Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Preretinal membrane removal is a critical step in vitreoretinal surgery.
  • Existing instruments may require multiple tool exchanges during membrane excision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel intraocular instrument designed for efficient preretinal membrane removal.
  • To describe the dual functionality of the instrument as both forceps and scissors.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new intraocular surgical instrument.
  • Description of its integrated forceps and cutting mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • The instrument combines forceps for membrane grasping and peeling.
  • It also incorporates scissors for precise cutting of preretinal membranes.
