ABSTRACT

The Simcoe irrigation-aspiration cannula was developed nearly 40 years ago and is still the most frequently employed tool for cortex aspiration. Although it stands unsurpassed, here we attempt to introduce an addition to the existing Simcoe cannula to achieve a dynamic and controlled vacuum with the added advantage of less physical strain and an effective volume of aspiration. The vacuum-assisted cortex removal device is based on a simple spring action mechanism, where the relaxation of the spring pushes the plunger up and thereby generates a controlled vacuum
