Comparison of Valved and Non Valved Trocar Cannulas During Surgical Technique with Perfluoro-N-Octane

Martin Charles, MD; Dina J. Abulon, MS; Daniel E. Charles, MD; Norberti Cabrera, MD, discuss quantitative analysis of fluid motion and observed differences in fluid stability during vitrectomy with PFO demonstrated that valved cannulas created more intraoperative fluid stability than non-valved cannulas. Overall, Valved cannulas may be the best instrument selection for surgical technique while working with PFC.
