EYESPIRATOR- A novel do-it-yourself suction device
2023
Overview
Surgery, by nature, involves blood loss. Thus, suction plays an important role in ensuring a clean operating view and ease of access. In ophthalmology, there is a void for an efficient and flexible suction apparatus that is yet to be filled. Our innovation, the Eyespirator, is made using recycled or inexpensive parts, is easy to assemble, and can serve as a cost-effective alternative to the current apparatus under use. It helps to overcome the difficulties caused by large instruments and non-pliable suction tips, unregulated generation of vacuum, and high pressures generated causing trauma to the delicate structures, and can prove to be of immense use in fields such as ophthalmology where the small surgical field is a big challenge. It creates a vacuum by using a simple water pump and is regulated by a foot pedal. This can be deployed even in rural settings, and small modifications can allow its usage in a wide variety of surgical fields.
