  • Title: Modification of an irrigation/aspiration handpiece to provide visual and tactile orientation of the aspiration port.
    Author: Hagan JC.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1987 Dec; 18(12):906-7. PubMed ID: 3444605.
    Abstract:
    To perform extracapsular cataract extraction safely the surgeon must know the orientation of the aspiration port of the irrigation/aspiration handpiece at all times. I have modified a commercially available irrigation/aspiration handpiece to allow visual and tactile orientation of the aspiration port even when it is obscured by iris, blood, or cortex.
