Wortz Femto Visco Dissector Cannula

Gary Wortz MD

Show Description +

This video demonstrates the first use of the Wortz Femto Visco Dissector Cannula. In this case, I used the LenSx to create the corneal wounds, as well as the capsulorhexis and lens chops. Rather than opening the wounds with a spatula, I have created a viscoelastic cannula that is tapered at the end which will allow for easy entry through the femto created corneal wounds. It also allows the surgeon to fill the anterior chamber with viscoelastic in the same maneuver. I developed this cannula with Storz and it is commercially is available, however I have no financial interest in this device.
