Efficient, safe and precise - by creating a vacuum
A vitrectomy is the surgical removal of a transparent, gel-like mass inside the eye called the vitreous. Compressed air is used during the operation, and the delicate retina is protected by a vacuum: Creating a vacuum increases the impact speed of the pneumatic cutter, allowing tissue to be removed more efficiently and precisely. At the same time, the vacuum reduces local pressure on the retina, allowing the surgeon to operate in a tissue-friendly and safe manner.
The compressed air from the SICOLAB compressor has already been pre qualified for use with the following phaco and vitrectomy systems: Stellaris Elite, PC from Bausch + Lomb, EVA Phaco-Vitrectomy System from DORC, VISALIS S500, VISALIS V500 from ZEISS, OS 3 / OS 4 from Oertli, CONSTELLATION® Vision System from Alcon, R-Evolution®, R-Evo smart® series from BVI, Pulsar 2 series from OPTIKON, and the GALAXY TURBO ORBIT from Appasamy Associates.

Medical compressed air for drying your ophthalmic surgical instruments
After manual reprocessing of medical instruments, hygienic drying is an important step. For example, if ophthalmic instruments used in an eye operation - especially hollow instruments - are stored with residual moisture, the risk of bacterial growth is high.
You can eliminate these risks by drying your ophthalmic surgical instruments with medical grade compressed air.
Dürr Technik's SICOLAB mini ENDO is the first compressor with a stainless steel air gun certified as a Class I medical device under the European Medical Device Directive MDR 2017/745 for drying endoscopes and MIS instruments.
Dürr Technik has been the market leader in Germany for small and quiet air compressors for the medical sector with on-site service for many years. Our small medical premium compressors are "made in Germany", quiet, durable and easy to operate. Apart from an annual filter change, they are completely maintenance-free.
