MaxIRIS

MaxIRIS™ Flexible Iris RetractorASICO features a unique packaging modality that enables surgeon to use each iris hook separately and to remove one iris hook at a time, as necessary for the procedure

MaxIRIS™ Flat Iris Retractor• Flat profile allows for less chance of movement

while iris is being retracted• Less Trauma to Iris

Parallel hook end will not get stuck in incision

The hydrophobic disc offers controlled resistance enabling hook to stay in its position

Smooth finish on material in contact with the cornea and iris

0.3mm port

Elimination of swivel motion reduces mechanical stress on the incision

Ball I/A tip has 1.1mm ball which blocks the forward irrigation and ensures maximum irrigation through the side port of sleeve. Ball I/A tip features a 45 degree port allowing for a complete cortical clean up without stretching the incision(Available in Straight, Bent and Curved version)

Groove for haptic accommodation

Soon Phaik Chee, MDSingapore

Chee Angulated Subluxated IOL Grasping Forceps, 23GThe slim profile of this 23G micro forceps in combination with the angulation of the tip allows it to be inserted through a paracentesis to securely grasp a posteriorly displaced intraocular lens optic or haptic atraumatically regardless of its orientation, facilitating its retrieval into the anterior segment. Furthermore the jaws of this instrument open widely enabling it to readily take hold of thick and thin optics with ease

Chee Subluxated IOL Grasping Forceps, 23GRetrieving subluxated implants from the vitreous cavity can be difficult. Currently available micro grasper forceps are designed to grip onto the capsular bag remnants that envelop the IOL and are not ideal for gripping the optic or the haptic. This specially designed atraumatic forceps, designed in 23G, has gently sand-blasted gripping surfaces that allow the surgeon to reach and hold onto the IOL optic or haptic as needed

Slot for Maneuvering of Haptics

Nishi IOL Haptic Fixation Forceps 23G

• The Nishi forceps has a groove which is located at an angle to hold the haptic. This ensures easy capture of the haptic without much maneuvering or crushing the haptic

• The angulation of the tip provides ease of manipulating the haptic

VRTIS™ Kusaka Vertical Scissors 23GThin profile allows precise control while cutting with minimal risks to choroids or underlying membrane

VRTIS™ Corcostegui Pick Forceps 23G

Concave jaws are designed to provide increasedvisibility (A) while grasping and elevating the membraneeven when jaws are closed. Broad surface of the tip (B)allows for effective picking (C) and peeling(Also available in 25G and 27G)

Machat KAMRA® Pocket Lifter

This is an essential tool for KAMRA® pocket procedures, designed to open the mouth of the pocket during the introduction of the KAMRA® inlay, preventing epithelial cells from being introduced and providing counter-traction upon placement of the KAMRA® inlay allowing the withdrawal of the forceps without altering placement of the inlay

MC Arbelaez Double Marker

The MC Arbelaez double marker has the same dimensions as the KAMRA® inlay, which makes it far easier, accurate to align and center the inlay in the cornea, because of the two references, the central one and the peripheral one, any small displacements in any direction are easy to spot. The markings represents circles of 1.6mm and 3.8mm

The unique construction enables constant visualization of the donor tissue. The targeted base (tissue holders) facilitates centration, while precut groves to match each trephine diameter prevent bending and damage to both tissue and disposable trephine blade

Marking edges are highlighted
