Vitrectomy Recovery Equipment We provided quality medical equipment to allow for comfortable face-down recovery following a vitrectomy operation. After a vitrectomy, patients must remain in a face-down recovery position, from one day to several weeks. This position allows the bubble to press against the macula and be gradually reabsorbed by the eye, sealing the hole. As the bubble is reabsorbed, the vitreous cavity refills with natural eye fluids. Maintaining a face down position is crucial to the success of the surgery and our medical equipment rentals help ensure successful recovery.
