Abstract: Systems, processes, and computer program products may be used to perform retinal surgery. In particular implementations, a system, a process, and a computer program product may include the ability to inject a retina manipulation fluid into an eye through an injection/extraction system and apply negative pressure to the injection/extraction system to facilitate extraction of fluid from the eye. The system, the process, and the computer program product may also include the ability to adjust the applied negative pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed is an exemplary wavelength converting illumination probe having an illumination probe that can be selectively connected to a light source configured to generate light at a first wavelength range. The illumination probe including a lumen defining an aperture in a distal end of the illumination probe for emitting light. The wavelength converting illumination probe further including a wavelength converting element disposed within the lumen of the illumination probe. The wavelength converting element operable for receiving light from the light source at the first wavelength range, and converting the light to a second wavelength range.

Abstract: An accessory is adapted to removably couple to a laser source connector separate from a fiber connector. The accessory includes a first contact element configured to form an electrical connection to a first portion of the laser source connector. The accessory further includes a second contact element configured to form an electrical connection to a second portion of the laser source connector. The second portion of the laser source connector is electrically insulated from the first portion of the laser source connector. The accessory also includes a network connected to the first contact element and the second contact element. The network establishes a defined electrical characteristic between the first and second contact element when a fiber connector is connected to laser source connector.

Abstract: An infusion cannula adapted to generate a spiral, laminar flow therein. In some implementations, the infusion cannula may include one or more flow-altering devices disposed within a passageway of the cannula. The flow-altering devices may include one or more blades adapted to form a spiral flow in the laminar flow regime. In some instances, the flow altering-device may include one or more baffles. Further, in other instances, the flow altering device may include a flow tube. The flow tube may be disposed tangential to a passageway of the cannula.

Abstract: An endoillumination system comprises a system controller and a light modulation apparatus responsive to the controller to alter at least one parameter associated with a input light beam to generate a modulated light beam. The endoillumination system further comprises an optical fiber for carrying the modulated light beam and a probe through which at least a portion of the optical fiber extends. The probe is sized for insertion into an eye.
