Anchor for Why TDC VELOCE
performance. stability. control.
The future of vitrectomy is at hand with TDC VELOCE, the next-generation high-speed cutter for EVA NEXUS that enables SMART IOP. TDC VELOCE unites performance, stability, control, and a new ergonomic design with increased shaft stiffness for ease of reaching the periphery and shaving the vitreous base. Along with smart NEXUS technology that responds to surgeon needs, TDC VELOCE brings the next generation of surgery within reach.
TDC VELOCE was developed in collaboration with Prof. Mitrofanis Pavlidis, Germany.

Anchor for Performance
Performance
-
Improved aspiration flow
TDC VELOCE provides improved aspiration flow rates compared to the TDC cutter: +14% for 25G and +26% for 27G, resulting in reduced vitrectomy time.
-
Cut speed up to 20.000 CPM*
The increased cut rate reduces tissue traction, while the TDC dual cutter design, perfectly complemented by VacuFlow VTi fluidics, makes vitrectomy more efficient.
Anchor for Stability
Stability
-
SMART IOP for posterior surgery
TDC VELOCE enables SMART IOP for posterior surgery, allowing EVA NEXUS to automatically compensate for pressure losses. It adjusts the irrigation/infusion pressure to maintain a constant IOP during surgery and improved stability during procedures.
-
Working close to a mobile retina
TDC VELOCE provides stable flow rate at all cut speeds. Using Flow Mode of the EVA NEXUS VacuFlow VTi pump allows for precise aspiration and maximised control working close to a mobile retina.
Anchor for Control
Control
-
Increased stiffness
For ease of reaching the periphery and shaving the vitreous base, stiffness of the shaft had been increased for all gauges (23G, 25G and 27G).
-
New ergonomics
TDC VELOCE is equipped with a soft touch surface for comfortable grip, has a distal port indicator, and comes with a protective sleeve that can be used as an optional extension handle.
* The EVA NEXUS output can be controlled up to a maximum frequency of 10.000 cycles per minute. The maximum cutting speed of the pneumatic high speed vitrectome is effectively doubled to 20k CPM when a two-dimensional cutting vitrectome, like TDC VELOCE is used.

surgeons about TDC VELOCE
Join Prof. Mitrofanis Pavlidis, co-developer of the TDC VELOCE, as he takes you through the development journey, highlights key improvements over the TDC cuter, and outlines the essential benefits for surgeons. Watch the surgical video courtesy of prof. Pavlidis in the "Surgical Videos" section below.
Prof. Mario Romano, Italy, shares his insights on the TDC VELOCE, emphasizing its stability, efficiency and control.
Dr. Mariantonia Ferrara from Italy outlines the remarkable performance, stable fluidic environment, and increased stiffness of the TDC VELOCE.
Dr. Fabio Patelli from Italy highlights the efficiency, stability and precision of the TDC VELOCE cutter. Watch the surgical video courtesy of Dr. Patelli in the "Surgical Videos" section below.
Dr. Tomaso Caporossi, Italy, discusses working close to the retina, the role of SMART IOP, and the improved rigidity across all gauges.
“In my recent experience with the TDC VELOCE platform, the combination of high cut speeds with markedly improved stiffness results in a very stable and predictable performance during complex posterior segment surgery. The enhanced aspiration flow provides better followability, particularly in dense vitreous and PVR cases, allowing for controlled and efficient tissue removal. The synergy of TDC VELOCE with SMART IOP delivers a remarkably steady intraoperative environment, reducing fluctuations and enabling precise manoeuvres even in challenging surgical steps. Overall, TDC VELOCE offers a significant leap forward in safety, control, and surgical efficiency.”
“The innovative TDC VELOCE Cutter in combination with EVA NEXUS system enables us to perform core vitrectomy with stunning efficiency. With the aid of SMART IOP, shaving peripheral vitreous can be performed with high precision and with reduced risks.The newly designed cutter also provides increased comfort and improved stiffness.”
“TDC VELOCE provides many advantages over the previous model, such as more precise vitreous cutting with less traction of the retina especially in flow control mode, increased stiffness, and increased efficacy. With TDC VELOCE, I feel almost all vitrectomy cases can be treated with a 27-gauge system.
With new SMART IOP, the IOP is kept much more stable. Moreover, surgeons do not need to think about venting while injecting silicone oil, dye, or any materials, because SMART IOP allows for backflow, which prevents IOP elevation.
With the new cutter design, I feel it fits my hands better, provides a more secure grip, and is easier to hold.”
“The EVA NEXUS surgical system is rich with innovation, TDC VELOCE is another example of this. This cutter is highly efficient with increased stiffness for better reach into the periphery and a larger inner lumen for enhanced aspiration.”
