Intraocular suturing set

The Hybrid series is a set of tube-guided instruments designed for intraocular suturing. They facilitate stitching within the anterior chamber via a paracentesis avoiding the need for surgeons to have to use long needles, which can cause discomfort.

Including a micro needle holder, tying forceps and a pair of scissors, the set is completed by a pair of capsulorhexis forceps suitable for 25G incision size, which, the company reports, enables the user to select entry via either the anterior chamber main incision or paracentesis. Additionally, it is stated that the shape of the forceps is optimized to ensure secure grip and control of the capsule.

Additionally, the portable tonometer us powered by a longlife lithium battery that is claimed to be capable of making 2500 measurements and the display on the LCD screens shows the amount of battery life remaining. Furthermore, the device uses sanitized tip covers to minimize the risk of patient cross-contamination.

Single-use knives

The company reports that the new knives are made from the highest quality stainless steel and feature a new 'teardrop' bevel design for superior sharpness. Additionally, they feature a depth indicator, of 2.0 mm, to assist surgeons in generating proper wound architecture. For safety, each blade locks into a protective plastic case.

These knives are available in a variety of sizes for compatibility with microincision cataract procedures.
