    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Enucleation requires precise optic nerve transection.
    • Current methods may lack optimal hemostasis or precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new instrument for optic nerve sectioning during enucleation.
    • To highlight the advantages of this instrument over existing techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • The instrument applies a nonreactive tantalum clip around the optic nerve.
    • A built-in knife blade transects the nerve anterior to the clip.

    Main Results:

    • The device provides rapid and effective hemostasis of optic nerve vessels.
    • It ensures transection of only the clipped optic nerve tissue.
