Abstract[English]
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an ophthalmic surgical probe for extrusion. In certain embodiments, the probe includes a beveled probe tip that increases the area of vacuum generation at a target site without increasing probe gauge, thus facilitating improved tissue engagement. In certain embodiments, the probe further includes one or more texturized surfaces for improved "grabbing" and manipulation of target tissues, and/or one or more surfaces formed of polymeric materials to reduce unwanted damage and enhance the safety of use thereof.[French]
Des modes de réalisation de la présente divulgation concernent de manière générale une sonde chirurgicale ophtalmique pour extrusion. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la sonde comprend une pointe de sonde biseautée qui augmente la zone de génération de vide au niveau d'un site cible sans augmenter la jauge de sonde, ce qui facilite une mise en prise de tissu améliorée. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la sonde comprend en outre une ou plusieurs surfaces texturées pour une "préhension" et une manipulation améliorées de tissus cibles, et/ou une ou plusieurs surfaces formées de matériaux polymères pour réduire les dommages indésirables et améliorer la sécurité d'utilisation de celle-ci.
