Synergetics Versavit 2.0 Vitrectomy System

Abstract

The Synergetics VersaVIT 2.0 (Bausch and Lomb) unit has been introduced as a portable system that can be easily moved from the operating room to the office environment and can also run on battery power. Although the VersaVIT 2.0 system is frequently preferred for uncomplicated and long-lasting cases such as vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous condensation, epiretinal membrane, and macular hole, especially in private practice and outpatient surgery centers, complicated vitreoretinal surgeries can also be performed with the system. The installation of the system is provided in a very short time, such as 10 seconds, and due to its simplicity of use, it is possible to perform surgery with personnel who do not have vitrectomy training. VersaVIT 2.0® is a unique portative vitrectomy system that has a cut rate of 6000 cpm. The entire unit is quite light. It can run on electric current power or up to 60 minutes on a rechargeable internal battery. This system includes the entire vitreoretinal product line, including endolaser probes, endoilluminators, chandeliers, and packs. It allows working with 23, 25, and 27g trocar systems and product bases. Illuminated options of laser probe, vitrector, and infusion cannula are available. Endoilluminators have options that provide both focal, Middlefield, and widefield panoramic lighting. Unlike the first model, VersaVIT 2.0 also has the option of silicone injection and removal features. It has a new trocar system for faster and more practical application. Special trocars are available for pediatric cases. VersaVIT 2.0 is a vitrectomy machine that is portable due to its small size and is preferred in selected cases and also allows advanced vitreoretinal surgeries with its sufficient fluidity and good cutting properties.
