  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF OCULAR ENVIRONMENT DURING OCULAR SURGERY
    Publication number: 20240285428
    Abstract: A thermal control device for an ocular surgery system is provided, including a fluid heater interface module (FHIM) having an inflow port for receiving balanced salt solution (BSS) from the ocular surgery system, an outflow port for dispensing the BSS to a probe of the ocular surgery system, and internal heat transfer channels between the inflow port and the outflow port. A heating element is disposed adjacent to the FHIM to heat the heat transfer channels in the FHIM. A temperature sensor is disposed adjacent the outflow port. A microcontroller is provided to control heat output from the heating element. A user interface is provided with an outlet temperature control adjuster. A dynamic, precise temperature control of portions of the eye via the BSS is obtained. A method utilizing the FHIM is also provided.
