Modified Scleral Depressor, 4 7/8", for Transillumination of the Sclera, Round Handle

Modified Scleral Depressor Set for Transillumination

This modified scleral depressor set is engineered specifically for precise transillumination of the sclera during ophthalmic procedures. Featuring a round handle design, these instruments provide surgeons with superior grip stability and control while manipulating ocular tissues. The set includes multiple depressors measuring approximately four to five inches in length, allowing for versatile access across different surgical fields. Designed for high-volume hospital and ambulatory surgery center environments, these tools ensure consistent performance and reliability. Their specialized geometry facilitates accurate light transmission through the sclera, aiding in the identification of retinal breaks or foreign bodies without causing excessive tissue trauma.

• Transillumination of the sclera to locate retinal breaks
• Identification of intraocular foreign bodies during vitreoretinal surgery
• Stabilization of the globe during posterior segment examinations
• Assisting in laser photocoagulation procedures by providing clear visualization

• Clean immediately after use to prevent biological material from drying on the instrument surface.
• Inspect the tip and shaft for any signs of bending or damage before sterilization.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for autoclave-compatible sterilization cycles to maintain structural integrity.

Always verify compatibility with your specific facility's sterilization protocols and clinical standards.
