KITARO DryLab
“KITARO DryLab” is a tool to teach/learn the important steps of phaco surgery such as CCC, nuclear dividing, IOL insertion, wound construction and suture at the desk at home or hospital without using microscope and phaco machine.
Trainers can teach the surgical techniques to novice surgeons step by step at the desk at medical office.
Novice surgeons can practice them repeatedly at the desk at home, and be ahead of rivals.
Conventional practices in wet lab are effective, but actually cannot be done so many times. It is not easy and usually takes a long time to master CCC and instrument manipulations using the incision as the pivot. Repeated practices are necessary to master those techniques. “KITARO DryLab” enables repeaterd teaching and practicing of those necessary techniques anytime, and anywhere.
Anterior Capsule film | CCC
The 5-μm polyester film having a special 2-layer structure and the artificial cortex made of resin clay can reproduce CCC just like on the human eye.
Segmented Plastic Nucleus | Basic Instrumentation, 3 Nuclear Segmentation Techniques
You can learn the basic instrumentation and nuclear segmentation techniques with 3 artificial nuclei for Divide & Conquer, Stop & Chop, and Phaco Chop techniques by dividing and rotating them using mock instruments.
Polymer-Clay Nucleus | Phaco Chop and Prechop Techniques
The artificial nucleus made of special resin clay is most suitable for practicing the Prechop and Phaco Chop techniques, allowing instrument insertion and nuclear dividing. You can repeatedly use the nucleus after kneading and returning it to the original shape with your fingers.
Sclerocorneal Sheet | Self-Sealing Wound Construction, Suture
You can practice self-sealing wound construction and suture with the special resin sheet producing a similar feeling of cutting the human sclerocornea.
Oculomotor Device & Mask | Realistic Sensation
Eye movements and eyelid resistance during instrumentation provide realistic sensation of actual surgery.
KITARO WetLab
KITARO WetLab is a tool designed to simulate phaco surgery using a phaco machine under a microscope in an operation room or wet lab, very similarly on the human eye, while KITARO DryLab is a tool designed to teach and practice the basic phaco surgery techniques at the desk without using machines.
KITARO WetLab is an all-in-one surgical practice kit including:
Oculomotor device (generating similar eye movement by instrument manipulations),
Artificial face with eyelids as soft as human ones,
Mock instruments such as a hook and forceps,
Irrigation bag (using tap water), and Drain system.
No complicated preparation is required.
1. Artificial Cataract Lens | All Phaco Techniques, Complication Management
The artificial cataract lens of KITARO WetLab has the high-quality nucleus, cortex, anterior capsule, and posterior capsule. You can experience 3 types of nuclei varying in hardness (soft, medium, and hard). You can practice almost all steps in phacoemulsification such as CCC, all nuclear segmentation techniques, and even IOL insertion, very similarly on the human eye. In addition, posterior-capsule rupture and nuclear dropping may occur, which allow you to practice intraoperative complication management.
CCC
Grooving & Dividing
Phaco Chop
Prechop
Emulsification & Aspiration
Capsule Rupture Management
2. Artificial Cornea | Self-Sealing Wound, AK (LRI), Suture
The high-quality artificial cornea same as the human cornea in thickness (500 μm thick at the center and 700 μm thick at the periphery) provides a realistic feeling of instrumentation. You can also practice self-sealing wound construction, AK, LRI, and suture.
Self-sealing wound
KITARO ComplexLab
“KITARO ComplexLab” is skill up kit for intermediate surgeons
Used to practice complex cases in cataract suegery.
Ruptured Zonules Management
Installment of capsular tension ring, capsular expander and iris retractors for supporting capsular bag can be practiced.
IOL Transscleral Fixation
Luis method and other various techniques of transscleral IOL suture fixation and sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation can be practiced.
Small Pupil Management
Pupillary dilation with iris retractors and other methods of small pupil management can be practiced.
Manual ECCE
Conventional ECCE with limbal incision and small incision sutureless ECCE (SICS) can be practiced.
Posterior Capsular Tear Management
Treatment of the vitreous prolapse using A-VIT cutter, nucleus extraction using viscoextraction and / or vectis can be practiced.
