Spatula, chopper and forceps are the first purpose-designed tools for femtosecond cataract laser procedures
Malvern, Pennsylvania (October 25, 2012) – Three new ophthalmic instruments that aid femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery have been introduced by Accutome to keep up with advancing procedures.
Accutome’s new instruments are the Eippert Femtosecond Spatula, the Solomon Femtosecond Chopper and the LRI Enhancement Forceps. The new devices help surgeons who use femtosecond cataract lasers to create precise subservice cuts to the eye.
The products each offer specific benefits. The Eippert Spatula helps users accurately open primary and secondary incisions created by the femtosecond laser by offering double-ended sizing for greater versatility and blunt, thin tips to maintain proper wound architecture. The Solomon Femtosecond Chopper’s football-shaped tip is the only instrument designed specifically to chop femtosecond-fragmented nuclei. The LRI Enhancement Forceps, which has a 500-micron gauge to correct depth of incision, can spread accurate incisions during surgery or after, during a slit lamp examination.
