MEDiSURG Phaco Physics & Fluiditics Course Intro

Phaco Physics & Fluidics, a video series produced by MEDiSURG, will premiere this month. If you're interested in the most cutting-edge tools and education for eye surgery, subscribe to our channel on UA-cam.
Modern cataract surgery, known as phacoemulsification, makes use of ultrasound energy to emulsify the nucleus, a vacuum to collect the nuclear material, and irrigation and aspiration to remove the cortex and viscoelastic. The components of a standard phaco machine are the handpiece, foot pedal, irrigation system, and aspiration device.
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery necessitates the use of specialized phaco equipment. The surgeon's ability to optimize machine settings and safely trouble shoot difficulties during surgery relies on his or her familiarity with the mechanical concepts behind this technology.
