Abstract:
A system for positioning a conduit within an ophthalmic surgical field comprises a conduit (12), a first fixation point (14) and a second fixation point (15). The first fixation point (14) comprises base structure (16) arranged to be secured in a fixed location, and a grip arrangement (18) configured to hold the conduit (12). The grip arrangement (18) is mounted on the base structure (16) by way of a ball joint structure (20, 22), with the ball joint structure (20, 22) being arranged to allow pivoting and rotational movement of the grip arrangement (18) with respect to the base structure (16). The second fixation point (15) is positioned remote from the first fixation point (14) at a predefined distance therefrom. A method for positioning a conduit with an ophthalmic surgical field is also described.
