    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Instruments

    Background:

    • Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) pose significant risks to vision.
    • Existing retrieval methods may be inadequate for small, nonmagnetic IOFBs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new retriever designed for small, nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies.
    • To evaluate the initial clinical efficacy of this novel device.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized intraocular foreign body retriever.
    • Conducting initial clinical trials focusing on vitreous surgery cases.

    Main Results:

    • The newly devised retriever demonstrated satisfactory performance.
    • The device showed particular utility in cases involving vitreous surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The new retriever is a promising tool for managing small, nonmagnetic IOFBs.
    • Further application in vitreous surgery is warranted and shows potential.
