Ophthalmic Surgery
|September 1, 1990
Abstract:
We present an irrigating microsurgical knife for ocular surgery. Irrigation of balanced salt solution through the knife tip during sectioning removes hemorrhages continuously, allowing uninterrupted sectioning, without cauterization of bleeding vessels. The "zero degree" knife can be bent in any required position.
