Abstract
Abstract A synchronous vitreous lavage device for ophthalmology an includes a platform, a pair of main supporters, an auxiliary supporter, a pair of gears, a pair of movable seats, a pair of screw rods, and a clamp. When the screw rods rotate in different directions, the two movable seats move in opposite direction. Thus, the lavage device simultaneously drains bloody water from the eyeball, and injects lavage water into the eyeball by means of two syringes. The bloody water in the eyeball can be easily removed from the eyeball at a cheap cost. An ophthalmologic lavaging system is formed by connecting two regulating syringes through two three-way valves to the lavage device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
An ophthalmologic lavaging system comprising: a platform; a plurality of main supporters and an auxiliary supporter fixed on said platform; a plurality of gears mated together and mounted on said platform; a plurality of movable seats each having a threaded hole; a plurality of screw rods each having a first end rotatable about a main supporter and a second end connected to said gears, and passing through the threaded hole of a movable seat; a plurality of main syringes mounted on said main supporters; a clamp for fixing said main syringes on said auxiliary supporter; a plurality of regulating syringes; a plurality of syringe needles; and a plurality of three-way valves each having a first end connected to a main syringe through a tube, a second end connected to a regulating syringe, and a third end connected to a syringe needle through a tube; wherein one main syringe drains bloody water from an eyeball of a patient and the other main syringe injects lavage water into an eyeball simultaneously through said syringe needles when said screw rods are rotating, and said regulating syringes regulate the amount of said bloody water and said lavage water for maintaining pressure in an eyeball in a normal range.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
An ophthalmologic lavaging system comprising: a platform; a plurality of main supporters and an auxiliary supporter fixed on said platform; a plurality of gears mated together and mounted on said platform; a plurality of movable seats each having a threaded hole; a plurality of screw rods each having a first end rotatable about a main supporter and a second end connected to said gears, and passing through the threaded hole of a movable seat; a plurality of main syringes mounted on said main supporters; a clamp for fixing said main syringes on said auxiliary supporter; a plurality of regulating syringes; a plurality of syringe needles; and a plurality of three-way valves each having a first end connected to a main syringe through a tube, a second end connected to a regulating syringe, and a third end connected to a syringe needle through a tube; wherein one main syringe drains bloody water from an eyeball of a patient and the other main syringe injects lavage water into an eyeball simultaneously through said syringe needles when said screw rods are rotating, and said regulating syringes regulate the amount of said bloody water and said lavage water for maintaining pressure in an eyeball in a normal range.
