UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTION OF THE PERISTALTIC AND VENTURI PUMP
In the intricate and precise world of ophthalmology, especially during cataract surgery, the choice of the right pump system is critical. Among the variety of technologies available, peristaltic and Venturi pumps stand out due to their mechanisms and applications. This new animation aims to shed light on these two pump systems, highlighting their principles, differences, and their significant roles.
Choosing the Right Pump for Cataract Surgery
The choice between a peristaltic and a Venturi pump for cataract surgery largely depends on the specific requirements of the procedure and the surgeon's preference. The peristaltic pump offers precise flow control and is particularly suitable for manoeuvres where precision and control are of the utmost importance. In contrast, the Venturi pump builds up the vacuum quickly, which is more suitable for quick procedures.
