    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Standard surgical tools can be inadequate for manipulating inflexible intraocular membranes.
    • Removal of intraocular foreign bodies often requires specialized instruments for safe extraction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce novel vitreous scissors and forceps designed for enhanced surgical capabilities.
    • To address the limitations of existing instruments in complex ophthalmic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of vitreous scissors featuring bent blades for improved access and maneuverability.
    • Design of larger-than-usual forceps to provide a secure grip on challenging tissues and foreign bodies.

    Main Results:

    • The developed instruments facilitate the removal of inflexible membranes, which are often difficult to excise.
