    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Ophthalmic microsurgery requires precise manipulation of delicate extraocular muscles.
    • Existing surgical clamps may cause unintended tissue damage or slippage.
    • The development of specialized instruments is crucial for improving surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel small vascular clamp designed for ophthalmic surgery.
    • To assess the clamp's efficacy in securely holding extraocular muscles without causing crushing injuries.
    • To determine the suitability of the clamp's angled, serrated edges for delicate tissue handling.

    Main Methods:

    • A small vascular clamp featuring serrated edges at a 45-degree angle was designed and fabricated.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The clamp's performance was evaluated in simulated ophthalmic surgical conditions.
  • Histological analysis was performed to assess potential tissue trauma.

    • Main Results:

    • The clamp demonstrated a firm grip on simulated extraocular muscles.
    • No signs of crushing or significant tissue damage were observed.
    • The 45-degree angled serrations provided secure atraumatic tissue engagement.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel small vascular clamp offers a secure and atraumatic method for holding extraocular muscles in ophthalmic procedures.
    • This instrument has the potential to enhance surgical precision and reduce complications associated with muscle manipulation.
    • Further in vivo studies are warranted to confirm its clinical utility.
