At Haggai Surgical, we provide a range of ophthalmic instruments for ophthalmologists providing visual and eye care. Our ophthalmic instruments are designed to prevent potential eye damage, disease, or injuries.
Ophthalmic instruments include:
- Forceps – Serrated and untoothed forceps for holding tissue, such as the iris, to restrict movement during ophthalmology.
- Needle Holders – For holding the needle in position whilst applying sutures.
- Iris Scissors – Used for intraocular manoeuvres in the iris and deeper and more delicate structures or to cut the external side of the cornea or iris.
USE OF OPHTHALMIC INSTRUMENTS:
Ophthalmic instruments are specialized tools used in eye surgery and other ophthalmic procedures. Here are the key categories of ophthalmic instruments and their usages:
1. Microsurgical Instruments
- Micro Scissors: Used for precise cutting of delicate tissues in the eye, such as during cataract surgery or retinal procedures.
- Micro Forceps: Designed for handling fine tissues or sutures during microsurgery, ensuring precision and control.
2. Speculums
- Eyelid Speculums: Used to hold the eyelids apart during surgery, providing unobstructed access to the eye.
3. Scalpels & Knives
- Cataract Knives: Specialized blades used for making incisions in cataract surgery.
- MVR Knives: Used for creating self-sealing incisions in the sclera during vitrectomy procedures.
4. Needle Holders
- Micro Needle Holders: Designed to hold and manipulate small needles used for suturing delicate eye tissues.
5. Forceps
- Iris Forceps: Used to grasp and manipulate the iris during procedures like iridectomy.
- Capsulorhexis Forceps: Specifically designed for creating and enlarging the anterior capsule opening during cataract surgery.
6. Scissors
- Vannas Scissors: Small, delicate scissors used for cutting fine tissues in eye surgeries.
- Westcott Scissors: Typically used in strabismus surgery for cutting the eye muscles.
7. Lens Manipulation Instruments
- Lens Loops: Used to stabilize or manipulate the lens during cataract surgery.
- IOL (Intraocular Lens) Injectors: Used to insert intraocular lenses into the eye after cataract removal.
8. Choppers & Manipulators
- Nucleus Choppers: Used during phacoemulsification to divide the cataractous lens nucleus.
- Iris Retractors: Used to retract the iris for better visualization and access during surgery.
9. Retinal Instruments
- Retinal Forceps: Used for grasping and manipulating the retina during vitreoretinal surgery.
- Vitrectomy Cutters: Specialized tools for cutting and removing vitreous gel during retinal surgery.
10. Probes & Cannulas
- Lacrimal Probes: Used to unblock and dilate the lacrimal ducts in tear drainage procedures.
- Cannulas: Used for the injection or aspiration of fluids during various eye surgeries.
11. Suturing Instruments
- Tying Forceps: Used for holding and tying sutures in delicate eye surgeries.
- Suture Scissors: Designed to cut fine sutures during ophthalmic procedures.
12. Diagnostic Instruments
- Tonometers: Used to measure intraocular pressure, aiding in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
- Ophthalmoscopes: Handheld devices used to examine the retina and other structures inside the eye.
These instruments are essential for the precise and delicate nature of ophthalmic surgery, where accuracy and control are critical for successful outcomes.
