    摘要: An ophthalmic surgical device 10 includes a housing 12 having a distal end 14 and a proximal end 16. A cannula 18 is attached to the housing distal end 14 and has a distal tip 20 with at least one port 22 in communication with a lumen 19 extending through the cannula 18 and in communication with an aspiration path 24 in the housing 12. A vibration source 26 is held within the housing 12 for vibrating the distal tip 20 for assisting in vitreous and other tissue removal. An aspiration source 152 connected to the aspiration path 24 for applying a negative pressure to the lumen 19 and the at least one port 22 for removing fluids and the vitreous and other tissue from the eye. The vibration source 26 and the aspiration source 152 together create a periodic bidirectional flow of tissue through the port 22 without creating cavitation externally of the distal tip 20.

    摘要: A system for removing material from the body of a patient, the system including a aspiration catheter insertable into the patient having a distal end with a steerable tip configured to bend in one or more directions and a controller mechanically coupled to the aspiration catheter and operable by a user to bend the steerable tip in the one or more directions. The system may also include a pump having an inlet port in fluid communication with the aspiration catheter and a discharge port in fluid communication with a return catheter configured to be inserted into the patient to return aspirated blood to the patient. A filter device may be positioned between the aspiration catheter and the pump, the filter device configured to trap solid material received in the aspiration catheter from the body of the patient.
