Your Patients Come Together as Never Before

23-gauge combines the best features of 20-gauge and 25-gauge with much more

  • Ultra high-speed 5000 cpm probe engineered to reduce traction
  • Designed to increase stiffness and stability
  • Ideal flow rates
  • Vitrectomy probe port is 50% closer to the tip than 20-gauge instruments, which can allow for more precise shaving at the retina

Single-step entry system:

  • Sharp solid trocar blade allows cannulas to be inserted in one simple step
  • Angled incision allows for better wound apposition1
  • Thin-wall metal cannula designed to reduce instrument friction
