Vitrectomy system handpiece (A holder for a detachable, micro-cutting tip that converts the energy (e.g., ultrasonic, piezoelectric) produced by a system generator into a mechanical oscillating-cutting action to remove (nibble away) vitreous humour (the jelly-like substance that fills the centre of the eye) during ophthalmic surgery. This device will typically be activated by the surgeon using a foot control and provide or support the irrigation/suction systems needed to supply replacement fluid and remove debris. The handpiece is typically designed in the form of a pen or pencil, and connected to the generator via a cable. This is a reusable device intended to be sterilized prior to use.)
