An air bubble separator is provided for ophthalmic surgical systems, which includes a housing 102 having a diagonally-oriented flow channel 110 and a vertically-oriented flow channel 130 adjoining the diagonally oriented channel. The diagonally-oriented flow -channel 110 has a downstream portion 112 disposed down-stream of the vertically-oriented flow channel 130, and an upstream portion 118 disposed upstream of the vertically--oriented flow channel 130. The dowm-stream portion 112 of the diagonally-oriented flow channel 110 has a cross-sectional area 114 that is greater than that of the upstream portion 118. The downstream portion's cross-sectional area 114 is greater than the upstream portion's cross-sectional area 124 by an amount or percentage that is sufficient to slow fluid flow through the diagonally-oriented flow channel 110, so as to cause air within the fluid to rise and flow into the vertically-oriented flow channel 130.

L'invention porte sur un séparateur de bulles d'air pour des systèmes chirurgicaux ophtalmiques, qui comprend un boîtier 102 ayant un canal d'écoulement orienté en diagonale 110 d'un canal d'écoulement orienté à la verticale 130 attenant au canal orienté en diagonale. Le canal d'écoulement orienté en diagonale 110 a une partie aval 112 disposée en aval du canal d'écoulement orienté à la verticale 130, et une partie amont 118 disposée en amont du canal d'écoulement orienté à la verticale 130. La partie aval 112 du canal d'écoulement orienté en diagonale 110 a une surface en coupe transversale 114 qui est supérieure à celle de la partie amont 118. La surface en coupe transversale de la partie aval 114 est supérieure à la surface en coupe transversale de la partie amont 124 d'une quantité ou d'un pourcentage qui est suffisant pour ralentir un écoulement de fluide à travers le canal d'écoulement orienté en diagonale 110, de façon à amener de l'air à l'intérieur du fluide à s'élever et à s'écouler dans le canal d'écoulement orienté à la verticale 130.
