Provided are a trocar (2) for
ophthalmic surgery and a trocar
system provided with the trocar for
ophthalmic surgery, whereby a
surgical instrument having an outer shape larger than that of
forceps can be reliably inserted into the eyeball regardless of the skill of the operator. A trocar (2) for
ophthalmic surgery, in which a hollow
insertion part (4) on the front end side is connected to a hollow main body part (6) on the rear end side, an internal space (8) is formed from a front end opening (4A) of the
insertion part (4) to a rear end opening (6A) of the main body part, and at least the
insertion part (4) is elastic, in a state in which the blade (20) is disposed in the internal space (8) so that the blade tip section (22) protrudes from the tip opening (4A), when viewed from the tip side of the blade tip section (22), the outer shape of the insertion section (4) is substantially shielded by the outer shape of the blade tip section (22), and when the blade tip section (22) is inserted into an eyeball, the insertion section (4) is also inserted into the eyeball along with the blade tip section (22). The insertion part (4) is positioned in the eyeball and the main body part (6) is positioned outside the eyeball by only pulling out the knife (20) from the rear end opening (6A), the blade tip part (22) can pass through the insertion part (4) by expanding the insertion part (4), and in the set state, when the
surgical instrument (30) is inserted into the insertion part (4) from the rear end opening (6A), the insertion part (4) is expanded and the front end part of the
surgical instrument (30) is inserted into the eyeball, and when the surgical instrument (30) is inserted into the main body part (6) from the rear end opening (6A), the blade tip part (22) can pass through the insertion part (4). When the surgical instrument (30) is pulled out from the rear end opening (6A), the expanded insertion part (4) returns to the original shape.
