CA 2633422

A transparent illuminated infusion cannula is provided for illuminating an area during eye surgery. An optical fiber may be spaced a certain distance away from the cannula such that fluid flow around the distal end of the fiber and into the transparent cannula may occur with a much higher flow rate than what had previously been possible. The fiber cannula airspace may be optimized so that the cross-sectional area of the fluid conduit remains substantially constant in order to achieve a best compromise between high light transmittance and high fluid flow rate.

La présente invention concerne une canule de perfusion éclairée pour éclairer une zone lors d'une intervention de chirurgie oculaire. Une fibre optique peut être espacée d'une certaine distance de la canule de sorte que du fluide circulant autour de l'extrémité distale de la fibre et pénétrant dans la canule transparente puisse se produire avec un débit supérieur à ce qui aurait été possible précédemment. L'espace d'air de la fibre de la canule peut être optimisée de sorte que la zone transversale du conduit de fluide reste sensiblement constante afin de réaliser le meilleur compromis entre un facteur de transmission lumineuse élevé et un débit de fluide élevé.
