Smooth trocar placement.
The new Caliburn Trocar System is designed around the key elements of smooth trocar placement. From bevelled cannula design to tactile orientation and integrated handling features, every detail works together so you can enjoy surgery.
What makes the new trocar different
High cutting force: The sharp, lance-shaped blade delivers high cutting force into the sclera and forms the foundation for smooth entry*.
Bevelled cannula: The bevelled trocar cannula support smooth insertion into the sclera to provide a controlled and continuous penetration force*.
Integrated markings: Tactile markings on the handle and an integrated incision marker gives you instant orientation. This lets you feel the alignment right away and identify the correct incision point at the pars plana in no time*.
Sustainability: Designed with sustainability in mind, the new packaging and product design reduces waste by 30 % per trocar set (*2).
How smooth trocar
placement works
See how the Caliburn Trocar System supports smooth trocar placement through the combination of a sharp, lance-shaped blade and a bevelled design of the trocar cannula.
Factors that shape trocar placement
Bevelled cannula
for smooth insertionThe new trocar design combines a sharp, lance-shaped blade with a bevelled trocar cannula to support smooth insertion into the sclera. This interplay lets you feel a controlled and continuous penetration force*.
Tactile markings
for instant orientationClear tactile markings on the handle let you immediately feel the correct orientation, eliminating the need for additional visual control under the microscope*.
Incision marker for precise
3 mm and 4 mm markingsThe integrated incision marker on the handle provides precise 3 mm and 4 mm markings. This helps you locate the correct incision point at the pars plana in no time.
Integrated self-sealing
to maintain IOPThe integrated self-sealing membrane with a 4-flap concept maintains IOP by preventing the leakage of BSS, air or oil. It also supports smooth instrument insertion and can be easily removed and reinserted when needed*.
Infusion tube with
snap-lock connectionThe convenient snap-lock connection allows flexible repositioning of the infusion tube during surgery. When connecting the infusion tube, a noticeable click confirms the reliable snap-lock connection*.
Up to 43 % less penetration force
The diagram illustrates how the Caliburn Trocar System achieves up to 43 % less penetration force compared to the previous Caliburn Trocar System. This reduction is based on the interplay of a sharp, lance-shaped blade and the bevelled design of the trocar cannula, supporting a noticeably smoother entry into the sclera*.
Up to 76 % more
inflow at 23G
The diagram shows how the Caliburn Trocar System provides 76 % more inflow at 23G compared to the previous Caliburn Trocar System. In combination with the high aspiration performance of the Continuous Flow Cutter, this supports stable intraocular pressure conditions during surgery*.
