    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Ophthalmic surgery often requires precise manipulation of the iris.
    • Current iris retractors include disposable and reusable options with varying cost and performance profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel reusable self-retaining iris retractor.
    • To evaluate its cost-effectiveness and impact on lens delivery compared to existing retractors.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a reusable, self-retaining iris retractor design.
    • Comparative analysis of cost and functional features, including vertical flap size, against disposable retractors.

    Main Results:

    • The described retractor is reusable and self-retaining.

  • It is significantly less expensive than disposable alternatives.
  • Features a smaller vertical flap, potentially enhancing ease of lens delivery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The novel reusable iris retractor presents a more economical option for ophthalmic procedures.
    • Its design modifications may improve surgical efficiency, particularly during lens delivery.
