Revolutionary fluidics
REVOLUTIONARY DUAL MODE FLUIDICS: VACUUM AND FLOW MODES
VACUFLOW VTI: VACUUM AND FLOW MODES
At the heart of EVA is a revolutionary fluid control system called Vacuflow VTi. Vacuflow VTi uses Valve Timing intelligence (VTi). The beauty of our Vacuflow VTi technology is that it eliminates the risk of unwanted pulsation or unwanted flow; it just effortlessly delivers the precise flow and fast vacuum required by the surgeon.
Vacuum mode
•Provides surgeon with efficiency: tissue comes to the port
• Ideal for core vitreous removal
• Controllable vacuum response time
Flow mode
• Provides control for precise removal of tissue
• Ideal fluidics for:
– shaving vitreous base
– trimming membranes for retinal tears
– working close to mobile retina
Single, universal cassette for cataract, vitrectomy and combined procedures
Fully programmable surgeon preferences
TDC
TDC: Two Dimensional Cutter
“TDC simplifies vitrectomy. Combined with the VTI pump of the EVA in vacuum or flow mode, TDC maximizes the efficiency and the reduced turbulence increases shaving safety” Ass. Prof Dr. Mitrofanis Pavlidis – Augencentrum Köln – Germany
TWO DIMENSIONAL CUTTER (TDC): UP TO 16,000 CPM*
TDC with VacuFlow VTi fluidics allows surgeon to control flow of tissue into the port for precise cutting.
Port open design reduces intraocular turbulence caused by traditional cutters allowing better surgeon control.
TDC cuts in both directions doubling the cutting further reducing traction.
Port open 92% of the time – for faster tissue removal.
* The TDC cutter has a cut speed of up to 8,000 CPM and is designed to facilitate cutting tissue on the return of each stroke of the vitrectome, effectively doubling the cut speed.
Combining TDC with up to 16,000 CPM* and VacuFlow VTi fluidics defines a new standard for surgeon control.

Prof Fanis Pavlidis, vitreoretinal surgeon from Cologne, Germany, in collaboration with whom the TDC cutter was developed, explains how the latest technology allows for efficiency and security in 27G surgery.
